The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X15SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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.
Clamping, ejecting and short push-off jobs are the natural habitat of the MAC32X15SCM, a 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke double acting mini cylinder rated 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Its CM round-end back cover bolts flat into compact fixtures, and the variable air cushion at each end keeps short travels from ringing the machine frame.
The riveted stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod stands up to coolant, washdown and outdoor dust better than painted minis, and the magnet built into every piston as standard accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position feedback. Sizing takeaway: expect about 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa once margin is included, which matches lifting roughly 41 kg vertically, or about 20 kg with a 2:1 safety factor.

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.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×15 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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.
Kick finished blanks out of a small stamping die with 402 N of push over 15 mm, cycling at up to 800 mm/s all shift.
Hold sample trays on an automated test bench, where the stainless body tolerates cleaning chemicals between batches.
Stop and register blister trays ahead of a heat-seal station; the standard magnet plus an EMSG switch confirms each tray is seated.
This bore sits mid-range in the MAC family: 25 mm delivers 245 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter clamps, while 40 mm pushes 628 N when the job needs real headroom. The CM round-end cover suits fixed bolting, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets bolt on when the fixture calls for them. Bear in mind the piston is free to drift as soon as air is lost or the valve centres, so a rod lock or pilot check valve is the fix where a part must stay clamped. G and NPT thread options swap for the standard 1/8 inch PT ports at order time.
Quick checklist
Push is 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 563.0 N, and the theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, ports are 1/8 inch, and the 12 mm rod carries an M10x1.25 male thread.
Yes - the piston magnet is standard on every MAC cylinder, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches snap onto the stainless barrel to signal extend, retract or intermediate positions without ordering a special piston. Pair the switches with the 30-800 mm/s speed range to time your clamp or eject sequence.
