Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X130SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X130SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 130mm 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 MAC32X130SCA
The MAC32X130SCA is AirTAC's double acting round-body mini cylinder for a 32 mm bore and 130 mm stroke, with a variable air cushion at each end. Its riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod stand up to washdown and damp plant air far better than painted-steel minis. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402 N and pulls with 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures climb to 563 N and 483.8 N.
In practice, size the real job at roughly 241 N of push at 0.5 MPa - about 60 percent of the rating - or expect it to lift about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet that triggers CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches is already fitted as standard, and the CA pivot back cover takes a clevis joint without extra hardware. It runs 30-800 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).

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 MAC32X130SCA Is Used
Carton gate on a packaging line
A 130 mm stroke swings a divert gate at conveyor speed; the 402 N push at 0.5 MPa handles the gate mass while the air cushion quiets every stop.
Pick-and-place of die-cast covers
Transferring 8 kg aluminium housings between two fixtures stays within the recommended 241 N working force, and the CA pivot accepts the lift arm directly.
Tooling clamp on a small CNC fixture
A compact pneumatic clamp actuated across 130 mm holds sheet-metal brackets during drilling; the stainless barrel tolerates coolant mist.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X130SCA the Right Cylinder?
Compared with the 25 mm bore (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) this size nearly doubles the force; step up to the 40 mm bore (628.3 N) if loads exceed about 240 N. Remember the cylinder holds nothing once air is removed - the piston drifts freely - so add a pilot check valve or rod lock for a suspended load. The CA back cover pairs naturally with an SDB pivot bracket or a Y knuckle; add FA flange or LB foot for fixed mounts.
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 MAC32X130SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore delivers 402 N push and 345.6 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 563 N push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 130 mm stroke runs on a 12 mm rod through a 1/8" port with an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
A variable air cushion works at both ends: back the needle screws off before the first run, then close them gradually until the load lands softly. Combined with a 30-800 mm/s speed range, this lets you run faster cycles without hammering the covers.
