The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X200SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 200mm 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.
At the top of the AirTAC cushioned MA range, this 63 mm bore turns shop air into real muscle: 1557.9 N of push at 0.5 MPa, rising to 2181 N at 0.7 MPa. MAC63X200SCM is double acting, so air drives the rod both out and back, and the variable air cushion at each end soaks up end-of-stroke shock when loads are heavy or cycles are fast. The stainless round barrel with its hard-chrome plated rod shrugs off mild corrosion and washdown, a genuine edge over painted-steel minis in damp or outdoor plants.
Run the numbers before sizing: at 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 935 N of actual work rather than the full 1557.9 N rating, which corresponds to lifting about 79 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The CM round-end back cover suits fixed bolted mounts without adapter blocks, and every unit ships with a built-in magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches snap on for stroke-end sensing. Working envelope: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-800 mm/s.

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.

MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (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.
The 1558 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps heavy steel weldments against stops through the 200 mm stroke, and the stainless barrel tolerates humid, spatter-laden shop air.
With about 79 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the cylinder raises die inserts or fixtures between a press and a roller table; cushioning softens the set-down.
Swinging heavy stainless lids on food-grade kettles - the round riveted barrel survives daily hose-down where painted mini cylinders corrode.
Right-sizing: the 50 mm bore of this family pushes 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa if that is enough - 63 mm is the biggest bore the cushioned MAC line makes. A standard MAC does not hold position when air drops or the valve centres; the piston drifts, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay parked. With 200 mm of stroke on a 16 mm rod, keep side loads off the rod or add external guiding - bending shortens seal life fast. Mount with FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bracket, I or Y knuckle on the rod, and let the built-in magnet feed CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for end-of-stroke signals.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1557.9 N and pulls 1457.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 2181 N push and 2040.3 N pull. Theoretical maximum is 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Ports are 1/4" on the 63 mm bore with a M14x1.5 rod thread, working pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
Yes - both ends carry variable air cushions. Back the needle screws fully off at first start-up, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke impact disappears at your cycle speed. The cushion only decelerates travel; it never locks the rod, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put on air loss.
