The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X60SU 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.
Close to a 100 kg push rating in mini-cylinder form: this 50 mm bore round-body unit from AirTAC pushes 981.3 N and pulls 880.8 N at 0.5 MPa, stepping up to 1373.8 N push at 0.7 MPa with a theoretical peak of 200.1 kgf. The 60 mm stroke suits short work moves where footprint matters more than travel.
Air drives the rod in both directions - it is double acting - and a variable air cushion at each end lets you bleed off end-of-stroke shock by turning the needle screws. The stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod shrug off washdown and humidity, and because the magnet ships as standard, CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clip straight on. Plan for about 589 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa and you keep a comfortable 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.
| 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.

|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×60 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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.
The 981.3 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium weldments in a small welding jig, with the flat-end U cover bolted flat to the fixture plate.
A 60 mm stroke kicks cartons off a conveyor lane at up to 800 mm/s, with the dual air cushion absorbing each end-of-stroke hit.
Stainless barrel and hard-chrome rod tolerate routine wipe-downs in a bottling pilot line where painted minis corrode.
At 981.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, a 40 mm bore (628.3 N) will not match this force class, while the 63 mm bore (1557.9 N) is the step up if you need more. The rod retracts only under air - if power is lost the piston drifts, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve when a load must stay put. The U flat-end cover fixes the body directly; bolt on FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets if the framing calls for them, with PT (blank), G or NPT thread options.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.3 N and pulls 880.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 1373.8 N and pull to 1233.1 N. The theoretical maximum is 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, runs 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air, with proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Needle screws at both ends give a variable air cushion - back them off for first runs, then close gradually. The magnet is built into the piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount directly for end-position sensing.
