The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X110SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 110mm 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.
Pivoting mounts come built in on the MAC32X110SCA: the CA back cover gives a rod-eye style pivot so the cylinder can follow an arcing load without a side moment on the 12 mm rod. It is double acting - air both extends and retracts the piston - with a variable air cushion at each end that you tune with the needle screws. At 0.5 MPa expect 402 N push and 346 N pull, and 563 N push at 0.7 MPa; for lifting sums, 402 N is about 41 kgf theoretical, so a 2:1 margin puts roughly 20 kg of vertical lift in reach.
The riveted stainless round barrel, aluminium-alloy covers and 20 um hard-chrome rod hold their finish in splash zones where painted minis bubble and flake, a genuine edge in food plants and outdoor machinery. The magnet is included as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors mount without ordering a special 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.

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.
Rotating a welded bracket through 180 degrees on an assembly bench: the CA pivot eye tracks the arc, and the two-way cushion stops the flip without a bang.
Swinging a plough that diverts cartons off a roller line: 402 N at 0.5 MPa beats belt friction, and the stainless tube shrugs off the humidity near wash stations.
Tipping a small granule hopper into a mixer inlet: the pivot mount follows the tilt, and roughly 20 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin covers the charge weight.
Compare against neighbours before committing: a 25 mm bore yields 245 N at 0.5 MPa and a 40 mm bore 628 N, so pick 32 mm when the load sits between those classes. Remember the MAC is a mover, not a holder - if air is lost or the valve centres, the rod floats freely, so a pilot check valve or rod lock is the fix for suspended loads. The CA pivot suits swing and link mechanisms; if the frame is fixed, order the CM or U cover plus an FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bracket instead.
Quick checklist
Push 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; push 563 N and pull 484 N at 0.7 MPa; 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The MAC32X110SCA has a variable air cushion at both ends controlled by needle screws. Back the screws off before first operation, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke impact disappears - do not screw them fully shut. Speed range is 30-800 mm/s and the air should be filtered to 40 um.
