Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X40SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X40SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 40mm 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 MAC50X40SU
Short on space but not on push, the MAC50X40SU packs a 50 mm cushioned bore into just 40 mm of stroke. Air drives the rod both ways, and a variable air cushion at each end absorbs the last of the shock, so this compact unit can clamp or press at up to 800 mm/s without hammering its covers. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.3 N and pulls 880.8 N - enough to lift about 100 kg vertically, or 50 kg if you keep a 2:1 margin for the real part weight.
The body is a rolled stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod, so damp washdown corners and outdoor rigs do not chew it up the way they do painted mini cylinders. A magnet comes built in as standard, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and the U flat-end back cover gives a fixed mount with no extra bracket. Ports are 1/4", rod thread M14x1.5, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 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.
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 MAC50X40SU Is Used
Terminal crimper
A 40 mm stroke press that crimps spade terminals on wiring-harness lines, using the 981 N push at 0.5 MPa with cushioned landings.
Nameplate stamper
Stamps serial nameplates onto switchgear enclosures, the 880.8 N return stroke pulling the tool clear between parts.
Glue-head press
Dabs and presses glue dots onto MDF drawer bottoms, the short 40 mm stroke trimming compressed-air use on every cycle.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X40SU the Right Cylinder?
A 50 mm bore at 0.5 MPa pushes 981.3 N; if your job needs less than about 628 N, step down to the 40 mm bore, and if you need more than the 1557.9 N of the 63 mm bore, MAC will not get you there in this family. Remember the plain MAC does not lock its position - when air is cut the rod drifts, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The 40 mm stroke keeps side loads negligible, the U back cover plus an FA flange or LB foot anchors the body rigidly, and the standard magnet pairs straight with CMSG sensors.
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 MAC50X40SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.3 N and pulls 880.8 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 1373.8 N push and 1233.1 N pull. The theoretical maximum for this 50 mm bore is 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.
No. Every MAC50X40SU ships with the rolled stainless-steel barrel, hard-chrome plated rod and a built-in piston magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special-order piston.
