The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X240SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 240mm 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-ended and ready to pivot, the MAC32X240SCM carries the 32 mm bore's 402 N push at 0.5 MPa - 563 N at 0.7 MPa - over a 240 mm stroke in AirTAC's rolled round body. The piston's two-way heterogeneous seal doubles as a grease reservoir, holding lubricant in its grooves between service intervals.
That seal detail cuts maintenance on machines running all shift, while the stainless barrel and hard-chrome rod hold up in humid or lightly washed environments. The magnet comes built in, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop straight on. For sizing, count on roughly 241 N of usable force - 60% of the 402 N rating - or about 20 kg of vertical lift at 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.
| 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. |
| ×240 | 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.
Swinging a docking barrier via the pivot pin in the CM cover, with magnet switches confirming arm position before the AGV creeps in.
Deflecting totes into sort lanes across 240 mm travel, the cushion absorbing the arrival shock at high sort rates.
Kicking vision-inspection failures off the belt, where 402 N at 0.5 MPa clears the part weight with room to spare.
Match the bore to the job: MAC25 tops out at 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, this bore delivers 402 N, and MAC40 reaches 628 N. The CM round end takes a pivot pin directly, and FA flanges, LB feet or SDB brackets bolt on where a fixed mount suits better. Remember the cylinder floats when de-energized - there is no internal lock or brake - so pair it with a rod lock wherever drift would be unacceptable.
Quick checklist
Push 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; push 563.0 N and pull 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Double acting with a variable cushion at both ends, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating range, proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), 1/8" ports, M10x1.25 rod thread.
No. Every MAC cylinder in this series ships with the piston magnet already fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount on the barrel and detect end positions immediately - no special-order piston and no modification to the standard unit.
