The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X100SCM 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.
Top of the cushioned MA range, the MAC63X100SCM combines a 63 mm bore with a 100 mm stroke, double-acting air power and a variable cushion at each end, breathing through PT 1/4" ports. At 0.5 MPa the piston turns out 1557.9 N of push and 1457.4 N of pull; at 0.7 MPa that climbs to 2181.0 N and 2040.3 N, with 317.7 kgf as the theoretical maximum. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and cycle speeds run from 30 to 800 mm/s.
Construction is a stainless-steel round barrel with rolled aluminium covers and a 16 mm hard-chrome rod, a body that stands up to washdown and humid plant air where painted minis corrode. For sizing, treat roughly 935 N - about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push - as the practical working force, or count on it lifting around 79 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. The CM round-end back cover takes a pivot pin directly, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches without ordering a special piston.

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 | 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.

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.
Rolls loaded pallets off a packaging conveyor at end of line - 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa clears a heavy pallet across low-friction rollers without stalling.
Tilts full swarf bins on a machining cell gantry; the 100 mm stroke drives the linkage through the tipping arc while the cushion lands the bin soft on the dock.
Clamps steel tube sections into a robotic welding jig, where a realistic working force near 935 N holds parts tight through spatter-heavy production runs.
Step down to the 50 mm bore (981.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) if the load is lighter; 63 mm is the biggest cushioned mini bore in this series, so two cylinders in parallel is the route when you need more than 2181.0 N. Keep in mind that when the valve centres or air is lost the rod simply drifts - a rod lock or pilot check valve is the fix where a load must be held. Mount via the CM round-end pivot, or bolt on an FA flange, LB foot or SDB bracket; over the 100 mm stroke keep side load low to protect the 16 mm rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1557.9 N and pulls 1457.4 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 2181.0 N and pull 2040.3 N. The theoretical maximum is 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and rod speed covers 30-800 mm/s.
Yes - every unit ships with a built-in magnet as standard, so CMSG reed, DMSG or EMSG switches clip onto the stainless barrel and report end-of-stroke with no special piston order.
