The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X190SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 190mm 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 stainless round barrel rolled onto aluminium covers gives the MAC32X190SCA a riveted, sealed body that tolerates damp shop air and mild washdown better than painted mini cylinders. Double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, it pushes 402 N and pulls 346 N at 0.5 MPa and runs 30-800 mm/s across the 190 mm stroke.
At a realistic margin that is roughly 241 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, or about 41 kg of theoretical vertical lift - halve it to 20 kg for a 2:1 margin. The CA pivot cover suits swinging mounts, the built-in magnet accepts CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches as standard, and 1/8" ports keep plumbing simple.

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. |
| ×190 | 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 CA pivot mount swings a 190 mm reach on a bottling line gate, using 402 N at 0.5 MPa to latch and release guard doors.
About 241 N of working force tucks top flaps on e-commerce cartons at takt speed, with the cushion softening every tuck.
Lab automation pushes sample trays 190 mm between stations; CMSG switches confirm home and extended positions.
Size the bore from both sides: a 25 mm MAC pushes only 245 N at 0.5 MPa, while the next step up, a 40 mm, reaches 628 N - so 32 mm at 402 N sits in the middle for medium clamping and push-fit work. A cushion is not a lock: when air is removed the rod drifts, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets plus I and Y rod knuckles bolt straight on, and with 190 mm of travel keep side loads off the 12 mm rod or guide them externally.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa, 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull. Theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Stroke is 190 mm with a 12 mm hard-chrome rod and 1/8" ports.
Back both needle screws fully off, run the cylinder slowly, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke impact disappears. The variable air cushion works at both ends across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
