Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X500SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X500SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 500mm 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 MAC63X500SCA
The 500 mm stroke of the MAC63X500SCA is the longest standard travel bore 63 offers - no made-to-order barrel needed. Double acting with adjustable air cushioning at both ends, it delivers 1557.9 N of push and 1457.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa across the full half-metre.
Two details make long travel practical here: the rolled stainless barrel keeps the 20 um hard-chrome rod running true over the full 500 mm, and the CA pivot cover carries linkage loads without adapter brackets. For sizing, count on about 935 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which translates to roughly 79 kg of vertical lift on a 2:1 safety margin.

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 MAC63X500SCA Is Used
Vertical stacker lift in a pick module
Lifting a 65 kg tote stack a full half metre in a warehouse pick module draws about 638 N, leaving ample headroom under the 935 N working push of this cylinder.
Long-throw paper-roll pusher at a winder
Rolling 1.5 m paper cores off a winder rail needs the whole 500 mm; the CA pivot swings the pusher arm and the cushion keeps heavy cores from crashing into the backstop.
Sluice gate actuator at a treatment plant
Constantly wet concrete channels corrode painted bodies fast; the stainless MAC drives a small sluice gate through 500 mm with 1557.9 N available at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X500SCA the Right Cylinder?
Downsize to bore 50 (981.3 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter duty; there is no larger bore in this cushioned family. Over half a metre of stroke the 16 mm rod is exposed to buckling and side load, so run the load in external guides rather than letting the rod carry lateral force. The piston will coast when the valve is centred - the cushion slows the last millimetres but never locks the rod - so specify a rod lock or check valve for a held position. The magnet is standard, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; LB foot, FA flange and SDB pivot mounts complete the installation kit.
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 MAC63X500SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: push 1557.9 N, pull 1457.4 N. At 0.7 MPa: push 2181.0 N, pull 2040.3 N. Theoretical maximum 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) on 40 um filtered air, 30-800 mm/s, with 1/4" ports and an M14x1.5 male rod thread.
No - the rolled stainless barrel and 20 um hard-chrome plated rod survive washdown, humidity and outdoor exposure that peel painted mini cylinders, and the riveted covers keep the seal tight for the life of the 500 mm barrel. The smooth round body also leaves no exposed fasteners to work loose in wet or dusty areas.
