Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X220SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X220SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 220mm 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.

About the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X220SCA
Long reach with a pivoting tail: the 220 mm stroke on this 50 mm double-acting cylinder swings rods through gate, linkage and index-arm jobs while the CA back cover takes a pivot pin directly. Force at 0.5 MPa is 981.3 N extending and 880.8 N retracting; at 0.7 MPa the extend figure climbs to 1373.8 N. The stainless round barrel and hard-chrome rod shrug off damp plant air year round.
Every cylinder of this family carries its magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be fitted for position feedback along the 220 mm travel without special ordering. Cushioning is variable air at each end, tuned via the needle screws so a fast-moving linkage lands quietly. Pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and the 220 mm move can be swept anywhere from 30-800 mm/s. Dividing the 0.5 MPa push by gravity gives about 100 kgf - allowing a 2:1 factor, the rod lifts roughly 50 kg vertically.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X220SCA Is Used
Diverter gate drive on a conveyor
Swings a diverter gate through its arc; 981 N at 0.5 MPa overcomes gate friction even with product riding on the belt.
Index arm on a pallet transfer unit
Rotates parts between two stations; the CA pivot back cover follows the arm naturally with no extra knuckle hardware.
Lid tilt on a tote-emptying station
Opens a loaded tote lid through 220 mm; about 50 kg of vertical lift capability at a 2:1 margin copes with heavy polymer lids.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X220SCA the Right Cylinder?
Place it against neighbours: the 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa for lighter linkages, the 63 mm bore 1557.9 N where a 220 mm throw must also push hard. Over 220 mm even small side loads bend the 16 mm rod, so guide the load externally rather than letting the rod carry lateral force. The pivot back cover suits swing links; add an FA flange, LB foot or SDB bracket if the body needs a fixed anchor instead. When air is dumped or the valve centred the rod coasts freely - a pilot check valve holds intermediate positions.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X220SCA FAQ
Yes: 981.3 N push and 880.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 1373.8 N push and 1233.1 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 200.1 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-800 mm/s, and connections are 1/4" ports with an M14x1.5 rod thread.
Keep side loads off the rod: over a long travel, lateral force bends a 16 mm rod quickly, so guide the load on slides or rails. The variable cushion at each end is then opened with the needle screws to bring the 220 mm move to a soft stop, while the standard magnet lets CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches report end positions.
