Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X260SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X260SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 260mm 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 MAC63X260SCA
A range-topping 63 mm bore on AirTAC's riveted round-body mini platform, the MAC63X260SCA is double acting and carries a variable air cushion at both ends, so 260 mm of travel ends softly in each direction. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1557.9 N and pulls 1457.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 2181 N, placing it in the 317.7 kgf class of this series.
The stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod shrug off the damp and washdown that blister painted minis, a real edge in food and outdoor cells. Plan around 935 N - roughly 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa push - for dependable work, or about 79 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin. The magnet is already in the piston, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches drop straight on, and the CA pivot back cover takes a swing link without extra brackets.

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 MAC63X260SCA Is Used
Crateline lane changes
Swings a divider across a dairy bottling conveyor to reroute 20 kg crates; the 260 mm reach crosses the belt in one stroke and the cushion stops the arm without cracking crates.
Pallet-stack squaring
Pushes misaligned pallet stacks square before stretch-wrapping; 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa moves loaded timber pallets, and the CA pivot lets the arm float with the stack.
Case-flap tuck press
Folds and presses the bottom flaps of 400 mm cartons before taping; about 935 N of working force seats flaps cleanly at 30-800 mm/s cycle speeds.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X260SCA the Right Cylinder?
Smaller duties fit the 50 mm bore at 981 N push (0.5 MPa); once working loads pass about 600 N, step up to this 63 mm barrel, the largest the MA family offers. Note the MAC cannot park a load on its own - centred valve, no air, rod drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the arm must stay put. The CA pivot end suits swing mounts, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB bracket cover fixed frames; magnet and sensors are already on board. Air enters through 1/4 inch PT ports, and with 260 mm of stroke keep the load in guided slides so side forces never reach the 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 MAC63X260SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the piston pushes 1557.9 N and pulls 1457.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that becomes 2181 N push and 2040 N pull, with a theoretical 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs 30-800 mm/s on air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Needle screws at both covers meter exhaust to form a variable air cushion. On first start-up back them fully off, then close gradually until the 63 mm piston stops knocking; the cushion brakes the load but does not lock it - use a rod lock or check valve to hold position.
