The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X10SU 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.
The MAC32X10SU pairs a 10 mm stroke with a 32 mm stainless-barrel body, giving 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa for short, punchy clamp or eject moves. Air drives the rod both ways and a variable air cushion sits at each end, so even a 10 mm travel finishes soft instead of hammering the flat-end U cover. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of 40 um filtered air and cycle anywhere from 30-800 mm/s.
The riveted round barrel is stainless steel with a hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod, so washdown spray and humid shop air will not chew through paint the way they do on painted-steel minis. Working at 0.5 MPa, keep real work to roughly 241 N (about 60% of the rated push) so the piston still completes the stroke under load; that same rating equals lifting about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A magnet comes built in, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight onto the barrel.

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.

| ×10 | 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.
402.2 N of push in just 10 mm of travel suits a swing clamp on a milling jig, where space is tight and cycle counts run high all shift.
Use the short stroke to kick finished pins or bushings off a press die face at up to 800 mm/s without disturbing the next blank.
The quick, cushioned pop is made for a diverting gate on a tablet or candy line, flipping stray packs off a single conveyor lane.
A 25 mm bore delivers only 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, so step up to this 32 mm if your clamp needs more than about 240 N of working force; a 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N if the job grows. Like every double-acting MAC, the rod drifts when air is removed - it does not lock - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The U flat-end back cover bolts flat to plates, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets are on hand if the mounting changes later.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 563.0 N; theoretical peak force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Port size is 1/8 inch and the rod thread is M10x1.25.
Yes - the variable air cushion works at both ends whatever the stroke length. Back the needle screws fully off before first run, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke knock disappears; never run them fully shut.
