The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X225SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 225mm 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.
Round-body muscle for tight spaces: the MAC32X225SCM finishes with a CM round-end cover and turns 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air into 402 N of push and 346 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 563 N / 484 N with 0.7 MPa supply and 82 kgf theoretical maximum. A variable cushion at both ends lets you back off the needle screws on first run and tune landing shock per job.
Construction is a stainless tube with rolled aluminium covers - no tie rods to snag or loosen - plus a hard-chrome carbon-steel rod that keeps sealing surfaces smooth through washdown cycles. The magnet ships installed, ready for CMSG switch feedback, and matching a vertical load at full 0.5 MPa supply, this bore lifts about 41 kg.

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.

| ×225 | 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.
Knocks small molded parts free of an injection die; 563 N of push at 0.7 MPa clears sticky cavities cycle after cycle.
Raises a locating pin on a pallet conveyor between stations, a DMSG switch confirming pin-up before the transfer starts.
Closes an interlocked machine guard and reports shut position through a CMSG switch riding on the standard magnet.
Bore sizing in one line: 25 mm gives 245 N, this bore 402 N, 40 mm 628 N at 0.5 MPa - oversize by roughly 40% for friction and pressure droop. The CM round-end cover mounts through its centre hole; FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bolt on when the machine calls for them.
Because nothing locks the piston when air is lost, park the load with a check valve or rod lock rather than trusting the cushions. DMSG / EMSG switch brackets grip the stainless tube anywhere along the 225 mm of travel.
Quick checklist
Count on 402 N push / 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push / 484 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and 82 kgf theoretical maximum. Air pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The riveted round barrel resists rust and washdown chemicals, and the 20 um hard-chrome rod keeps the seal area smooth in damp or outdoor air, cutting maintenance compared with coated minis.
