Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X180SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X180SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 180mm 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 MAC63X180SCA
Pivoting linkages are where the CA back cover earns its place. MAC63X180SCA puts a clevis-type pivot right in the round-end cover, so a yoke knuckle swings the rod through an arc while the Dia 63 piston delivers 1557.9 N of push and 1457.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa.
Double-acting air and variable cushions at each end mean you can run the 180 mm stroke fast - up to 800 mm/s - and still land the load softly on both stops. The rolled stainless tube and 20 um hard-chrome rod handle splash and humidity without paint to flake, and the standard-built magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches with no special piston. As a rule of thumb, treat about 935 N as the usable force at 0.5 MPa and size your mechanism around that.

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 MAC63X180SCA Is Used
Drum filler swing clamp
A yoke knuckle on the CA pivot cover swings in to grip 205 L drum rims with about 935 N of usable hold before the filler head descends.
Sack sewing head lift
Lowers and raises a 75 kg sewing head on a fertilizer bagging line; the 180 mm stroke matches the bag height window.
Recycling bale gate toggle
Drives a toggle linkage that ejects finished cardboard bales, converting the 1557.9 N push into a fast, snappy gate swing.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X180SCA the Right Cylinder?
The 50 mm bore manages 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa; step up to 63 only when the linkage needs the extra 580 N. The operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), so mid-range settings already deliver most of the thrust. Pivoted mounting means rod side-load is inevitable at the knuckle, so keep link geometry near perpendicular at mid-stroke. If the machine has no anchor for the swing, order the U flat-end or CM round-end back cover instead, or carry the body on an SDB pivot bracket. Position is not retained on air loss - a pilot check valve or rod lock takes care of hanging or clamped loads.
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 MAC63X180SCA FAQ
Expect 1557.9 N of push and 1457.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 2181.0 N and 2040.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical ceiling of the Dia 63 bore is 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 1/4" ports and M14x1.5 rod thread stay the same across all 180 mm stroke variants.
No - the magnet is standard in the MAC63X180SCA piston, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed switches drop straight onto the 180 mm stroke barrel without a special-order cylinder. Mount the switch anywhere along the stroke for mid-position signalling, and the same riveted stainless body that resists plant washdown keeps the assembly trouble-free.
