Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X60SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X60SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 60mm 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 MAC50X60SCA
Short travel with a pivoting rear, the MAC50X60SCA puts about 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa behind a 60 mm stroke, and its CA pivot back cover bolts straight to a swinging link without a separate bracket. Air drives the rod both ways - double acting - and a variable air cushion at each end absorbs the shock when the stroke bottoms out under load.
The body is a rolled stainless-steel barrel with aluminium covers and a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod, a combination that survives washdown corners and humid plants where painted cylinders blister. A magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches read position without special ordering. In round numbers, the 981 N rating means about 589 N is a sensible working force, and vertically that is roughly 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.
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 MAC50X60SCA Is Used
Mixing vat lid clamp
Pulls a swing clamp closed on a food-grade mixing vat lid; the stainless barrel tolerates daily hose-down.
Toggle link press
Drives the power link of a small toggle press, delivering about 1374 N at 0.7 MPa near the bottom of stroke.
Lab tilt fixture
Tips a 50 kg test fixture on a materials test rig, matching the practical vertical lift of this bore with margin.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
At 60 mm the stroke sits well inside the 500 mm standard range, so it ships as a catalogue item. Step down to a 40 mm bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamps or up to a 63 mm bore (1558 N) for presses; the 50 mm class sits squarely in the middle. The CA pivot rear plus FA flange, LB foot or SDB bracket options cover most fixtures, and I or Y rod knuckles suit pivoting tooling. Note the rod will not hold position on lost air - a pilot check valve or rod lock is the fix when a clamp must stay closed.
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 MAC50X60SCA FAQ
Push is 981 N at 0.5 MPa and 1374 N at 0.7 MPa; pull is 881 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 1233 N at 0.7 MPa. Maximum theoretical output is about 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-800 mm/s, 1/4 inch ports and an M14x1.5 rod thread, all double acting with variable cushions at both ends. The 60 mm stroke is inside the standard 500 mm range for this bore.
Its rear pivot eye lets the whole cylinder swing with a lever, clamp arm or linkage instead of fighting side load. Fixed setups can instead take an FA flange, LB foot or SDB bracket, and I or Y rod knuckles suit pivoting tooling at the rod end. The standard magnet means CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches report open and closed positions without special ordering.
