The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X65SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 65mm 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.
Short travel, big muscle: the MAC63X65SCA packs a 65 mm stroke into the 63 mm bore, the strongest cushioned mini cylinder AirTAC makes. Double acting, with air working on both faces of the piston, it delivers 1557.9 N of push and 1457.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (2181.0 N and 2040.3 N at 0.7 MPa) on air filtered to 40 um. Speeds from 30-800 mm/s are workable, and the variable air cushion at each end soaks up shock so fast, heavy cycles never hammer the covers.
The round stainless barrel, rolled aluminium covers and hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod stand up to washdown and humid plants far better than painted mini bodies. A magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount without special ordering. In vertical terms the 0.5 MPa push equals about 158 kgf, so lifting a 79 kg payload keeps a healthy 2:1 margin. The CA pivot back cover takes a swivelling attachment directly, and operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 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.

| -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.
Clamp steel brackets in a weld jig for 65 mm of approach and release, with 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa holding the part against weld distortion.
Stamp, emboss or mark date codes on aluminium tags; the 63 mm bore gives roughly 158 kgf of push without needing a full-size press.
Knock cartons off a conveyor end into a chute; the cushioned stops keep the ram from bottoming out during rapid 30-800 mm/s cycles.
Check the step either side before committing: the 50 mm bore gives 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa for lighter jobs, while Dia 63 is the ceiling of the cushioned family, so nothing larger exists here. If the load must hold when air drops or the valve centres, remember a plain MAC will drift - fit a rod lock or pilot check valve. For fixed frames add an FA flange or LB foot; the CA back cover already covers pivot mounting, and I or Y rod knuckles suit the M14x1.5 thread.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1557.9 N and pulls 1457.4 N, rising to 2181.0 N push and 2040.3 N pull at 0.7 MPa; theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa is 317.7 kgf. Air ports are 1/4 inch, the rod thread is M14x1.5 and the rod is 16 mm.
No. The magnet is built into the piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches strap onto the barrel and can be positioned anywhere along the 65 mm stroke straight from the box.
