The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X175SUH 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.
With 402 N of push and 346 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm MAC handles mid-duty linear work, and the figure climbs to 563 N on a 0.7 MPa supply. Air drives the piston both ways - there is no spring - and a variable cushion sits at each end of the 175 mm travel. Feed it air filtered to 40 um within 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and -20 to +70 C.
The body is a stainless round tube with aluminium covers rolled and sealed on - not a tie-rod stack - and the carbon-steel rod carries 20 um of hard chrome, a pairing that outlasts painted minis in humid food-plant or outdoor corners. Two cushion needles, opened fully before first stroke, slow only the last millimetres so faster cycle speeds stay safe. Lift maths: 402 N is about 41 kg of vertical pull, so count on roughly 20 kg per cylinder at a 2:1 margin. The piston magnet comes standard, working with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches from stock.

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.

| 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.

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.
Advances a tray nest one station per fill; 175 mm of travel matches a 160 mm pitch and 346 N of pull retracts the arm against guide friction.
Swings open the access door of a small test chamber each cycle; the riveted stainless body stands up to the warm, humid air near the door seal.
Releases the battery cover latch on light electric trolleys; a DMSG switch on the standard magnet tells the controller the cover is open.
Neighbouring bores frame the choice: 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa from the 25 mm, 628 N from the 40 mm, so pick this 32 mm tube when the duty sits in the 200-240 N usable band. Because the piston floats freely once air leaves, a centred valve lets gravity walk the rod - add a pilot check valve or rod lock where the load must sit still mid-stroke. One caution on the code: the trailing H is not a listed MA-series suffix, so confirm its meaning from the datasheet before releasing the order. For flange or foot fixing on this 175 mm stroke, order FA or LB mounting parts rather than machining brackets, and guide the load if the motion is not perfectly straight.
Quick checklist
Bore 32 numbers: 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563.0 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical ceiling of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This bore breathes through a 1/8" port, the rod is 12 mm with an M10x1.25 male thread, and PT (blank), G or NPT can be ordered. Working pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
The stainless barrel with rolled-on aluminium covers has no tie rods to work loose, and the hard-chrome plating (20 um) on the carbon-steel rod resists corrosion in damp or lightly washed areas - a practical edge over painted-steel minis that rust at the tube first.
