The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X135SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 135mm 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.
With a 135 mm stroke on a 32 mm bore, this MAC generates 402.2 N of push and 345.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N push at 0.7 MPa. Air drives the rod in both directions and a variable air cushion at each end lets you tune out end-of-stroke shock, so faster cycles up to 800 mm/s stay gentle on the covers.
The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod shrug off damp air and mild washdown, an edge painted minis lose quickly. Keep real work around 241 N - roughly 60 percent of the push figure - and the cylinder holds a comfortable margin all day. The U flat-end back cover bolts straight to a fixed plate with no bracket, and the built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches as shipped.

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.
A push arm that swings cartons off a snack-food conveyor at up to 800 mm/s, with the cushion absorbing the divert stop and the stainless barrel surviving daily wipe-down.
Clamping sheet-metal panels against a jig in a fabrication cell, where 402 N at 0.5 MPa holds the part firmly while the welder runs its pass.
Raising and lowering a 20 kg sample tray between a steriliser and a packing bench, sized with a 2:1 margin on the 41 kgf theoretical lift.
Size between neighbours: the 25 mm bore offers 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa and the 40 mm bore 628.3 N, so this 32 mm size is the middle choice when 245 N is short and 628 N is oversized. The supply window runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) on air filtered to 40 um. Note that a plain MAC releases its load the moment air drops - the air cushion is not a lock - so spec a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must be held. FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets complement the U flat-end cover, and ports are 1/8". Across a 135 mm stroke, avoid side loads or add external guiding to protect the 12 mm rod.
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 and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. Supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and the rod is double-acting in both directions.
Both ends carry a variable air cushion tuned by needle screws. On first run, back the needles fully off, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke impact disappears. With the cushion set you can run anywhere in the 30-800 mm/s speed range without hammering the covers.
