The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC50X700SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 700mm 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 MAC with a 700 mm stroke and CA pivot back cover, this AirTAC round-body mini cylinder is double acting - air extends the rod and retracts it - and both ends carry a variable air cushion you tune with the needle screws. At 0.5 MPa it develops 981.3 N on extension and 880.8 N on retraction; at 0.7 MPa push climbs to 1373.8 N, with a theoretical ceiling of 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The stainless barrel and 20 um hard-chrome plated rod laugh at washdown and damp plant air where painted mini cylinders rust through. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special piston. Derate to roughly 589 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa and this long-reach cylinder gates, clamps or ejects heavy tooling comfortably across its made-to-order 700 mm reach.

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.
700 mm of made-to-order travel sweeps pallets between lanes while 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa keeps the pusher crisp; end cushions stop the ram hard against heavy loads.
The long 700 mm reach clears deep stamping dies and pushes formed shells free, with 1373.8 N at 0.7 MPa available when draw lube drags on the part.
The CA pivot cover lets the cylinder body angle with the arm as it extends, so no extra brackets are needed to track the swing path over 700 mm.
For lighter work, a 40 mm bore MAC delivers 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa; for heavier duties the 63 mm bore gives 1557.9 N. Note that this cylinder will not hold its position if air is lost or the valve centres - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. The CA pivot back cover teams with SDB pivot brackets, FA flange or LB foot mounts, and the built-in magnet takes CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches as standard. A 700 mm stroke demands clean external guidance: keep side loads off the 16 mm rod to avoid bending and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the push is 981.3 N and the pull 880.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 1373.8 N and pull to 1233.1 N. Theoretical maximum is 200.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs double acting with a variable cushion at both ends, on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air at 30-800 mm/s, with a 1/4 inch port.
The stainless round barrel and hard-chrome plated rod resist washdown and corrosion - valuable across a long exposed stroke in wet or outdoor plants. The CA pivot back cover lets the cylinder swing on clevis or trunnion mounts without extra brackets, and the standard built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for end-of-stroke signalling.
