The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X10SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm 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.
Short-travel clamping is where this 10 mm stroke CA-pivot version earns its keep: air drives the rod both ways, and adjustable cushions at each end let even a hard clamp landing come in soft. The stainless round barrel shrugs at splash and wipe-downs that swell painted housings, while the chrome-plated 12 mm rod resists scoring cycle after cycle. Output at 0.5 MPa is 402 N; divide by gravity and the bore could hoist about 41 kg, so with a 2:1 margin it lifts roughly 20 kg vertically.
The CA pivot cover lets the whole body swivel on a pin - pair it with an I or Y rod knuckle when the tool must follow link motion. The magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop straight on for position feedback. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), cycle at 30-800 mm/s, and back the cushion needles off before the first run.

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.

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.
A 10 mm squeeze locks a machined blank into position; 402 N at 0.5 MPa holds it firmly without marking the surface.
The short stroke confirms a casting has reached the nest before the arm descends, signalled by a DMSG switch on the standard magnet.
A wipe-clean stainless body and 10 mm advance move blister trays into a cartoning infeed without disturbing the row.
For a 10 mm move, bore 25 gives 245 N at 0.5 MPa and bore 40 gives 628 N, so pick this 32 mm when a clamp or probe needs mid-range push in a tight envelope. Vent the air and the piston simply floats - no spring holds a clamp shut, so pilot a check valve where a gripped part must not move during an e-stop. If the frame has no pivot point, switch to the U or CM back cover, or add an FA flange, LB foot or SDB bracket.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402 N and pulls 346 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures become 563 N and 484 N. Theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Run it anywhere from 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-800 mm/s, with both variable air cushions adjusted to the load.
A pin eye that lets the cylinder swivel as the linkage moves - ideal with an I or Y rod knuckle on clamp arms. Combined with the standard built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches, you get a pivoting, position-monitored mini cylinder without special-order parts.
