The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X220SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 220mm 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.
Pivot work over a longer reach is where the MAC32X220SCA fits: a 32 mm bore, a 220 mm stroke and a CA back cover that swings straight onto trunnion pins. Output is 402 N extending and 346 N retracting at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N if the supply runs at 0.7 MPa, with needle-adjustable cushions at both ends to calm the arrivals.
For everyday sizing treat the bore as about 241 N of reliable push, or as a lifter that raises roughly 20 kg vertically once margins are applied. The riveted stainless barrel laughs at splash zones where painted minis rust, and the magnet inside the piston accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches as a plug-on fit. Proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi) across a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) working band.

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.

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.
Swing a material stop up on a bandsaw infeed table; the CA pivot needs no fabricated link and the cushion saves the gate.
Flip a lane diverter between two chutes every cycle; 402 N of push shifts loaded totes without slowing the belt.
Raise a paint-booth access shroud of about 20 kg on demand, using the full 220 mm travel for headroom.
The 25 mm bore provides 245 N at 0.5 MPa for lighter duty; the 40 mm bore steps to 628 N when the load grows. Because 220 mm leaves a long rod overhang, keep side loads off the chrome rod and guide the payload on its own way. When air fails the rod simply drifts, so a rod lock or pilot check valve is the answer for parked loads. I and Y rod knuckles plus SDB pivot brackets complete a pivoting set-up with the CA cover.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore pushes 402 N and pulls 346 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 563 N push and 484 N pull, with an 82 kgf theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa. Ports are 1/8 inch, the rod is 12 mm with an M10x1.25 thread, and strokes run to 500 mm as standard.
Back both cushion needle screws fully open before start-up, then close them in small steps until the load stops cleanly without rebound. The cushion is variable, not fixed, so it can be retuned whenever the payload or the cycle speed between 30 and 800 mm/s changes.
