The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X140SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 140mm 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.
Swing arms, rocker linkages and hinged gates are where the CA pivot back cover on this 140 mm stroke MAC earns its keep - the pivot takes the swinging motion without an added bracket. Push is 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 563 N. Because air works both directions, the same valve signal extends and retracts the rod.
Inside is a rolled stainless barrel with a hard-chrome 12 mm rod, so splash zones and outdoor duty do not chew the body the way they do painted minis. In vertical terms, 402.2 N is about 41 kgf of theoretical lift - halve that for a 2:1 margin and the cylinder comfortably raises a 20 kg part. The magnet is fitted as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches drop on for end-of-stroke signalling.

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.

| 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.
Pivoting a discharge gate on a powder-blending hopper open and closed each batch, the CA clevis carrying the swing motion directly across the 140 mm stroke.
A rocker arm that flips machined housings 180 degrees between two CNC stations, cushioning the over-centre travel at both ends so housings are not dropped or slammed.
Tilting the door of a bakery rack oven on every bake cycle; the stainless body tolerates the humid heat that would pit a painted mini within months.
Compare 0.5 MPa forces before committing: 245.3 N for the 25 mm bore, 402.2 N here, 628.3 N for the 40 mm bore. Running pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa = 215 psi. Because a centred valve leaves the rod free to drift, add a rod lock or pilot check valve whenever the load has to wait under power. The CA back cover pairs naturally with SDB pivot brackets, while FA flange and LB foot cover fixed cases; the standard magnet means the unit is sensor-ready from the box. With 140 mm of stroke, guide the load externally if any side force is present.
Quick checklist
Measured at the rod: 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. At the 1.0 MPa maximum the theoretical output is 82 kgf. Fluid is filtered air, 40 um or finer.
The barrel is stainless steel rolled into the aluminium covers, and the 12 mm rod is hard-chrome plated to 20 um. That combination tolerates damp air, splashes and outdoor exposure far longer than painted or plain aluminium bodies, with the riveted joints keeping the seal over years of cycling.
