The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X100SCMH 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.
A 402 N push rating across 100 mm of travel defines the MAC32X100SCMH: a double-acting, cushioned 32 mm bore mini cylinder with a CM round-end back cover and a trailing H option tail in the code. Push and pull figures are 402 N and 346 N at 0.5 MPa; the stainless barrel is roll-packed against aluminium covers with a 12 mm hard-chrome rod taking the wear.
Before sizing, work the margin: keep continuous work near 241 N and you retain reserve for pressure dips; vertically that is about 20 kg of lift at a 2:1 factor. Cushioning is adjustable at both ends, the magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches is already fitted, and the exact meaning of the H suffix should be confirmed from datasheet before ordering.

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.
The 100 mm stroke slides a machine guard across a lathe chuck area; the CM round end pins to the door linkage and the 346 N pull force retracts it reliably every cycle.
Pivot-mounted stoppers on a warehouse roller line pop up under 402 N of push to arrest incoming pallets, cycling all shift at mid-band speeds.
A carton sealer clamps each box square with about 241 N of usable force while the adjustable cushion stops the clamp arms without bounce.
This bore sits between the 25 mm size (245 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 40 mm size (628 N); choose by load, not by price. The H suffix is not covered in the standard code table, so confirm from datasheet what option it adds - the base cylinder keeps 1/8" ports, an M10x1.25 rod thread and a 500 mm maximum standard stroke. For loads that must hold with air off, add a rod lock or pilot check valve; the cushion alone will not lock the piston. Clevis or pin duty suits the CM round end with an SDB bracket, while FA flange and LB foot hardware anchor fixed frames.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 402 N extend, 346 N retract. At 0.7 MPa: 563 N extend, 484 N retract. Theoretical ceiling: 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Stroke is 100 mm (standard limit 500 mm for this bore), speed 30-800 mm/s, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes, within limits. The barrel is stainless steel, the 12 mm rod is hard-chrome plated to 20 um, and the covers are aluminium alloy - a combination that resists mild corrosion far better than painted bodies. Wipe the rod regularly and avoid direct chemical splash for the longest service life.
