The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X350SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 350mm 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.
When the cylinder hangs in an articulating linkage, the MAC63X350SCM solves the rear-end problem: a CM round-end cover that drops into a clevis or yield link while the 63 mm bore still pushes 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 2181.0 N at 0.7 MPa, double acting and cushioned both ways.
Nothing about the build changes - riveted stainless round barrel, aluminium covers, hard-chrome rod - so it shrugs off the damp and dusty corners that eat painted minis. Budget about 935 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa for the job, which lifts close to 79 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating span is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-800 mm/s, magnet included as standard for CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches.

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.
| 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.

| ×350 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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.
Pulls the release latch on a small bin tipper through a link arm, working with about 935 N at 0.5 MPa.
Opens a sand hopper gate on a foundry moulding line; the stainless barrel shrugs off constant abrasive dust.
Works inside a scissor linkage on a small trimming press, with both cushioned ends protecting the linkage from slam.
Check the downsize first: MAC50X350 manages 981.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, sufficient if your working load sits well under about 590 N; otherwise the 63 mm bore is the right call. Over 350 mm of travel, keep side loads off the rod with external guides and align the pin centres square to the bore axis. Fixed base instead of a pivot? Swap the CM cover for U or CA and bolt an FA flange or LB foot on. Position holding is not built in - with air off the piston drifts, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where the load must stay put.
Quick checklist
Push 1557.9 N and pull 1457.4 N at 0.5 MPa; 2181.0 N push and 2040.3 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 317.7 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Air enters via the 1/4" port with an M14x1.5 male rod thread.
Yes, whenever the cylinder pivots in a clevis-style link - it removes fabricated brackets from the design. It still carries the adjustable air cushion at both ends and the standard magnet, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches mount without a special piston.
