Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X230SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X230SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 230mm 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 MAC63X230SCA
Pivot duty is what the MAC63X230SCA is built for: the CA back cover swings on a pin so the cylinder can follow a lever or clamp arm through its arc. Behind that pin sits a 63 mm bore - the largest in AirTAC's MA round-body range - pushing 1558 N and pulling 1457 N at 0.5 MPa, double acting, with a variable air cushion softening each end of the 230 mm stroke.
On paper the rod can raise about 158 kg vertically; keep a 2:1 margin and call it 79 kg of honest lift when matching real part weights. The rolled-on stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod take washdown mist, outdoor rain and coastal air in stride, and the magnet comes built in, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount with no special-order piston.

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 MAC63X230SCA Is Used
Swing clamp on a transfer-line fixture
Pivoting from the CA cover, the cylinder clamps machining fixtures through a 230 mm lever arc with 1558 N at 0.5 MPa.
Sluice gate lever actuator
Drives the lever arm of a wastewater plant sluice gate, sized so about 935 N of working force moves the gate reliably.
Case turner on a palletizer infeed
A pivot-mounted arm tips cartons into the layer pattern; the built-in magnet feeds end-of-rotation signals to CMSG or DMSG switches.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X230SCA the Right Cylinder?
Against the 50 mm bore's 981 N push at 0.5 MPa this cylinder carries roughly 60 percent more force, and since 63 mm tops the range, more capacity means pairing two cylinders. Let the CA pivot swing freely in line with the load; for fixed frames the U flat-end or CM round-end cover is the better pick, and FA, LB or SDB mounts slot in as needed. Do not expect the air charge to park the rod - on valve centre a suspended load will sink - so fit a pilot check valve or rod lock for retention. Over 230 mm of stroke, align the thrust axis and keep lateral loads off the 16 mm chromed rod.
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 MAC63X230SCA FAQ
0.5 MPa gives 1558 N push and 1457 N pull; 0.7 MPa raises that to 2181 N push and 2040 N pull; the 1.0 MPa theoretical maximum is 317.7 kgf. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Yes. Every MAC cylinder leaves the factory with a magnet in the piston, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switch models clamp onto the stainless barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signalling without ordering a special piston.
