The AirTAC Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA32X50SCA is a genuine double acting standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 50mm stroke, PT/G air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
A pivot-ready 32 mm bore driving a 50 mm stroke, the MA32X50-S-CA runs double acting on filtered air between 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and pushes 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa. Fixed bumper pads soften the impact at each end of travel, and the CA pivot back cover lets the body swing in a linkage with no extra bracket work. The magnet comes built in as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches drop straight on for end-of-stroke signals. For real work, plan on about 241 N rather than the full 402.2 N rating at 0.5 MPa - that margin absorbs seal drag and supply dips. Held vertically, the same figure equals a lift of roughly 41 kg at full rating, or 20 kg with a 2:1 margin, which makes matching part weights straightforward. The riveted stainless round barrel and hard-chrome plated 12 mm carbon-steel rod resist washdown and humid shop air far better than painted mini cylinders, and travel speed spans 30-800 mm/s.

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.

| 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). Mounting accessories: FA flange, LB foot, SDB pivot; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
The 402 N push at 0.5 MPa seats small bushings and dowels into aluminium housings on an assembly bench, with the CA pivot letting the cylinder follow a tilting press arm.
Mounted through its pivot back cover, the 50 mm stroke swings a sorting gate between two lanes; the standard magnet triggers a CMSG switch to confirm each gate position.
Roughly 241 N of practical clamping force holds plastic container lids during dosing, and the stainless barrel stands up to frequent wipe-downs around the filler head.
At 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull on 0.5 MPa, this bore suits light clamping and short transfer strokes; drop to a 25 mm bore (245.3 N push) for tighter frames or move up to 40 mm (628.3 N) when loads grow. Like any double-acting cylinder, the rod drifts once air is vented, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a position must be kept. Ports are 1/8" with an M10x1.25 male rod thread; combine the CA pivot cover with an SDB pivot bracket, or specify FA flange or LB foot mounts instead if the frame is fixed. Proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa those rise to 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull, and the theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The CA pivot back cover gives the round stainless body an integrated pivot eye, so it swings freely in linkages and gate arms without add-on clevis brackets. The construction itself is a riveted stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod, suited to damp and washdown-prone areas, and the built-in magnet works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches as standard.
