Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X350SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X350SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 350mm 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 MAC50X350SCM
Where a fixed rod-end eye is not needed, the MAC50X350SCM swaps in a CM round-end back cover while keeping the same 50 mm bore core: 981.3 N push and 880.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 1373.8 N on extend at 0.7 MPa and 200.1 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with adjustable air cushions at both heads, so end-of-stroke impact stays controllable over the full 350 mm of travel.
The riveted stainless round body and hard-chrome plated rod handle humid workshops and periodic hosing without paint flaking off the way it does on coated aluminium minis. Cushioning absorbs load energy near each end, letting you run toward the 800 mm/s ceiling with heavy payloads attached. Budget for about 589 N of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa - the equivalent of hoisting roughly 50 kg vertically with a comfortable 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.
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 MAC50X350SCM Is Used
Bottling crate destacker
Slides crates of empty bottles off a destacker ramp; 981 N at 0.5 MPa moves wet, heavy crates while the stainless barrel survives rinse-downs.
Grain silo slide gate
Opens and closes the slide gate under a grain hopper; the round-end CM cover bolts flat against the gate frame without extra adaptors.
Pallet dispenser feed
Feeds empty pallets into a dispenser magazine; 981 N shoves warped hardwood pallets home and the cushions catch the drop at the end of travel.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X350SCM the Right Cylinder?
Size against the neighbours: a 40 mm MAC manages 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 63 mm bore delivers 1557.9 N when the mechanism needs more muscle. Air pressure alone does not park the piston - once the valve exhausts, the load can back-drive the rod, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock for held positions. The CM round end suits clevis-free fixed layouts; bolt on FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot plates as the frame demands, and the fitted magnet lets DMSG or EMSG switches read position anywhere along the barrel. With 350 mm of unsupported rod, bracket the load so side thrust stays minimal.
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 MAC50X350SCM FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 981.3 N extend and 880.8 N retract. At 0.7 MPa the extend force is 1373.8 N, and theoretical peak output is 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply range runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), rod speed 30-800 mm/s, ports 1/4 in PT as standard on this code.
The CM cover gives a plain round boss at the rear, so you can face-mount the cylinder or add FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot plates without adaptors. Cushion needles at both ends stay reachable for tuning the 350 mm stroke, and the standard magnet keeps CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switch options open.
