The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X145SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 145mm 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 145 mm stroke gives this 32 mm MAC extra reach: 402.2 N to extend and 345.6 N to retract at 0.5 MPa, with 563 N available at 0.7 MPa for short bursts. The double-acting circuit plus a variable air cushion at each end means you can decelerate heavy linkages smoothly instead of crashing them into the covers at up to 800 mm/s.
The body is a riveted stainless barrel with a hard-chrome carbon-steel rod - a combination that survives washdown corners and outdoor panels where painted cylinders rust. Treated as a lifter, 402.2 N converts to about 41 kgf; with a 2:1 margin that is a 20 kg vertical lift you can plan around. The CA pivot back cover accepts a clevis or pin, and the built-in magnet is standard, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

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.

| 0.7 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.
Swinging a ventilation damper blade on a paint-shop air handler; the CA pivot takes the arc directly across the 145 mm stroke without linkage plates.
Lifting a 20 kg formed tray out of a thermoform die with a 2:1 margin on the 41 kgf push, cushioned at the top so the die faces are not hammered.
Sliding an interlocked guard door on a stamping press open and closed each cycle, with magnet switches reporting door state back to the safety PLC.
The 32 mm bore sits at 402.2 N push / 345.6 N pull on 0.5 MPa, between the 25 mm size (245.3 N) and the 40 mm size (628.3 N) - pick by measured load, not by bore habit. Working range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). If the machine must hold position through a power cut, remember this cylinder drifts without air; a pilot check valve or rod lock provides the holding instead. The CA pivot back cover plus an FA flange, LB foot or SDB bracket covers nearly any fixture, and every unit ships with the magnet installed. Long strokes like 145 mm punish side load, so add a guide bushing where the load is not perfectly aligned.
Quick checklist
Push 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; push 563.0 N and pull 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa; 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. The 32 mm bore uses 1/8" ports and an M10x1.25 male rod thread, running on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The CA pivot cover accepts a clevis or pin so the load can swing freely, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets add fixed or foot mounting where needed. I and Y rod knuckles are available for the rod end. The 145 mm stroke sits well inside the 500 mm standard range for this bore, so no custom barrel is required.
