Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X225SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X225SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 225mm 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 MAC50X225SCA
At 225 mm of stroke, this double-acting 50 mm mini cylinder reaches deep into machines - press probes, sliding chutes, long linkages - while still delivering 981.3 N of push and 880.8 N of pull at 0.5 MPa from its stainless round body. The rolling-packed, riveted construction keeps the long barrel sealed, and the CA pivot back cover accepts a clevis pin for swinging motion.
Cushioning is a variable air cushion at both ends, so even a 225 mm sweep at up to 800 mm/s can be slowed gently before the covers. The magnet comes fitted as standard equipment, meaning CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches snap on for mid-stroke or end detection. Supply 40 um filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). For sizing, carry about 589 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - roughly six tenths of the rating - into your load calculation rather than the headline figure.

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 MAC50X225SCA Is Used
Deep-die ejector on a press tool
Ejects formed panels from a deep lower die; 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa clears sheet cleanly through the full 225 mm of tool depth.
Sliding stop on a pallet conveyor
Raises and lowers a stop blade across the line; the 225 mm stroke clears tall pallet loads while cushioned ends take the cycle shock.
Dock-leveler hold-open link
Drives a long linkage that props a dock plate open; the pivot tail follows the arm through its travel without added brackets.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X225SCA the Right Cylinder?
Neighbouring sizes bracket this one: the 40 mm bore (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) suits lighter 225 mm moves, while the 63 mm bore (1557.9 N) handles pressing along a long stroke. Guard the 16 mm rod against side loads over the 225 mm travel by guiding the load on external rails, and open the cushion needles gradually at commissioning. The CA pivot cover pairs with swing linkages; FA flange, LB foot or SDB brackets mount the body where a fixed anchor is wanted. If a load must be held when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve - the cylinder itself will not park the rod.
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 MAC50X225SCA FAQ
Push is 981.3 N and pull 880.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 1373.8 N and 1233.1 N, with 200.1 kgf as the theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa. Run it on 40 um filtered air within 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi), rod speed 30-800 mm/s, 1/4" ports and an M14x1.5 male rod thread.
The stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod resist corrosion in wet or outdoor settings better than painted minis, and the rolling-packed covers keep the long body sealed over its full travel. Both ends carry a variable air cushion - back the needle screws off at first start, then close them gradually for a soft landing. The built-in magnet works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches from day one.
