The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X35SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 35mm 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.
Short travel, solid muscle: the MAC50X35SU is a 50 mm bore round-body mini cylinder from AirTAC, double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981 N and pulls 881 N, and at 0.7 MPa push climbs to 1374 N - roughly a 200 kgf class actuator inside a stainless barrel. The 35 mm stroke keeps the installed length tight for jigs and clamping stations.
The riveted stainless-steel barrel shrugs off washdown mist and mild corrosion where painted mini cylinders would blister, and the hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod resists scoring on dusty lines. A magnet ships built in, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches snap on for end-of-stroke detection with no special piston required. With the U flat-end back cover the body bolts flat against a fixture wall, no added bracket needed. Plan on about 589 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 981 N rating, and the sizing already carries margin for friction and pressure sag.

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 |
|---|---|---|

| 0.7 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.

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.
Pressing bushings into aluminium housings in a small assembly cell - about 589 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa seats light interference fits without a hydraulic unit.
A 35 mm throw is enough to swing a product gate between two conveyor lanes, and the variable cushion stops the paddle slamming at each end of travel.
Holds a steel bracket square during spot welding, with the stainless barrel standing up to coolant mist and grinding dust around the cell.
If 981 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 40 mm bore MAC pushes 628 N and runs cheaper; if the load grows, step to the 63 mm bore for 1558 N. Keep in mind a plain MAC does not lock its position when air drops - the rod drifts under load, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock for held loads. The magnet is already in the piston for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets bolt on if the U flat-end cover alone does not suit the frame.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981 N and pulls 881 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 1374 N and 1233 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is about 200 kgf. Supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speed from 30 to 800 mm/s, and the 1/4 inch ports and M14x1.5 rod thread come fixed with the 50 mm bore.
No. Every MAC ships with the magnet already in the piston, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches mount straight onto the stainless barrel. The U back cover gives a flat face for direct bolting, and if the frame needs more, FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets are standard options.
