The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X175SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 175mm 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.
Few 32 mm minis combine 402.2 N of extension force at 0.5 MPa with a fully stainless round barrel, yet that is exactly what the MAC32X175SCM offers. Double-acting air power drives the 12 mm rod over 175 mm, and variable cushions at both ends can be tuned independently for soft landings.
For sizing, treat about 241 N as the practical push at 0.5 MPa and expect it to raise roughly 20 kg vertically on a 2:1 margin. The CM round-end back cover suits tight fixtures where a pivot eye would snag, and because the magnet is fitted as standard, CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches simply slide on.

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.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×175 | 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.
Side-mounted clamps close over workpieces with 402 N of force; the round CM body fits dense fixture plates where brackets would foul.
Formed trays are pushed from the nest over 175 mm, with cushions preventing the ejector plate from cracking the hot plastic.
Compact round bodies latch rolling storage drawers; stainless barrels resist cleaning chemicals in cold-storage aisles.
Lighter duty starts at the 25 mm bore with 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa; heavier clamping moves to the 40 mm bore at 628.3 N. Air enters through 1/8" ports, PT threads standard with G and NPT options. Note the cylinder will not hold a load if air pressure drops - a rod lock or pilot check valve is the fix. FA flange, LB foot or SDB bracket mounting, plus I and Y rod knuckles, complete the package.
Quick checklist
Extension 402.2 N and retraction 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; 563.0 N and 483.8 N respectively at 0.7 MPa; theoretical ceiling 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed range is 30-800 mm/s and operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
No. Every MAC body leaves the factory with a piston magnet, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches attach directly, and the dual needle-screw cushions are adjusted with a screwdriver during commissioning - back them off first, then close until shock is gone.
