The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X10SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 10mm 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.
Squeezing the largest cushioned mini bore into a 10 mm stroke, the MAC63X10SCM is a compact punch for clamping and short-jog moves on PT 1/4" air. It is double acting - air extends and retracts the rod - delivering 1557.9 N of push and 1457.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and up to 2181.0 N at 0.7 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed 30-800 mm/s leave wide tuning room.
Build quality is the round riveted MA style: stainless barrel, aluminium covers and a 16 mm chrome-plated rod, which resists washdown chemicals and damp workshops better than coated steel minis. Variable cushions at both ends take the bang out of rapid clamping - open the needle screws fully at start-up and close them gradually until the stop is quiet. Lift maths from the 0.5 MPa rating comes to about 159 kg dead-vertical, dropping to near 79 kg when a 2:1 safety factor is applied. The rounded CM cover hangs on a mounting pin for linkage clamps, and the magnet is standard for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

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. |
| ×10 | 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.
Drives a date-code stamp onto extruded profiles with a firm 10 mm hit; the cushion kills recoil so characters print crisp on every cycle.
Bends locator tabs on battery tray fixtures; 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa forms 1 mm steel tabs without dedicating a full press to the job.
Confirms a large casting is seated in its machining fixture, with an EMSG switch reporting the clamped position straight back to the PLC.
For a lighter 10 mm clamp the 32 mm bore (402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa) costs less; for more than 2181.0 N at 0.7 MPa this series tops out, so consider twin cylinders or a larger bore family. The drift warning applies here too: with no air or a centred valve the rod is free to slide, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock where a clamped part must remain secured. Hang the CM eye on a pin, or pick FA flange, LB foot and SDB hardware for fixed frames; the built-in magnet already supports switch sensing.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push 1557.9 N and pull 1457.4 N; at 0.7 MPa, push 2181.0 N and pull 2040.3 N; theoretical maximum 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-800 mm/s.
The barrel is high-precision stainless steel with aluminium-alloy covers rolled on and a 16 mm carbon-steel rod hard-chrome plated to 20 um, a mix that shrugs off mild corrosion and routine washdown. Thread options are PT, G and NPT.
