The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X60SCM 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.
AirTAC built the MAC50X60SCM for compact, heavy pushing: a 50 mm bore over just 60 mm of stroke, with about 981 N at 0.5 MPa and 1374 N at 0.7 MPa on the extend side. The CM round-end back cover presents a plain round boss that takes a pivot pin, and the double acting design with a variable air cushion at both ends keeps the short stroke from hammering its own covers.
Construction follows the MA family recipe - stainless round barrel, rolled aluminium covers, hard-chrome plated rod - so it shrugs off the splash zones that eat painted minis. The magnet ships standard for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switching. For budgeting: treat about 589 N as the working force at 0.5 MPa, which supports roughly 50 kg in a vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, while the theoretical ceiling for this bore is about 200 kgf.

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.

| 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.

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.
Presses small bearings into housings on an assembly bench with up to 1374 N at 0.7 MPa.
Drives the tamping head of a small bagger, where about 589 N of working force settles product into the bag.
Clamps sheet steel against a welding table stop; the stainless barrel handles weld-spark and coolant splash.
Next to a 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) this is the step up; next to a 63 mm bore (1558 N) it is the compact alternative when 60 mm of stroke is all the room you have. A 60 mm stroke is standard, so there is no made-to-order wait. Mount via the CM round rear pivot, or bolt an FA flange, LB foot or SDB bracket to the body as the fixture demands. Because there is no internal lock, the rod creeps if supply pressure drops - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must stay exact.
Quick checklist
Expect 981 N of push and 881 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, or 1374 N and 1233 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak near 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at each end, takes 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of 40 um filtered air, survives 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, runs 30-800 mm/s, and connects via 1/4 inch ports with an M14x1.5 male thread. The 60 mm stroke is within the 500 mm standard limit, so no custom build is needed.
Yes. Every MAC50X60SCM leaves the factory with a piston magnet already installed, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches attach to the stainless barrel with no special-order piston - handy for confirming a clamp is fully home before the next machine step starts.
