The AirTAC Airtac B52-MA Copper-Free Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder B52-MA32X150SCMLB is a genuine double acting standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 150mm stroke, PT/G air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
With a 32 mm bore and 150 mm stroke, the MA32X150SCMLB delivers 402.2 N of push and 345.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (71 psi) while double-acting air handles both the extend and return strokes. Fixed anti-impact bumper pads soften the stroke ends - they decelerate the piston but are not an adjustable air cushion, which is the territory of the MAC series. A built-in magnet is part of the standard build, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clamp straight onto the barrel without any special-order piston. The rolling-packed body pairs a stainless-steel round barrel with a hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod, a combination that shrugs off mild corrosion and washdown far better than painted-steel minis in damp or food-area service. Rated 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure and a 30-800 mm/s speed window, this cylinder moves roughly 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa once a 60% reserve is kept back, or lifts about 20 kg vertically when a 2:1 margin is applied. The CM round-end back cover plus the LB foot bracket bolt the unit down on fixed machine plates without extra adaptor parts.

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.

A 150 mm stroke reaches across a 400 mm packaging conveyor to push rejected cartons off the belt, with 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa handling double-stacked boxes without hesitation.
Pressing a hot-melt nozzle onto corrugated flaps calls for about 240 N of working force - the 32 mm bore covers it at 0.5 MPa while the stainless barrel survives glue-line heat and spatter wipe-downs.
In an electric forklift battery bay, the CM round-end back cover and LB foot bolts hold the cylinder on a frame plate as the rod swings a latch plate over a 150 mm travel, with the standard magnet confirming home position via an EMSG switch.
Compare force classes before committing: the 25 mm bore pushes 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 40 mm buys 628.3 N - pick 32 mm when your load sits near the 240 N working band. Ports are 1/8 inch on this bore with an M10x1.25 male rod thread, so existing PT fittings and manifolds connect without adapters. Remember that when air drops or the valve centres, the rod drifts freely - nothing in a plain MA clamps the piston, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if a load must stay put. The LB foot mount suits fixed plate installation and the CM round-end back cover keeps a clean envelope for through-plate or clevis-style arrangements. At 150 mm of stroke, guide the load externally and keep side forces off the 12 mm rod; misalignment here bends rods and wears the front bearing well before the bumper pads ever see rated life.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore unit pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. Raise supply to 0.7 MPa and the figures become 563.0 N pushing and 483.8 N pulling. At the theoretical 1.0 MPa maximum the force peaks near 82 kgf. Stroke is 150 mm, the rod is 12 mm hard-chrome steel, ports are 1/8 inch, and the action is double-acting throughout the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
The CM round-end back cover gives a smooth cylindrical rear face, and the LB foot bracket bolts the barrel to a machine plate so the body stays fixed while the rod cycles. Order the SDB pivot bracket instead if the cylinder must articulate. Every unit already carries a piston magnet, so adding a CMSG or DMSG reed switch for end-of-stroke sensing is a clip-on job, not a rebuild.
