The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X25SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 25mm 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.
A pivoting eye at the back changes everything: the MAC63X25SCA hangs its 63 mm bore from a CA back cover, so the 1558 N push at 0.5 MPa follows the linkage instead of fighting it. Double acting with variable air cushions at both ends, this 25 mm stroke lifts loads out and sets them down without hammering the covers. For sizing, figure on about 935 N of dependable working force at 0.5 MPa - roughly 79 kg of straight-up lift once you keep a 2:1 margin.
Underneath, the build is classic round-body MAC: a stainless barrel rolled and riveted onto aluminium covers with a 16 mm hard-chrome plated rod inside, an arrangement that outlasts painted-steel minis in outdoor or food-plant air. The magnet is factory-fitted, never a paid option, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position switches clip straight on. Air enters through 1/4" ports, the rod carries an M14x1.5 thread, and speed runs 30-800 mm/s across the stroke.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

The CA eye pivots through the scissor geometry while 1558 N at 0.5 MPa raises tooling carts on assembly floors.
25 mm of travel cracks open kettle lids in food plants; the stainless barrel laughs at steam and caustic rinse.
Kicks stamped parts off the die, and the cushions absorb the return so the linkage is not slammed at stroke end.
Between a MAC50X25 pushing 981 N at 0.5 MPa and this 63 mm bore, the jump is over 500 N - choose by load, not habit, since 63 mm is the top of the range at 317.7 kgf theoretical. Supply it 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of air filtered to 40 um. Remember a plain MAC drifts when the valve centres; a pilot check valve or rod lock is the fix for suspended loads. If the machine wants fixed mounting rather than a pivot, swap the code to a CM or U back cover instead.
Quick checklist
Push at 0.5 MPa is 1558 N and pull is 1457 N; at 0.7 MPa expect 2181 N push and 2040 N pull. The theoretical peak is 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. In practice, plan circuits around roughly 935 N of working push at 0.5 MPa.
A built-in pivot at the rear, so the cylinder swings inside a linkage without extra clevis brackets. It rides on the standard MAC construction - riveted stainless barrel, hard-chrome plated rod, aluminium covers - and because the magnet comes fitted, CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches give position feedback without ordering a special piston.
