The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X600SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 600mm 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.
Long-travel 63 mm minis like the MAC63X600SCA are made to order - standard MA strokes top out at 500 mm, so the 600 mm barrel is cut and sealed to your spec. Once running it behaves as a full double acting cylinder with a variable air cushion at each end, pushing 1557.9 N and pulling 1457.4 N at 0.5 MPa across that 600 mm of travel.
Over a span this long the riveted stainless barrel earns its keep: it resists corrosion along exposed runs that painted minis cannot, and the hard-chrome 16 mm rod stays smooth. Work the numbers before ordering - about 935 N of real push at 0.5 MPa, or near 79 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Magnets come standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches fit out of the box, and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).

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. |
| ×600 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |

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.
About 935 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa slides a 400 kg die cart along a level rail shuttle between two press stations.
A 600 mm throw swings a divert gate across a 500 mm belt, and the variable cushion damps the gate as it reaches the frame.
Long 600 mm travel indexes heavy kiln cars into a shuttle kiln at low speed, with 2181.0 N available on extend at 0.7 MPa.
A 50 mm bore MAC would save money but delivers only 981.3 N push at 0.5 MPa - if the load on your 600 mm travel needs more than roughly 589 N of usable force, the 63 mm bore is the right call. Note that the cylinder drifts when the valve centres or air drops; over a long rod that drift is very visible, so add a pilot check valve or mechanical stop. Side load is the real enemy on long strokes - guide the load externally rather than hanging weight on the M14x1.5 rod thread. If cushioning is needed part-way along the travel instead of at the ends, ask about the MACJ adjustable variant. CA pivot back cover, plus FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets, covers the mounting options.
Quick checklist
Extend force is 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 2181.0 N at 0.7 MPa; retract figures are 1457.4 N and 2040.3 N at the same pressures. At 1.0 MPa theoretical force peaks at 317.7 kgf. The 600 mm stroke is built to order, pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, and the port is 1/4 inch.
The magnet is a standard part of every MAC piston, not a paid option, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG AirTAC switches mount straight onto the stainless barrel for end-of-stroke signalling along the full 600 mm travel.
