Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X120SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X120SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 120mm 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.

About the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X120SCA
Swinging linkages, lid arms and pivot-mounted tooling are a natural fit here: the CA back cover provides a clevis pivot, so the rod eye and cylinder body move together without a separate bracket. Output at the 32 mm bore is 402 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 563 N at 0.7 MPa.
Double-acting cushioned action spans the 120 mm stroke at 30-800 mm/s. Count on about 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - near enough to raise a 20 kg load vertically at half margin. Inside is a riveted stainless tube and hard-chrome rod, a pairing that shrugs off coolant mist, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches out of the box.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X120SCA Is Used
Oven door latch arm
The CA pivot lets the rod swing with the latch link through its 120 mm arc; 402 N at 0.5 MPa seats the latch firmly.
Autosampler carousel lift
Raises a 15 kg sample tray between deck levels; about 20 kg of vertical lift at half margin covers the weight plus friction.
Fatigue test rig actuator
Drives a pivoting specimen linkage through thousands of cycles; variable cushions at each end tame end-of-travel shock.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X120SCA the Right Cylinder?
If your load needs under 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore will do; if it needs over 628.3 N, move to 40 mm. Keep 32 mm for the 400 N class. Because there is no internal holding, a centred valve lets the pivot arm sag under gravity - trap air with a pilot check or fit a rod lock. Align the CA clevis axis with the load line across the full 120 mm travel to limit rod bending.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X120SCA FAQ
Design to 402 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 563 N and 483.8 N, with about 82 kgf the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. The 1/8 inch port and M10x1.25 rod thread suit standard fittings, and pressures of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) apply.
Yes - back the cushion needle screws off before start-up and close them gradually until the 120 mm stroke lands softly. This variable cushion works at both ends, letting you raise speeds within the 30-800 mm/s range without hammering the covers.
