The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X100SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" 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.
The MAC32X100SCM is AirTAC's double-acting round-body mini cylinder: 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, CM round-end back cover and the magnet fitted as standard. Air extends and retracts the rod, and a variable air cushion at each end soaks up end-of-stroke shock, so you can run anywhere in the 30-800 mm/s band or push harder without hammering the covers. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402 N and pulls 346 N, rising to 563 N at 0.7 MPa; de-rate to roughly 241 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa and you have a healthy margin for real duty.
The body is a high-precision stainless-steel barrel riveted to aluminium-alloy covers, with a carbon-steel rod hard-chrome plated to 20 um, so it tolerates the mild corrosion and washdown that bubble painted-steel or aluminium minis in damp food and outdoor spots. The magnet ships built in, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight on without a special-order piston.

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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 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.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×100 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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.
Swinging a gate across a packaging conveyor: 402 N at 0.5 MPa clears a loaded lane, and the stainless barrel stands up to daily washdown where painted minis flake.
Lifting small aluminium castings clear of a machining jig: with a 2:1 margin the bore lifts about 20 kg vertically, and cushions ease the set-down at stroke end.
Ejecting shallow stamped brackets from a compact press die: 563 N is available at 0.7 MPa if a part binds, with the round-end cover keeping the rear mount simple.
Size by force first: at 0.5 MPa a 25 mm bore delivers 245 N and a 40 mm bore 628 N, so this 32 mm bore's 402 N sits mid-class for clamping, pushing and ejecting jobs. Keep in mind a plain MAC will not park its load - centre the valve or drop the air and the rod drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a position must be held. The CM round-end cover suits fixed rear mounting; FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets are orderable options, plumbing runs on 1/8" ports and the 12 mm rod carries an M10x1.25 male thread.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa that becomes 563 N push and 484 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. Working pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed 30-800 mm/s.
Yes - the magnet is built in on every unit, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The CM back cover is a round end for fixed rear mounting; CA pivot or U flat-end covers, plus FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets, can be ordered instead.
