The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X450SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 450mm 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.
Flat, flush and simple - the MAC63X450SU pairs a 450 mm stroke and bore 63 muscle with a U flat-end back cover that bolts square to machine plates. Double acting with a variable air cushion at each end, it develops 1557.9 N of push and 1457.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa.
Washdown and damp shops are where the riveted stainless barrel earns its keep; the 20 um hard-chrome carbon-steel rod resists scoring and rust far better than painted aluminium minis. Budget for about 935 N of real working push at 0.5 MPa - enough to raise a 79 kg load vertically with a 2:1 margin - and dial end-of-stroke shock out with the cushion needle screws.

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.

|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×450 | 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.
Scrap slug ejection under a heavy press needs a flush flat mount; the U cover bolts straight to the die shoe and 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa clears stubborn offcuts on the 450 mm return stroke.
Damp cold-store air kills painted cylinders; the stainless MAC barrel raises a 75 kg pallet stop gate through 450 mm while keeping a 2:1 margin on its 79 kg vertical lift figure.
A test lab consolidates fresh concrete specimens in 450 mm lifts; the flat-end cover clamps to the test frame and the adjustable cushion settles the ram gently at the bottom of each stroke.
Step down to bore 50 (981.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) when the load is lighter; bore 63 is the strongest MAC available, so nothing larger exists in this series. Because air on both sides is the only thing positioning the piston, a centred valve lets the rod drift under its own load - fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where the 450 mm stroke must hold position. The flat-end U cover sits flush against brackets, the magnet suits CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches as standard, and at this length a guided load is essential to protect the 16 mm rod from side forces.
Quick checklist
Push is 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 2181.0 N at 0.7 MPa; pull is 1457.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 2040.3 N at 0.7 MPa. Theoretical maximum is 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of 40 um filtered air, 1/4" ports, M14x1.5 rod thread, speed 30-800 mm/s.
The flat-end U cover presents a clean square face for plate or bracket bolting without adapters, while SDB pivot or FA flange mounts handle other frames. The magnet is installed as standard on every MA-series piston, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount anywhere along the tube for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signals.
