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.
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.
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.
| 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.

MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (double rod, 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.
Rotates a tote dumper through its dump arc; the 175 mm stroke covers the throw the pivot eye needs at the linkage.
Slides a divert gate across a broad warehouse conveyor lane where shorter 160 mm strokes fall just short.
Flips scrap off a CNC chip conveyor at cycle end; the cushion stops the arm cleanly instead of letting it slam home.
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
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.
