The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X25SCAH is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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.
Short on space but not on push: with a 32 mm bore and 25 mm stroke the MAC32X25SCAH develops 402 N of extend force and 346 N of retract force at 0.5 MPa, all inside a riveted stainless round barrel that shrugs off washdown and mild corrosion better than painted mini cylinders.
Double acting with a variable cushion at each end, it can be eased gently into its stops when cycling heavy jigs. For vertical duty the numbers translate to lifting roughly 41 kg on paper - plan on about 20 kg with a 2:1 margin. Every unit ships with a standard magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches mount straight onto the barrel for end-of-stroke signals.

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.

| 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.
Lowering a vacuum pick head onto cartons in a pick-and-place gantry; at 0.5 MPa the 402 N bore carries the head plus product and the 25 mm stroke suits shallow drops.
Driving a light bench press assist on an electronics workbench to seat connectors into housings during manual assembly.
Engaging a detent pin on a rotary indexing table each cycle, with the magnet and a CMSG switch confirming the pin is fully home.
The CA pivot cover on this model pairs with SDB pivot brackets or I and Y rod knuckles when the load must articulate; switch to the flat U or round CM cover if a fixed face suits better. Sizing check: drop to a 25 mm bore (245 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter ejection work, or step up to 40 mm (628 N) when the jig needs more clamp. Remember the piston is free to drift once air is removed - the cushion only softens the last millimetres, it never locks the load. The trailing H in the ordering code is a datasheet-level option - confirm from datasheet before ordering.
Quick checklist
Push is 402 N and pull is 346 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 563 N push and 484 N pull. The theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The MAC32X25SCAH rolls a stainless tube into its aluminium-alloy covers, giving a sealed riveted body that resists washdown and outdoor damp - a practical edge over painted mini cylinders in food and packaging areas. The hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod adds wear life, and the built-in magnet works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches as standard.
