Airtac MA20X15SCA MA Series Stainless Steel Mini Pneumatic Cylinder

Airtac MA20X15SCA MA Series Stainless Steel Mini Pneumatic Cylinder

Model-specific summary: The Airtac MA20X15SCA is a compact double-acting MA Series mini cylinder with a 20 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, built-in magnet and CA swing-tail rear cover. The stainless steel barrel and short stroke make it suitable for compact machine mechanisms that need controlled linear movement and position sensing.

Key specifications

Construction and operating advantages

• High-precision stainless steel tube provides strength and corrosion resistance for general industrial environments.
• Front and rear covers use a riveted rolled connection with the barrel for a compact and reliable assembly.
• The profiled two-way piston seal has grease-retaining geometry for stable movement.
• A fixed front-cover bumper reduces impact when the cylinder changes direction.
• CA, U and CM rear-cover families support different pivoting and mounting arrangements.
• AirTAC specifies magnets across the MA/ MAC series; the sensor itself is selected separately.

Installation and commissioning

1. Confirm that the CA swing-tail orientation matches the machine pivot geometry and leaves clearance throughout the stroke.
2. Remove pipe debris before connection and use filtered air.
3. Avoid side loading: misalignment can bend the piston rod and damage its end thread.
4. Protect the cylinder from dust, moisture, weld spatter and freezing condensate.
5. Run an unloaded commissioning cycle before applying the production load.

Quick selection answer

MA20X15SCA is a double-acting mini pneumatic cylinder with a 20 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, magnetic piston and CA swing-tail rear cover.

Typical applications

Designed for compact packaging machinery, pick-and-place units, light clamping, indexing and short-stroke automation where installation space is limited.

Selection and compatibility notes

• Confirm available force at the actual working pressure, port thread, rear-cover orientation and compatible sensor before installation.
• Confirm the complete model code, installation space and operating conditions before purchase.
• Product selection must be verified against the machine load, speed, duty cycle and safety requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What is MA20X15SCA used for?

Designed for compact packaging machinery, pick-and-place units, light clamping, indexing and short-stroke automation where installation space is limited.

How does this model differ from related products?

Compared with an SC standard tie-rod cylinder, the MA mini cylinder uses a slimmer stainless steel barrel and is intended for lighter, more compact mechanisms.

What should be checked before ordering?

Check the model code, dimensions, operating conditions, mounting method and required accessories. Refer to the manufacturer catalog drawing for final engineering approval.
