The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X150SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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.
Longer travel without giving up force is the brief the MAC32X150SCM answers: 150 mm of stroke on a 32 mm bore, in a cushioned double-acting body with a CM round-end cover. At 0.5 MPa it develops 402 N push and 346 N pull, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa - as a lift, 402 N equals roughly 41 kgf theoretical, so halving for a 2:1 margin leaves about 20 kg of vertical lifting within reach. The variable air cushion at both ends matters more on long strokes, since the piston carries more energy into the covers.
Position feedback over the full 150 mm is easy, because the magnet is fitted on every unit and CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount anywhere along the stainless barrel. That rolled, riveted tube with a 20 um hard-chrome rod also resists mild corrosion far better than painted-steel minis in damp cells or outdoor frames.

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.

Raising a parts basket clear of a degreasing bath: about 20 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, cushions softening the top-of-travel stop, and the stainless barrel survives the vapour zone.
Sliding an insulated oven door across its track: 402 N at 0.5 MPa overcomes seal drag, and the non-tie-rod rolled barrel keeps its finish in the humid, heat-adjacent air.
Driving a glue head across 150 mm to close a carton flap: magnet switches at each end report extend and retract over the full travel without a special piston.
Against the field: a 25 mm bore pushes 245 N at 0.5 MPa and a 40 mm bore 628 N, so choose this 32 mm size when travel and mid-range force both matter. Watch side load on the 150 mm stroke - keep the 12 mm rod in pure thrust with a guide or external slide, or rod bending and seal wear will shorten life. The MAC cannot hold a position by itself: with air off or the valve centred the rod drifts, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve to park a load. The CM round end mounts flat at the rear, with FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets available to order.
Quick checklist
Push 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; push 563 N and pull 484 N at 0.7 MPa; 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Operating range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The cylinder itself is guided only in thrust - any side load over 150 mm of travel will bend the 12 mm rod and accelerate seal wear, so guide the load externally on a slide or linear bearing. Within that, the variable cushions at both ends let you absorb the higher piston energy of a long stroke, and the standard magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensing along the whole barrel.
