The AirTAC AirTAC MA32X450SCM Mini Cylinder 32 mm Bore CM is a genuine double acting standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 450mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Rolling-packed around a stainless-steel barrel, the MA32X450SCM is a 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke round-body mini cylinder that runs on compressed air in both directions, with fixed anti-impact bumper pads softening the shock at each end of travel. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N, a force class that suits clamping, part feeding and tray handling on packaging and assembly equipment. In practice that 402.2 N rating supports roughly 241 N of useful work once you keep a reserve for friction and pressure drop, or, put another way, it lifts about 20 kg vertically when you work to a 2:1 margin. The round-end CM back cover keeps the rear face clean for fixed installations, while FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets bolt on if the frame needs them. A magnet sits in the piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop onto the barrel without a special-order piston, giving end-of-stroke feedback to the PLC. The 12 mm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod and grease-retaining two-way seal keep friction low across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

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 | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 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.
With 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa the cylinder slides filled cartons off a packer conveyor into a lanes chute, and the 450 mm stroke clears a deep tray nest in one move.
Mounted under a lift plate, the 32 mm bore raises about 20 kg of baked trays per cycle with a 2:1 margin, the stainless barrel shrugging off flour-dust washdown.
The CM round-end rear cover bolts flat to the jig body, and 241 N of reserved clamping force holds aluminium extrusions steady through repeated drilling cycles.
Compare both directions before you commit: the 20 mm bore MA20X450 delivers only 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm MA40X450 reaches 628.3 N, so the 32 mm sits in the middle for mid-weight loads over this long 450 mm travel. Because a plain MA vents both chambers when the valve centres, the rod will settle under gravity - specify a pilot check valve or rod lock if the position must be kept. At 450 mm stroke keep the rod side-load low and guide the payload externally, since only the M10x1.25 male thread and 12 mm rod carry the force. The magnet is already fitted, so pick the CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch that matches your PLC input.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore cylinder 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. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Air must be filtered to 40 um, and the rod moves at 30-800 mm/s.
The fixed anti-impact bumper pad simply decelerates the piston at stroke end; it is not an adjustable air cushion, so the deceleration cannot be tuned - that capability belongs to the MAC family. The magnet, however, is fitted as standard on every MA piston, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed or Hall switches clip straight onto the stainless barrel for position signalling with no special-order piston required.
