The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X600SU 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.
A 50 mm bore pushing 600 mm of travel, the MAC50X600SU delivers about 981 N at 0.5 MPa and 1374 N at 0.7 MPa on extend, with a U flat-end back cover for a fixed rear mounting. Like every MAC, it is double acting with a variable air cushion at each end, so needle screws let you soften the landing when the rod carries a heavy load at speed.
Because 600 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard ceiling for this bore, the cylinder is made to order rather than stocked. The riveted stainless barrel stands up to washdown and outdoor damp where painted minis rust, and the hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod resists scoring over long strokes. Halving the 981 N extend force leaves around 589 N for real work, and on a vertical axis that is about 50 kg of lift with a 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.

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.
Slides a heavy refractory kiln door along its track, using around 589 N of practical extend force at 0.5 MPa.
Ejects stored pallets from the back of a deep gravity rack lane with 1374 N of push at 0.7 MPa.
Feeds 600 mm of stock into a cut-off saw, with feed speed set anywhere in the 30-800 mm/s band.
Sizing check: a 40 mm bore gives 628 N at 0.5 MPa and a 63 mm bore gives 1558 N, so this 50 mm bore covers jobs between roughly 60 and 100 kg of lift. The U flat-end rear suits fixed mounts, or add an FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bracket; CA and CM pivoting covers exist if a swinging link is the plan. Keep side load off the 16 mm rod across the 600 mm travel and support long tooling with a guide. If the application must hold a load with the valve centred, fit a rod lock or pilot check valve, because the piston drifts freely once air pressure is gone.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa expect 981 N extending and 880 N retracting; at 0.7 MPa those climb to 1374 N and 1233 N. The bore's theoretical ceiling is roughly 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa supply. The cylinder is double acting with adjustable air cushions at each end, works on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, stands 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, spans 30-800 mm/s, and carries 1/4 inch ports with an M14x1.5 male rod thread. Because 600 mm beats the 500 mm standard ceiling, order it as a made-to-order stroke.
Both ends carry a variable air cushion. Back the cushion needle screws fully open before the first run, then close them gradually until the end-of-stroke knock disappears; this protects the aluminium covers when the rod moves heavy loads at up to 800 mm/s.
