Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X160SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X160SCM 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 MAC63X160SCM
Round body, big push: the MAC63X160SCM puts 1558 N forward and 1457 N back at 0.5 MPa, with a variable air cushion at each end to take the sting out of end-of-stroke impact. Run it anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s and the cushion keeps fast cycles from hammering the aluminium covers. Read the rating vertically and the rod will manage about 159 kg of lift at full 0.5 MPa supply - a handy yardstick when matching part weights.
Stainless barrel plus a hard-chrome plated rod shrug off splash, condensation and daily rinse-down that destroy painted mini cylinders. The CM round-end back cover suits fixed bolting, and the magnet ships standard in every piston, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches drop on with no special order.

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 MAC63X160SCM Is Used
Dairy tray nesting press
Nests cheese vat lids or tray stacks in a washdown dairy; the stainless body tolerates the daily caustic rinse-down.
Case packer pusher
Throws filled cartons into transit cases on a packing line; 1558 N keeps push speed steady even against a tight case.
Knife-gate valve actuator
Rods a gate valve on a wastewater line; the chrome-plated 16 mm rod resists the damp, gritty atmosphere around the pit.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X160SCM the Right Cylinder?
Force steps down cleanly in this series: the 50 mm bore pushes 981 N at 0.5 MPa against this cylinder's 1558 N, and 63 mm is the largest bore offered. The round-end CM cover bolts flat to a machine plate for a fixed mount; FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets handle other layouts. The cushion is not a brake - vent the air and the rod moves, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock for any load left suspended.
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 MAC63X160SCM FAQ
Push 1558 N and pull 1457 N at 0.5 MPa; 2181 N push and 2040 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 318 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. It runs on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi), with 1/4 inch air ports.
The round-end CM back cover bolts directly to a machine plate where a fixed, centred mount is wanted, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets adapt it to other layouts. Because the piston magnet is standard, CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount onto the barrel for position feedback.
