Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X160SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X160SU 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 MAC63X160SU
A flat-ended U back cover and a 63 mm bore make the MAC63X160SU simple to bolt square against a machine face, where it delivers 1558 N forward and 1457 N return at 0.5 MPa. Double-acting air works the rod in both directions, and needle-screw cushions at each end dial out end-of-stroke bang. Leave a working margin and about 935 N of that thrust is realistically yours for the job.
There is no paint to flake here: a stainless barrel is rolled into the covers around a hard-chrome plated rod, so damp workshops and outdoor rigs do not chew it up. The piston magnet is included as standard equipment, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position 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.
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 MAC63X160SU Is Used
Web tensioner on a slitter
Loads a tension arm against moving film; the flat U-end bolts straight onto the machine side frame without adapters.
Special-machine slide drive
Drives a short slide on a purpose-built machine, with the dual cushion allowing confident cycling up to 800 mm/s.
Chemical drum lid press
Seats lids on 200 L drums before capping; the stainless barrel stands up to corrosive vapour around the filling line.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X160SU the Right Cylinder?
Step down to the 50 mm bore (981 N at 0.5 MPa) when 1558 N is overkill; 63 mm is the largest bore AirTAC makes in this cushioned mini series. Mounting flexibility comes from FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot options plus I and Y rod knuckles for the load attachment. Because nothing holds the piston once air is vented, add a rod lock or pilot check valve whenever the load must stay in place.
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 MAC63X160SU FAQ
Plan around 1558 N extend and 1457 N retract at 0.5 MPa, or 2181 N and 2040 N at 0.7 MPa; the 1.0 MPa theoretical limit is 318 kgf. The operating band is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof test and a 30-800 mm/s speed range.
The barrel is stainless steel rolled into the aluminium covers and the rod is hard-chrome plated to 20 um, so splash, condensation and routine rinsing cause little trouble. Avoid full immersion or aggressive solvents, and confirm chemical compatibility from the datasheet before deploying near strong agents.
