The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X220SCM 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.
A plain round end, a 220 mm stroke and 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa sum up the MAC32X220SCM - a double-acting mini cylinder whose 32 mm bore also returns 346 N on retract, with variable air cushions at each end. Theoretical peak output is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, though steady sizing should sit near 241 N so the cushions keep their margin.
Vertically, that translates to lifting roughly 20 kg once a 2:1 safety margin is taken from the 41 kg class thrust. The body is a stainless tube with covers rolled on - no tie rods to loosen - so seals stay tight through mist and washdown that would pit a painted mini. A piston magnet comes fitted, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch drops.

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.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×220 | 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.
Feed sleeves down over bottles on a shrink line; 402 N at 0.5 MPa seats them without crushing and the cushion ends each stroke quietly.
Extend a depth stop into a drilling jig; the round end cover bolts flat to the jig body and the 220 mm travel clears chip hoods.
Lower a rinse head into a parts-cleaning tank, sized for a 20 kg assembly with margin, then retract it clear for loading.
Drop to a 25 mm bore (245 N at 0.5 MPa) when force demand is light, or step to the 40 mm bore (628 N) when it is not. The CM round-end face seats directly into clevis forks or against plates, while FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets add fixed choices. Air off, the piston moves freely - an external rod lock or pilot check valve is needed for held loads - and at 220 mm any side load should be carried by outside guides, not the rod.
Quick checklist
Push 402 N and pull 346 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N and 484 N at 0.7 MPa, with 82 kgf as the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Connections are 1/8 inch; the 12 mm rod carries an M10x1.25 male thread, and standard strokes run up to 500 mm.
No - the double-acting piston drifts freely once supply pressure is gone, and the cushion only softens the last millimetres of travel, it never locks. Fit a rod-lock cylinder or add a pilot check valve to the ports wherever a suspended or parked load must stay put.
