The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X200SCMLB is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 200mm 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.
Foot mounts change the mounting story: LB brackets under this MAC32X200SCMLB let the cylinder sit on a base plate or machine rail where no wall exists for a flange. The 32 mm stainless barrel resists corrosion in wet or gritty bays, and the riveted round-body build stays sealed under vibration. At 0.5 MPa the bore pushes 402 N and pulls 346 N; hold back a 40 percent reserve and about 241 N stays available for the job - call it 20 kg of vertical lift before the 2:1 margin.
Both ends carry a variable air cushion, so even a fast 200 mm stroke can land softly - run the needle screws fully open at commissioning, then dial them in gradually. A magnet is built into the piston as standard and pairs with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches; there is no special-order piston to buy. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, ports 1/8".

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.

| 0.5 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.

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.
Squaring wings on a palletiser infeed need a firm push; 402 N at 0.5 MPa squares cases across the 200 mm stroke, and the LB feet sit directly on the frame rail.
Dust and heat punish painted minis - the stainless barrel and chrome rod keep a sand-line vent gate cycling where a plain steel body would seize.
A 241 N working force drives and withdraws an indexing pin on a weld jig; the feet clamp to the bench rail and the magnet feeds a CMSG switch for position proof.
Next bore down, the MAC25, delivers 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa; the MAC40 above reaches 628 N and 528 N respectively. Choose the LB feet for rails and base plates, or switch to FA flange / SDB pivot if the frame suits them - the CM round-end back cover is fitted either way. Nothing is held when air is lost: with the valve centred the rod sags under load, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock for anything that must stay raised. The 200 mm stroke runs 30-800 mm/s, well inside the 500 mm standard limit, and side loads belong on external guides to spare the 12 mm rod.
Quick checklist
Push 402 N and pull 346 N at 0.5 MPa; 563 N push and 484 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, 1/8" ports, M10x1.25 thread on the 12 mm rod.
Back both needle screws fully open at commissioning so the stroke cannot hammer, run the cylinder slowly, then close each screw gradually until end-of-stroke noise and rebound disappear. The cushion works at both ends and lets you run faster or move heavier loads without shocking the covers - it is damping, not a brake, and holds nothing if air is lost.
