Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X165SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X165SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 165mm 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 MAC32X165SCM
A CM round-end back cover and a rolling-packed stainless barrel give the MAC32X165SCM its clean, bracket-free build: no tie rods, no profile grooves, just a 32 mm round body with a hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod sliding out of it. Double acting, it runs on air in both directions across the full 165 mm stroke, with a variable cushion at each end to soften arrival.
That cushion is what lets you push the 402 N extend rating (0.5 MPa) harder or faster without hammering the covers. Converted for vertical work, the extend force equals 41 kgf, and with a two-to-one margin that is about 20 kg of safe vertical lifting. Rated 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) on air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X165SCM Is Used
Light staking nose on a bench riveter
563 N at 0.7 MPa is enough for light staking on a bench riveting fixture, and the twin cushions let the operator run faster cycles without a metal-on-metal bang.
Case diverter on a parcel sorter
Mounted on an LB foot bracket, it kicks small parcels across sorter lanes; the round stainless body shrugs off dusty warehouse air that corrodes painted minis.
Rinse valve pusher on a bottling skid
A stainless body and chrome rod survive daily hose-down while the rod strokes a rinse valve open and shut; the built-in magnet feeds a CMSG switch to confirm valve position.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X165SCM the Right Cylinder?
Use the 402 N extend rating at 0.5 MPa as your top reference: the 25 mm MAC manages 245 N while the 40 mm MAC reaches 628 N, so drop or step a bore according to which side of 400 N the load falls. Centring the valve releases pressure and the rod will move under load - for position holding, spec a rod lock or pilot check valve instead of relying on the cushion. The CM round-end cover pins into ring or clevis linkages, and the standard piston magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches without any special order. Long strokes like 165 mm need external guiding; the M10x1.25 rod thread takes standard tooling plates.
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 MAC32X165SCM FAQ
Expect 402 N pushing and 346 N pulling at 0.5 MPa. Step up to 0.7 MPa and those figures become 563 N and 484 N. The ceiling sits at 82 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Ports are 1/8" by bore, the rod is 12 mm with an M10x1.25 male thread.
Turn both cushion needle screws fully out before the first stroke, then close them a little at a time until end-of-stroke impact disappears. That tuning lets the cylinder carry heavier loads or run toward 800 mm/s without damaging the covers.
