Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X160SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X160SU 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 MAC32X160SU
Where a flat rear mounting face matters more than a pivot, the MAC32X160SU pairs its U back cover with a 32 mm bore and 160 mm of travel. Double acting air gives 402 N of push and 346 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, plus a variable cushion at each end so fast 160 mm moves do not crack the aluminium covers.
Weigh your job against about 20 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety factor - the raw figure is 41 kgf. The rolled stainless barrel and hard-chrome 12 mm rod tolerate condensation in unheated workshops, and the built-in magnet feeds position signals to CMSG or DMSG switches straight out of the box.

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 MAC32X160SU Is Used
Drawer or door slide
Opening a heavy tooling drawer on a CNC cell cabinet, cushioned stop protecting the cabinet frame.
Test rig actuator
Applying 402 N to a sample holder in a small fatigue or leak-test bench over a 160 mm travel window.
Extendable stop pin
Deploying a stop pin into a parts track on an assembly conveyor, verified retracted by a DMSG switch.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X160SU the Right Cylinder?
Size against the 25 mm bore at 245 N and the 40 mm bore at 628 N (both at 0.5 MPa); choose this 32 mm version when the force needed sits between them and 160 mm of stroke is fixed. It runs on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and cycles 30-800 mm/s; a rod this long deflects if a load is cantilevered, so carry side forces on external guides.
Because it is plain double acting, air loss lets the rod wander under load - a pilot check valve or rod lock holds the position instead. The U back cover seats directly against a bracket plate, or use SDB pivot and LB foot accessories when the fixture needs a different interface.
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 MAC32X160SU FAQ
The 32 mm bore produces 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N and 484 N at 0.7 MPa, with an 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. The rod is 12 mm diameter with M10x1.25 male thread and 1/8" ports; stroke length is 160 mm.
No - every MAC cylinder leaves the factory with the piston magnet fitted as standard. CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches mount directly on the stainless barrel, so adding position feedback to the 160 mm stroke is a bolt-on, not a special order.
