Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X580SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X580SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 580mm 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 MAC50X580SCA
Long-travel jobs call for the MAC50X580SCA: a 580 mm stroke that runs past the 500 mm standard ceiling of the 50 mm bore, so AirTAC builds it to order. Output matches the rest of the cushioned round-body family - 981 N push and 881 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with needle-screw air cushions at both ends tuning each stop across 30-800 mm/s travel.
In service, plan around 589 N of genuine working force at 0.5 MPa rather than the headline rating; on a vertical axis that still lifts about 50 kg with the 100 kg theoretical figure halved for margin. The rolled stainless barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod cope with splash and humidity, and the standard piston magnet lets CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches report position anywhere along the travel.

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 MAC50X580SCA Is Used
Glue-lane extension arm
Carrying a nozzle carriage across a 580 mm panel on a woodworking line, with the CA pivot eye absorbing minor frame misalignment.
Stacker reject pusher
Pushing rejected cartons off a warehouse stacker conveyor takes under 200 N, a small fraction of the 981 N available at 0.5 MPa.
Test rig lift gantry
Raising a 45 kg fixture on a materials test gantry sits inside the 50 kg vertical figure this bore achieves at 0.5 MPa with margin.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X580SCA the Right Cylinder?
Between the 628 N of a 40 mm bore and the 1558 N of a 63 mm at 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm unit carries mid-range loads across a long reach. Over 580 mm the 16 mm rod is more exposed to side load - guide the load externally and keep radial force off the M14x1.5 rod thread. Free air means free travel: holding position calls for a rod lock or pilot check valve, never the cushion. CA pivot, FA flange, LB foot or SDB mountings; 1/4" ports, PT thread standard, G and NPT order options.
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 MAC50X580SCA FAQ
Bore diameter sets them, not stroke: 981 N forward and 881 N return at 0.5 MPa; 1374 N forward and 1233 N return at 0.7 MPa; roughly 200 kgf theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa. Rod 16 mm with M14x1.5 thread, ports 1/4".
Standard 50 mm bores stop at 500 mm; anything beyond is built to order by AirTAC. The spec stays the same otherwise: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply, 30-800 mm/s speed, and dual adjustable air cushions at both ends.
