Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X160SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X160SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X160SCM
A round-end CM back cover gives the MAC32X160SCM a cylindrical rear face that cradle clamps and ring brackets grip naturally, which suits cage guards and roll-feed frames. The cylinder itself is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, so 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa arrives at the part gently instead of slamming.
Its 32 mm bore sits in the mid-force band of the MA family - roughly 241 N of that push is a realistic working figure once you keep a safety margin. Because the magnet comes standard in the piston, you can drop a CMSG switch onto the barrel later without ordering a special version, and the stainless barrel shrugs off the splash zone around washdown conveyors.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X160SCM Is Used
Bottle-rail pusher
Nudging rows of bottles across a filling-line guide rail, with cushions tuned so glass does not clatter.
Roll-feed index
Advancing a feed roll on a packaging machine through 160 mm per cycle, sensed by a DMSG switch at each end.
Cradle-mounted tensioner
Holding band tension on a roll stand where the CM round end nests into a split-ring cradle clamp.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X160SCM the Right Cylinder?
Neighbouring bores bracket this one: 25 mm supplies 245 N at 0.5 MPa for lighter slides, 40 mm raises 628 N when the tooling is heavier. Both 160 mm variants in the range share the same 12 mm rod and M10x1.25 thread, so tooling designed around one swaps easily.
Air pressure from 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) drives it; remember the cylinder cannot pin the load - once air bleeds off, the rod can be pushed back out of position, so fit a check valve where that matters. For longer runs the round body also takes LB foot or FA flange mounts if a cradle is not available.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X160SCM FAQ
Push is 402 N and pull 346 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 563 N and 484 N. The 32 mm bore tops out theoretically at 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply pressure must stay within 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) as the proof limit.
Back both cushion needle screws fully out, then close them gradually while cycling. This stops the 160 mm rod from hammering the covers at speed and lets you tune the deceleration to the load, anywhere in the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
