Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X280SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X280SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 280mm 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 MAC63X280SCA
Washdown lines and outdoor frames are home ground for the MAC63X280SCA: a 63 mm stainless round barrel with a 280 mm stroke, double acting, cushioned variably at both ends. The figures read 1557.9 N push and 1457.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 2181 N against 2040 N at 0.7 MPa - the strongest force class this series offers.
A 20 um hard-chrome plate on the 16 mm rod keeps rust off the sliding surface where painted minis pit within months. For sizing, treat about 935 N as the dependable share of the 0.5 MPa push; the balance covers friction and supply dips, or think of it as roughly 79 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin. A CA pivot cover is fitted as standard and the built-in magnet pairs with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors from day one.

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 MAC63X280SCA Is Used
Can-line reject pusher
Knocks dented cans off a checkweigher belt into a bin; 1557.9 N is far above what a light can needs, so the stroke stays crisp even at 800 mm/s.
Reactor sampling ram
Drives a sampling lance into a chemical mixing vessel; the stainless body resists acid splash that would pit a painted housing within a season.
Stamping-press ejector
Lifts formed brackets out of a stamping die on the return stroke; sized with roughly 79 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin for heavier parts.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X280SCA the Right Cylinder?
Drop to the 50 mm bore (981 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter loads and shorter cycles; this 63 mm model is the strongest and final step in the range. When the solenoid centres, air pressure is gone and the piston creeps with the load - a rod lock or pilot check valve is the fix for held positions. FA flange and LB foot mounts suit rigid frames, the SDB pivot bracket handles swinging frames, and the CA back cover already on the cylinder connects to links; CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches read the fitted magnet. At 280 mm stroke, align guides carefully so side loads never reach the chrome 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 MAC63X280SCA FAQ
Push at 0.5 MPa is 1557.9 N, pull 1457.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it is 2181 N push and 2040 N pull, topping out at a theoretical 317.7 kgf when 1.0 MPa is applied. Working pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
Better than painted minis. The barrel is stainless steel, the aluminium covers are rolled on in a sealed packing structure, and the 16 mm carbon-steel rod carries 20 um of hard chrome, so mist, rain and mild chemicals never reach the working surfaces.
