The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X170SCM 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.
A 32 mm bore in the MAC round-body series gives you 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, and this 170 mm stroke version adds a CM round-end back cover for compact fixed mounting. Air drives the rod both ways and a variable air cushion at each end soaks up stop shock.
At 0.5 MPa you can count on roughly 241 N of usable push once you keep a 40 percent reserve, which equates to lifting about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod shrug off washdown and damp air, and the standard built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches without special ordering.

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.

| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×170 | 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.
A 170 mm stroke lets the 32 mm bore reach into a housing bore and seat bushings with about 241 N of controlled push at 0.5 MPa.
Cushioned engagement stops the index plate firmly; 402 N of push locks the plate against the detent at 0.5 MPa without hammering the cover.
Stainless barrel and chrome rod stand up to steam-adjacent humidity while raising about 20 kg trays vertically with a 2:1 margin.
If 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 25 mm bore delivers 245.3 N; step up to a 40 mm bore when 628.3 N is required. Ports are 1/8" on all 32 mm bodies with an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Remember a plain MAC drifts when air is removed - fit a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets bolt on alongside the CM back cover.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 563.0 N and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum for the 32 mm bore is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Every unit ships with a standard magnet, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clip straight onto the barrel. Air ports are 1/8" on all 32 mm bores, with PT threads standard and G or NPT selectable.
