The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X15SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 15mm 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.
Short stroke, big force: with only 15 mm of travel the MAC63X15SCA puts out 1557.9 N push and 1457.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 2181.0 N at 0.7 MPa (317.7 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa). That is enough to stake, clamp or kick a part with a hit rather than a long push - around 935 N of usable work force once a sensible margin is kept, and it will lift about 79 kg vertically at a 2:1 ratio. Double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, running 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.
The CA pivot back cover bolts straight to a clevis or trunnion bracket, so the body can follow a swing arm without shimming. Construction is a riveted stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod and aluminium covers - no tie-rod bolts to slacken and no paint to flake in coolant mist. The magnet comes standard, so a CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switch reads both ends of the short stroke for cycle verification.

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.
Peens or marks stamped parts in a bench fixture; 2181.0 N at 0.7 MPa delivers the hit inside a 15 mm window.
The CA pivot lets the body rock with the clamp arm, holding sheet steel through tack welds with about 935 N of working force.
Folds a stubborn flap on a sealing head; the stainless barrel survives corrugate dust and morning washdown where painted bodies would bubble.
Compare sizes before committing: the 50 mm bore pushes 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa if this force class is oversize, while 63 mm is the top of the MAC range. Do not rely on the cylinder to keep a clamp shut - with no air the piston moves freely, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where the fixture must stay closed. The CA pivot cover pairs naturally with I and Y rod knuckles for swing arms; FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot mounts remain available. Ports 1/4", rod thread M14x1.5, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
The 63 mm bore gives 1557.9 N push and 1457.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 2181.0 N push and 2040.3 N pull at 0.7 MPa; the theoretical maximum is 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s with 1/4" ports.
No - every MAC ships with the magnet built in as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG reed or Hall switches drop straight onto the barrel. On a 15 mm stroke the two end positions sit close together, so set switch spacing carefully to avoid false signals.
