The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X100SCAH is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm 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.
Rugged and simple, MAC63X100SCAH pairs the 63 mm bore's 1558 N push (1457 N pull) at 0.5 MPa with a 100 mm stroke in a riveted, round stainless body. Air works both directions - double acting - and the variable cushions at each end absorb the shock of heavy stops. Before ordering, confirm the H suffix against the current AirTAC datasheet, as it sits outside the standard CA / U / CM back-cover list.
Work to roughly 874 N of pull at 0.5 MPa when sizing - about 60 percent of the retract rating - and count on around 79 kg of vertical lift capability from the push side with a 2:1 margin. The corrosion-resistant barrel and hard-chrome rod suit foundries, washdown food cells and outdoor gates alike, and the standard magnet takes CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches as-is.

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 | 1559 N | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×100 | 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.
Pushes a roller gate across a warehouse dock; the 63 mm bore supplies the 935 N-class working push and the cushion damps the gate's final slam.
Cycles a compression jig in a materials lab; the 100 mm stroke accepts tall specimens and 2181 N push at 0.7 MPa covers coupons to a few hundred kgf.
Clamps glued panels on a joinery bench jig; the hard-chrome rod wipes clean of glue spatter and the tuned cushion seats the beam without jolt.
Sizing in both directions: the 50 mm bore cuts force to 981 N push at 0.5 MPa, while 63 mm is already the top of the MAC range - heavier duty calls for a bigger series. Port size is 1/4" and the male rod thread is M14x1.5. With 100 mm of stroke the rod is exposed to bending, so guide the load on rails instead of letting the cylinder take side thrust. The trailing H in the code is not among the listed CA / U / CM covers, so confirm its meaning from the datasheet before placing the order.
If a load must stay in place through a power loss, note that this cylinder drifts when de-energised - add a rod lock or pilot check valve rather than relying on the cushion.
Quick checklist
Yes: push 1558 N and pull 1457 N at 0.5 MPa; push 2181 N and pull 2040 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum about 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The pressure envelope is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, and speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
That suffix falls outside the standard CA pivot, U flat-end and CM round-end back-cover options, so confirm its exact meaning from the current AirTAC datasheet before ordering. The core build is unchanged: stainless barrel, hard-chrome rod, double-acting cushioned drive, and a standard magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
