Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X180SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X180SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 180mm 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 MAC32X180SCA
Pivoting linkages are the fit here: the CA back cover carries a pivot ear, so the MAC32X180SCA swings on a pin without a fabricated bracket. Behind it sits the standard MAC recipe - stainless round barrel, rolled-on aluminium covers, and a 12 mm rod hard-chrome plated to 20 um - driving a double-acting piston cushioned at both ends on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air. The 32 mm bore delivers 402 N of push and 346 N of pull at 0.5 MPa.
At 0.7 MPa push reaches 563 N, so heavier clamp arms stay in range without stepping up to the 40 mm tube. Open both cushion needles before the first stroke, then dial them in to absorb the stop at either end of the 180 mm travel - handy when a swinging gate arrives fast. The magnet ships fitted, letting CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches report position, and the 402 N push works out to about 41 kg of vertical pull, or near 20 kg of practical lift at a 2:1 margin.

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 MAC32X180SCA Is Used
Mixer hopper lid swing
Swings a heavy hopper lid through 90 degrees on a pivot pin; the CA ear takes the rotation directly and cushions catch the lid at both ends of travel.
Sortation diverter gate
Flips a sorting gate between two chutes once per parcel; 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa moves the gate despite bearing friction and dust build-up.
Pay-off idler arm
Rides an idler arm on a cable pay-off stand; the hard-chrome rod shrugs off the drawing-lubricant mist inside the wire booth.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X180SCA the Right Cylinder?
A 25 mm bore gives 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa and a 40 mm bore gives 628 N, so this 32 mm tube with its pivot ear sits neatly between and wins when the load swings on a linkage. Nothing in the MAC parks the piston - cut the air or centre the valve and an unbalanced load coasts the rod along the 180 mm travel - so spec a rod lock or pilot check valve for parked positions. On this 180 mm reach, keep side loads off the rod and guide the payload externally; the pivot ear plus an I or Y knuckle absorbs small misalignment. FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot hardware can be combined on the same order if a second fixing point is needed.
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 MAC32X180SCA FAQ
Push 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; push 563.0 N and pull 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Ports for this bore are 1/8", rod 12 mm threaded M10x1.25, thread options PT (blank), G or NPT. Operating window 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The CA back cover integrates a pivot ear, so the cylinder pins straight to a linkage and self-aligns through the swing - no bracket to weld or machine. Fixed rear fixing instead suits the flat-end U or round-end CM covers, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot hardware can be ordered alongside.
