Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X600SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X600SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 600mm 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 MAC50X600SCA
Where a slide or gate needs 600 mm of travel, the MAC50X600SCA delivers it as a made-to-order stroke, since the standard MAC range for this bore ends at 500 mm. Output stays in the 50 mm force class: 981 N push and 881 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, with 200 kgf as the theoretical peak. Double-acting air and a variable cushion at each end mean the needle screws can be opened gradually until the gate stops without a bang.
The CA pivot back cover pairs with an SDB bracket or LB foot to suit swinging or fixed frames. Budget about 589 N for continuous work, enough to raise a 50 kg flap vertically at a 2:1 margin. With no paint to chip and a hard-chromed rod, the riveted stainless body keeps sealing in dusty yards and wet wash areas, and the standard magnet reads position through CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches along the full 600 mm.

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 MAC50X600SCA Is Used
Sliding kiln-car door drive
Slides a heavy kiln-car door across a furnace mouth; sizing to 589 N of working thrust keeps the drive moving the door even with track grit adding drag.
Filler counterweight lift
Raises a counterweighted filler bowl guard of roughly 50 kg through 600 mm, with the cushions easing the guard onto its top stop at the end of every opening.
Laminate press sheet ejector
Pushes wide laminate sheets off the press bed onto an out-feed table, the long stroke clearing the full sheet width in one move at up to 800 mm/s.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X600SCA the Right Cylinder?
Lighter doors may not need this bore: a 40 mm cylinder gives 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while heavier counterweighted gates call for 63 mm at 1558 N push and 1457 N pull. Over 600 mm the rod should not be asked to carry side load - run the gate on its own rollers or slides and let the cylinder push only. When air is cut the rod moves with the load, so a rod lock or pilot check valve is the answer for dwell under pressure. Ports are 1/4 in.; the rod carries an M14x1.5 male thread for I or Y knuckles.
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 MAC50X600SCA FAQ
Push 981.3 N and pull 880.8 N at 0.5 MPa; push 1373.8 N and pull 1233.1 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Continuous duty should sit near 589 N, about six tenths of the base push figure.
No. The MAC is double acting with no spring and no internal lock, so a failed supply or a centred valve lets the rod drift with the load. Fit a rod lock cylinder or a pilot-operated check valve in the lines where the gate must stay put, and treat the air cushion as shock control only, never as a brake.
