The AirTAC Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA32X100SCA is a genuine double acting standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 100mm stroke, PT/G air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Around the machine frame this 32 mm bore MA piston puts out 402 N of push and 345.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 563 N at 0.7 MPa, all inside a compact round body that slips into gaps a profile tube never could. Air works the piston in both directions since the series is fully double acting, and the 12 mm hard-chrome plated rod runs through a 1/8" PT port on every 32 mm unit. Construction is a stainless-steel barrel with aluminium-alloy covers rolled and riveted onto the tube, so the sealed joint tolerates washdown spray and mildly corrosive spots far better than painted-steel minis. Fixed bumper pads soften the stroke ends - they decelerate the piston but are not adjustable air cushions. For sizing, count on roughly 241 N of real working effort at 0.5 MPa and expect about 20 kg of vertical lifting with a 2:1 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.

| 0.7 MPa | 0 N | 0 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 0 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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).

The 402 N push at 0.5 MPa slides a loaded carton tray off a transfer plate at mid stroke, and the stainless barrel shrugs off the grease and crumbs around the wrapper station.
Double-acting travel kicks formed brass bushings clear of the die nest on each press cycle, with bumper pads taking the shock at the end of the 100 mm kick.
About 20 kg of vertical lifting capacity with margin flips a deflector arm between two lanes, and the riveted round body survives the periodic hose-down the filler area gets.
When a 25 mm MA falls short of the job with its 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm size almost doubles the output; if loads keep growing toward 628 N, the 40 mm bore is the next step. Remember the piston simply drifts once the valve centres or supply pressure drops, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock wherever the load must stay parked. The CA code here specifies a pivoting back cover, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB bracket options cover fixed-base installations; the magnet comes built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clamp on without any special piston order. At the 100 mm stroke, keep side loads off the rod and guide the workpiece externally to protect the 12 mm shaft.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Feed it air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and rod speed can run anywhere from 30-800 mm/s.
Yes - the magnet sits in the piston as standard equipment on every MA series unit, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clamp straight onto the barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signalling. No special-order piston or factory fit-out is needed, and the CA pivot back cover lets the rod eye swing with linkages while the sensor still reads position.
