The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X275SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 275mm 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.
Swinging, lever and toggle linkages want a pivot, and the MAC50X275SCA ships with exactly that: a CA pivot back cover on a 50 mm double-acting body. Expect 981.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa (880.8 N on retract) across a 275 mm stroke, with a variable air cushion at both ends to tame linkage slam. The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome rod keep corrosion out of damp plants and outdoor rigs.
Vertical mounting lifts close to 100 kg against gravity - halve that to about 50 kg for a comfortable 2:1 margin on actual part weights. Design around roughly 589 N of continuous force and the cylinder will run cool and last. A magnet comes built in, letting CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors report end positions without any special-order hardware. Speeds 30-800 mm/s; pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi).

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.

| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×275 | 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.
A pivoting deflector plate on a grain or plastic pellet line swings through 275 mm of arc, driven by 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa.
The CA pivot couples straight to a lever linkage on welding jigs, with the air cushion keeping the toggle from hammering home.
Lab and pharma carousel trays tilt or advance on a 275 mm stroke; the standard magnet feeds a DMSG signal straight to the PLC.
The 275 mm stroke and pivot cover suit swing arms and four-bar linkages; if the job is a straight fixed push, compare the U flat-end back cover, and for heavier duty the 63 mm bore gives 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa versus 628.3 N from a 40 mm. Long strokes like this deserve alignment attention - a side-loaded 16 mm rod will wear seals early, so guide the load or add a knuckle. When air is vented the rod drifts freely, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended arm.
Quick checklist
Push is 981.3 N and pull 880.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 1373.8 N push and 1233.1 N pull. Theoretical ceiling is 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
A pivot lets the cylinder follow an arc, so linkages and swing arms are never forced sideways. The body itself is a riveted stainless round barrel with a hard-chrome 16 mm rod and a standard magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches - no special piston needed.
