The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X650SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 650mm 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.
Six hundred fifty millimetres of stroke on a 63 mm bore puts the MAC63X650SCA in made-to-order territory, since the MA standard list ends at 500 mm. The finished cylinder is double acting with a variable cushion at both ends, good for 1557.9 N push and 1457.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa and 2181.0 N extend at 0.7 MPa.
Construction is the reason to pick this over a fabricated slide: a riveted stainless round barrel and hard-chrome plated rod take washdown, dust and outdoor exposure without paint flaking into the mechanism. In practice that means about 935 N of dependable working push at 0.5 MPa and roughly 79 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 safety margin. The standard-fit magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position feedback.

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.

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.
A 650 mm sweep clears a full layer of cartons off the palletizer table, using about 935 N of working push at 0.5 MPa.
The cylinder feeds steady tension into a long gravity take-up arm, with the cushion smoothing the last millimetres at each end.
Long 650 mm travel pulls hot racks out of a tunnel oven in one stroke, and the stainless barrel handles the humid heat.
One step down, the 40 mm bore manages only 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, so anything moving past about 377 N of working load belongs on this 63 mm barrel. Like every unbalanced double acting cylinder it slides freely the instant air is cut, so plan a pilot check valve or a hard stop wherever the load could roll or fall. Fit the CA pivot back cover to a clevis for alignment, or choose FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets instead; I and Y rod knuckles keep the load from twisting the M14x1.5 rod. Keep external guides under any long-stroke load.
Quick checklist
Extend: 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 2181.0 N at 0.7 MPa. Retract: 1457.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 2040.3 N at 0.7 MPa. Ceiling is 317.7 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. The 650 mm stroke is a custom build, ports are 1/4 inch, air is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
Back both cushion needle screws fully off before the first stroke, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke impact disappears at your working speed. Anywhere in the 30-800 mm/s band the cushion keeps the covers safe, and it never acts as a lock - the piston still moves if air is lost.
