Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC32X50SCA
The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC32X50SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion 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 variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration on site.

About the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC32X50SCA
In the MA family, this 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke MAC is the cushioned double-acting option: air extends the rod, air returns it, and a variable air cushion softens both ends. At 0.5 MPa the piston delivers 402.2 N on the push stroke and 345.6 N pulling back - in practice, plan around 241 N of usable force so the cylinder never labours. Supply pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed 30-800 mm/s.
Its riveted round body pairs a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod, a real edge over painted-steel minis in damp or washdown corners of a plant. The CA pivot back cover lets the cylinder swing on a pin without extra brackets, and the standard magnet lets CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches snap on for end-of-stroke signalling.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø0mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 0 N | 0 N |
| 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.

Where the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC32X50SCA Is Used
Carton divert gate
Swinging a guide arm to steer cartons between two conveyor lanes; the CA pivot mount takes the swing motion directly, no fabricated clevis needed.
Bearing press station
Seating small ball bearings into housings on an assembly bench, where 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa covers light interference fits.
Jig lift on a drill fixture
Raising about 20 kg of clamped workpiece vertically, keeping a 2:1 margin against the 41 kg theoretical lift of this bore.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC32X50SCA the Right Cylinder?
For a 50 mm stroke at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore manages 245.3 N push while the 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N - step up if your load sits near the 241 N working band of this 32 mm model. Note that the piston drifts freely if air is lost or the valve centres; it is not a position holder, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Ports are 1/8", the rod thread is M10x1.25 on a 12 mm rod, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot hardware is available alongside the CA cover.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC32X50SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull. Theoretical maximum is 82.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, and moves at 30-800 mm/s. Ports are 1/8"; rod thread M10x1.25.
The barrel is stainless steel with aluminium-alloy covers rolled onto it, and the 12 mm carbon-steel rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plating. Unlike painted mini cylinders, these surfaces shrug off splashes, condensation and periodic washdown without rust bleeding onto the product.
