Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X170SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X170SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 170mm 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 MAC32X170SCA
The 170 mm stroke is the headline: five more millimetres of travel than the 165 mm version, on the same cushioned bore 32 round body. AirTAC rolls the stainless barrel onto the aluminium covers, hard-chrome plates the 12 mm rod, and finishes with a CA pivot back cover for pivoting mounts.
Double acting throughout, the MAC32X170SCA generates 402 N of extend force at 0.5 MPa; keep duty loads near 241 N and the cushioned stops stay quiet across the full 30-800 mm/s range. Vertically, the extend force equates to 41 kgf - about 20 kg of lifting once you apply a two-to-one margin. The built-in magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches as standard.

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 MAC32X170SCA Is Used
Lane divider on a bottling line
Air both ways plus a variable cushion swing a lane divider across a bottling conveyor; the CA pivot cover takes a clevis pin, and 402 N of push moves full bottle lanes.
Clamp pad on a palletising head
With about 241 N of real working force and an FA flange option, it drives a clamp pad that steadies cartons on a small palletising pick head.
Changeover stop on a machine slide
Stroke the 170 mm stop pin into a changeover slide and read both ends via DMSG switches on the standard magnet - no special-order piston required.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X170SCA the Right Cylinder?
Compare 402 N at 0.5 MPa against neighbours: the 25 mm MAC offers 245 N and the 40 mm MAC offers 628 N, so this bore 32 fits loads between roughly 250 and 400 N at moderate pressure. The CA pivot cover plus standard magnet means clevis mounting and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensing come without special orders. Since no air means no holding force, add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever the 170 mm stroke must park under load. And on a 170 mm run with a 12 mm rod, an LB foot plus an external guide rail keeps rod bending out of the picture.
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 MAC32X170SCA FAQ
The MAC32X170SCA pushes 402 N and pulls 346 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 484 N; the theoretical ceiling is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Ports measure 1/8", the rod thread is M10x1.25, and speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
The CA pivot back cover takes a clevis pin so the body can articulate with your linkage; FA flanges, LB feet and SDB pivot brackets, plus I and Y rod knuckles, bolt on when the job needs a fixed or guided mount instead.
