Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X230SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X230SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 230mm 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.

About the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X230SCA
AirTAC builds the MAC32X230SCA around a stainless round barrel riveted between aluminium covers, so the body shrugs off mild corrosion and washdown in damp or food-adjacent plants. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, and the 32 mm bore delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa with the rod extending.
The built-in magnet ships as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special-order piston. For sizing, treat about 241 N - 60% of the 402 N rating - as the realistic working force at 0.5 MPa, which covers lifting roughly 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X230SCA Is Used
Reject gate on a packaging line
Pneumatic pusher gates diverting cartons between conveyor lanes, where 402 N at 0.5 MPa clears a loaded reject chute without slamming, thanks to the adjustable cushions.
Swing clamp in a weld cell
Holding steel brackets in a welding jig: the hard-chrome 12 mm rod survives spatter cleanup and the CA pivot eye lets the clamp swing into position.
Stopper gate on a pallet-flow rack
Raising a 230 mm travel stop for pallet flow lanes, with a CMSG switch confirming gate-up before the next pallet releases.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X230SCA the Right Cylinder?
Need less force? The MAC25 pushes 245 N at the same 0.5 MPa; the next bore up, MAC40, reaches 628 N. The 230 mm stroke is inside the 500 mm standard range for bore 32, so it ships as a catalog item with no made-to-order wait. A plain MAC does not lock position - the rod drifts if air drops - so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. The CA pivot back cover pairs directly with SDB pivot brackets or I and Y rod knuckles for swinging lever mounts.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X230SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air, moves at 30-800 mm/s and uses 1/8" ports with an M10x1.25 rod thread.
The CA cover gives a built-in pivot eye, so the cylinder swings with lever linkages without extra clevis brackets. Combine it with an SDB pivot bracket or I/Y rod knuckles, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for end-of-stroke signalling.
