The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X195SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 195mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration on site.
Stainless steel and 981 N of push come together in the MAC50X195SCA, a Dia 50 round-body mini cylinder built for oily, wet or outdoor air. The barrel is stainless, the covers are aluminium alloy rolled and riveted to it, and the 16 mm carbon-steel rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plating. Double acting with a variable air cushion at each end, it runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) between 30 and 800 mm/s.
With 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa available over a 195 mm stroke, the working number to size around is closer to 589 N once you keep a sensible margin. That still covers a loaded ejector or clamp in a bottling hall, and the CA pivot back cover rides swing linkages without a separate clevis. The built-in magnet - standard on this series - pairs with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for end-of-stroke signalling.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MA-series datasheet. Barrel: stainless-steel tube (round-body, riveted rolling-packed construction); piston rod: carbon steel with 20µm hard-chrome plating; covers: aluminium alloy. Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT. Every MA-series cylinder ships with a built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position sensors.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×195 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion), MAR (cushioned with integrated F/U mount). Mounting accessories: FA flange, LB foot, SDB pivot; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Feeds cartons into a case-packer infeed lane; the cushioned stop squares each box without crushing the board.
Dips a small rack into a coating tank on a paint line; the stainless barrel tolerates the humid, solvent-laden air around the tank.
Helps a Geneva-style indexer snap a carousel into its detent on an assembly rotary; 589 N of working force is ample for the bump.
Compare before you commit: the bore 40 MAC produces 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa and the bore 63 reaches 1557.9 N, so this Dia 50 sits squarely in the middle for mid-weight pushes. At 195 mm the 16 mm rod is long enough that side loads should be taken by external guides, not the piston rod itself. Mount on the CA pivot, or add an FA flange, LB foot or SDB bracket to suit the machine frame; I and Y rod knuckles connect the linkage end. Note that centring the valve leaves the rod free to wander - it holds nothing without a check valve or rod lock.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 981.3 N push, 880.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 1373.8 N push, 1233.1 N pull. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa (145 psi): 200.1 kgf. Stroke is 195 mm, ports are 1/4 inch and the rod thread is M14x1.5.
Yes - the high-precision stainless tube plus the 20 um hard-chrome plating on the 16 mm rod resist the mild corrosion and frequent hosing that wreck painted-steel minis. The heterogeneous piston seal also stores grease, which keeps lubrication working between maintenance visits.
