Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X175SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X175SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 175mm 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 MAC63X175SCA
Stroke is the headline: the MAC63X175SCA gives 175 mm of travel on a 63 mm cushioned mini that still extends with 1558 N and retracts with 1457 N at 0.5 MPa. Double-acting air plus a variable cushion at both ends lets the long throw run quickly and stop cleanly instead of slamming. On vertical duties, half the rating is about 79 kg of safe lift at a 2:1 factor - useful when the rod carries real part weight.
The SCA build pairs a CA pivot back cover with the standard built-in magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches report end positions from the first cycle. A stainless barrel rolled onto aluminium covers around a hard-chrome plated rod keeps corrosion off the menu; if the application later demands a double rod, the MACD version of this same series is the natural upgrade.

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 MAC63X175SCA Is Used
Tote tipper arm
Rotates a tote dumper through its dump arc; the 175 mm stroke covers the throw the pivot eye needs at the linkage.
Wide-lane divert gate
Slides a divert gate across a broad warehouse conveyor lane where shorter 160 mm strokes fall just short.
Chip conveyor kicker
Flips scrap off a CNC chip conveyor at cycle end; the cushion stops the arm cleanly instead of letting it slam home.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X175SCA the Right Cylinder?
A 175 mm stroke means side loads matter more: guide the load in external bushings or a slide, since the 16 mm rod alone will bend if pushed sideways at full extension. Force-wise, the 50 mm bore offers 981 N at 0.5 MPa if 1558 N is more than needed, and 63 mm is the ceiling of this series. The pivot CA cover swings link arms without added hardware; when air is vented the rod is free to move, so a rod lock or pilot check valve is the answer for loads that must hold position.
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 MAC63X175SCA FAQ
1558 N forward and 1457 N back at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 2181 N and 2040 N at 0.7 MPa, with 318 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), ports are 1/4 inch, the male rod thread is M14x1.5, and speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
Any long stroke is more sensitive to side load, so guide the load in a slide or external bushing rather than cantilevering it off the rod, and check alignment before cycling at full speed. The built-in magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can confirm gate-open and gate-closed positions.
