The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X100SUH 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 double-acting round-body mini cylinder with a variable air cushion at both ends, the MAC32X100SUH pairs a 32 mm stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod that shrugs off washdown and mild corrosion far better than painted mini cylinders. Air works on both faces of the piston, so the 402 N push and 345.6 N pull figures at 0.5 MPa are real working forces, and the U flat-end back cover bolts the body flat against a machine plate without extra brackets.
Dial the cushion needle screws in gradually to soften end-of-stroke impact and run anywhere from 30-800 mm/s. For sizing, plan on roughly 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating) rather than the full 402 N when loading a clamp continuously. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight onto the barrel, and the 1/8" PT ports take common push-in fittings.

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.

| ×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.
Driving a small ink stamp head that presses batch codes onto corrugated boxes; 402 N at 0.5 MPa gives a crisp mark and the 100 mm stroke reaches deep into the printer pocket.
Swinging a lane-diverter gate that routes PET bottles between filler infeeds; the air cushion stops the gate slamming at the end of every 100 mm swing.
Clamping microplate trays inside an analytical instrument enclosure, where the stainless barrel tolerates repeated wipe-downs without flaking paint.
Step up from bore 25 (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) when you need this bore's 402 N, or move to bore 40 (628.3 N) if margins are thin. Like every plain MAC, the piston drifts freely when air is removed, so add a pilot check valve or a rod-lock cylinder wherever a load must stay held. At 100 mm stroke, guide side loads externally; the 12 mm rod is not designed to take bending. U flat-end mounting pairs with FA flange or LB foot brackets if a fixed base is preferred.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa that rises to 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of about 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
It is a round-body mini cylinder: a stainless-steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers and a hard-chrome plated 12 mm carbon-steel rod, so it resists washdown and mild corrosion. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune the stop, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
