The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X130SU 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.
A 32 mm bore pushing 402 N at 0.5 MPa over a 130 mm stroke is what the MAC32X130SU delivers, double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends. The barrel is stainless steel rolled onto aluminium-alloy covers, a construction that shrugs off mild corrosion where painted minis blister. The rod is carbon steel with a 20 um hard-chrome plating.
Air enters through a 1/8" port; the 12 mm rod carries an M10x1.25 male thread. Because the magnet is built in as a standard fitting, CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clip straight onto the barrel with no special-order piston. The U flat-end back cover gives a flat fixed face, and the cylinder still hits 563 N push at 0.7 MPa with a theoretical 82 kgf peak. Plan real workloads at about 241 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or roughly 20 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

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.
Raising and lowering a product stop every few seconds suits the 30-800 mm/s speed band; 402 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for a 6 kg gate.
Clamping steel brackets in a welding jig across 130 mm keeps sparks away from the hard-chrome rod, and the flat U back cover bolts flush to the jig frame.
Kicking finished bushings off a drill fixture needs a short sharp push; 563 N at 0.7 MPa clears the chute while the cushion stops the ram from slamming.
Drop to the 25 mm bore (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) when force is not the constraint and you want a slimmer body; go to the 40 mm bore (628.3 N) for heavier clamps. Once the valve centres or air is lost, nothing locks the rod - it coasts wherever the load sends it - so fit a rod lock where a position must be kept. The U back cover bolts to fixed brackets; add an LB foot or FA flange, and use I or Y knuckles where the load swivels.
Quick checklist
Push is 402 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 563 N push and 483.8 N pull, peaking at 82 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Bore is 32 mm with a 130 mm stroke, rod 12 mm with M10x1.25 thread, port 1/8".
The stainless tube rolled onto aluminium-alloy covers forms a sealed, riveted body that survives splash, humidity and light washdown, while the 20 um hard-chrome rod resists scoring - a real edge in food, outdoor or coolant-heavy stations.
