Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X185SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X185SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 185mm 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 MAC32X185SCA
Pivot duty and cushioned stops meet in this 32 mm MAC: 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa, 185 mm of stroke, and needle-adjustable air cushions at each end that let you tune deceleration for faster cycles or heavier arms. Its stainless barrel with a hard-chrome 12 mm rod resists corrosion in damp workshops where painted bodies blister. Working range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
Vertically, the same 402 N translates to about 41 kg of raw lift, so with a 2:1 margin it comfortably raises roughly 20 kg on a linkage. The CA pivot back cover pins straight to a clevis, and the factory-fitted magnet accepts DMSG or CMSG switches without ordering a special piston.

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 MAC32X185SCA Is Used
Tipping lever on a mixer hopper
The CA pivot eye pins straight to a dump lever, tipping small ingredient hoppers with 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
Swing clamp arm on a weld fixture
Clamps brackets through a pivoting arm; the built-in magnet signals clamp-on to a DMSG switch so the welder will not fire early.
Flap seal on a blend-tank outlet
Opens a discharge flap through 185 mm of arc; air cushions keep the flap from cracking against its stop at speed.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X185SCA the Right Cylinder?
The 25 mm bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) suits lighter link arms; the 40 mm bore (628 N) takes heavier pivots. Keep in mind the cushion is a damper, not a lock - once air is vented the arm swings free, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held positions. The CA pivot eye connects directly to a clevis or linkage pin, and FA, LB or SDB brackets are there if the layout changes. Because the piston magnet comes standard, DMSG and EMSG switches mount without a special build. At 185 mm, align the pivot pin square to the bore axis or the 12 mm rod will see bending loads.
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 MAC32X185SCA FAQ
Expect 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563.0 N and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with 82 kgf as the 1.0 MPa theoretical maximum. The 1/8" ports and M10x1.25 male rod thread are standard on the 32 mm bore.
A pivot eye for clevis or linkage pins, so swinging arms mount without adapters. If the layout needs a fixed foot or flange instead, FA, LB and SDB brackets fit the same body, all backed by the 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating window.
