The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X35SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 35mm 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.
Thirty-five millimetres of travel turns this 63 mm bore into a genuine short-stroke press: 1558 N pushing at 0.5 MPa, 2181 N when you feed it 0.7 MPa. The MAC63X35SCA is double acting with a variable air cushion either end, hung on a CA pivot back cover that lets the rod track a moving linkage. Keep the daily working force near 935 N - about 79 kg of vertical lift on a 2:1 margin - and the cylinder will outlive the machine around it.
Construction is the MA-family recipe done large: stainless tube rolled and riveted to aluminium end covers, a 20 um hard-chrome carbon-steel rod, and a two-way piston seal that carries its own grease film. Mild corrosion and washdown are non-events compared with painted-steel minis. The magnet is standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches drop straight on; ports are 1/4", rod thread M14x1.5, speed 30-800 mm/s.

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.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×35 | 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.
Swings a foundry chute gate through 35 mm; the CA eye follows the gate arm while the cushion damps each slam.
Drops clamped brackets off a welding table with 1558 N at 0.5 MPa - enough to clear locating tabs without a kick-off cam.
Presses lids onto 20 L test containers between batches; stainless surfaces shrug off the rinse-down in between.
If 35 mm is more travel than the task needs, a MAC63X20 saves dead space at the same 1558 N; if 628 N at 0.5 MPa is enough, a MAC40X35 costs less to run - 63 mm is the ceiling of the series at 317.7 kgf theoretical. Run it on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean, 40 um filtered air. A plain MAC will not hold position against gravity once air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for any load that must stay put; the CA pivot suits linkages, while FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot mounts adapt it to fixed frames.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 1558 N push, 1457 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 2181 N push, 2040 N pull. Theoretical maximum 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Size the real job at about 935 N of push at 0.5 MPa so the cylinder keeps reserve.
Back both needle screws fully off before the first stroke, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke knock disappears. With the variable air cushion set, speeds from 30-800 mm/s stay smooth even at 0.7 MPa loads, and the standard magnet plus CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches confirms position at each end.
