The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X200SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 200mm 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.
Two hundred millimetres of travel from a 50 mm bore makes the MAC50X200SCM a workhorse for long push-and-pull strokes. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at each end: 981 N of push and 881 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 1374 N at 0.7 MPa. The CA pivot back cover lets the cylinder rock in linkages instead of being bolted rigid.
The stainless barrel is rolled into aluminium covers - no tie rods to retorque and no paint to chip in wet areas. Needle screws on both caps tune the cushioning to any load across the 30-800 mm/s speed band. For sizing, treat about 589 N as the practical working force at 0.5 MPa; in vertical service the rod raises roughly 50 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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.

| 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.
Pushes into a PET bottle belt to divert flow between two lanes; the pivot cover absorbs rail misalignment over the long 200 mm travel.
Tilts an automotive sensor housing through 90 degrees on a pivot pin; 881 N of pull returns the fixture with no counterweight needed.
Halts rolling pallet cages on a gravity line; both air cushions keep the 200 mm stop slam-free even at 800 mm/s.
Compare the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) if space is tight, or step up to the 63 mm bore (1558 N) when loads outgrow this cylinder's comfortable range. Air ports are 1/4" and the rod carries an M14x1.5 male thread; PT is standard with G and NPT available. A centred valve or lost air lets the piston coast freely - the cushion is a shock absorber, never a brake - so add a pilot check valve where position must persist. FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets bolt on if the CA pivot alone does not suit the frame.
Quick checklist
Bore 50 gives 981.3 N forward and 880.8 N back at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 1373.8 N and 1233.1 N. The 1.0 MPa theoretical ceiling is 200.1 kgf. Proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi) against a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) working band.
Yes. The 50 mm tube is stainless steel and the 16 mm rod is hard-chrome plated carbon steel, so splash and humidity do not rust or paint-flake the way they do on painted minis. The heterogeneous piston seal also stores grease, keeping the 200 mm stroke smooth between services.
