Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X160SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X160SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X160SCA
Meet the biggest bore in AirTAC's cushioned mini range: the 63 mm MAC63X160SCA extends with 1558 N and retracts with 1457 N at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 2181 N at 0.7 MPa. Air drives the rod both ways (double acting) and a variable cushion sits at each end, so faster cycles or heavier loads stop without hammering the covers. Once a sensible margin is reserved, roughly 935 N of the rating is left for real work - and on vertical lifts that works out to about 79 kg at a 2:1 factor.
The body is a stainless barrel rolled onto aluminium covers with a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod, an edge over painted minis in damp, washed-down or outdoor spots. The CA back cover adds a pivot eye for swinging links, and the piston magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight on.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X160SCA Is Used
Pallet indexing stop
The CA pivot eye swings a stop blade into the pallet path; 1558 N at 0.5 MPa holds loaded pallets square against the backstop.
Welding jig swing clamp
Clamps sheet steel into an automotive fixture; the pivot mount tracks small misalignment while the variable cushion ends the clamp stroke softly.
Small-parts elevator latch
Lifts trays up a gate tower on a packaging line; at a 2:1 margin the rod still manages about 79 kg of vertical load.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X160SCA the Right Cylinder?
At 63 mm this is the top of the cushioned MAC range; if 1558 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 50 mm bore still delivers 981 N. The CA pivot cover swings link arms and clamps without extra brackets, while FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot mounts cover fixed positions, and the standard magnet takes CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for end-of-stroke signalling. One caution: with air removed the rod drifts freely, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where the load must stay extended.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X160SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it extends with 1558 N and retracts with 1457 N; at 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 2181 N and 2040 N, with a theoretical peak of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply is filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, ports 1/4 inch, rod thread M14x1.5.
Back both cushion needle screws off before first run, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke knock disappears; the cushion is adjustable, not a fixed bumper. The piston magnet is built in as standard, so a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch senses end positions without special-ordering the cylinder.
