Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X260SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X260SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 260mm 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 MAC32X260SCM
The CM round-end back cover on this MAC32X260SCM lets the cylinder pin straight into a clevis or pivot bracket without extra hardware. Double acting on air in both directions, it delivers 402.2 N of push and 345.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa over a 260 mm stroke. Its stainless round barrel is rolled onto the aluminium covers, a construction that tolerates humid food-plant and outdoor duty far better than painted mini cylinders.
Halve the theoretical 41 kg lift figure and you get a practical vertical-lift budget of about 20 kg - a realistic match for raising small jigs or gate leaves. Twin variable air cushions tame arrival shock as speed rises, and the standard built-in magnet means DMSG or EMSG switches mount without any special-order piston.

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 MAC32X260SCM Is Used
CNC chip sweeper
Sweeps aluminium swarf off a machining-centre conveyor into a scrap hopper at the end of every cycle; the stainless body laughs at coolant mist.
Case flap tucker
Folds bottom flaps on a corrugated case packer; 345.6 N of pull retracts the tucker arm clear of oncoming boxes.
Roller-door latch drive
Drives the latch arm of a warehouse roller shutter; the round-end cover pins straight into a simple clevis on the door frame.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X260SCM the Right Cylinder?
Need less force? The 25 mm bore gives 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. Need more? Step to 40 mm for 628.3 N. On a 260 mm stroke the slender rod is side-load sensitive, so guide the payload in its own bearings and align the cylinder square to the travel. The piston drifts whenever supply air drops - centring the valve is not a brake - so fit a rod lock for parked loads. FA flange or LB foot mountings pair cleanly with the CM round-end cover.
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 MAC32X260SCM FAQ
Push at 0.5 MPa is 402.2 N and pull is 345.6 N. Raise supply to 0.7 MPa and push reaches 563.0 N (pull 483.8 N). The theoretical ceiling is roughly 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of 40 um filtered air at 30-800 mm/s.
It pins into a clevis or pivot bracket with no adapter plate, so swinging loads mount directly. The body is a riveted stainless round barrel - not a tie-rod or profile design - and the built-in magnet is standard, so a CMSG or DMSG switch clips on for position feedback.
