Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X260SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X260SU 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 MAC32X260SU
Choose the MAC32X260SU where a fixed, flush mount suits the job better than a pivot - the U flat-end back cover bolts directly against a machine plate. This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder reaches 563.0 N of push at 0.7 MPa (402.2 N at 0.5 MPa) across a 260 mm stroke. Because the stainless barrel resists mild corrosion, it copes with splash zones and outdoor frames that dull ordinary aluminium minis.
Dial the needle screws at each cap to tune deceleration, then run up to 800 mm/s without hammering the covers. Size the real work at about 241 N - six tenths of the 0.5 MPa push rating - and the 12 mm hard-chrome rod keeps its line for the long haul. A magnet is fitted as standard for CMSG position feedback.

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 MAC32X260SU Is Used
Jig locating-pin seat
Seats a locating pin into a drill jig on a small transfer line; the flat U cover bolts flush to the fixture plate.
Water-skid valve lever
Pushes a butterfly-valve lever open and closed on a water treatment skid; the stainless body suits constant splash and condensation.
ESD tray diverter
Kicks loaded ESD trays between two lanes on an electronics assembly conveyor; 402 N push at 0.5 MPa handles full trays without stalling.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X260SU the Right Cylinder?
Between the 25 mm bore (245.3 N) and the 40 mm bore (628.3 N) at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm unit is the mid-force pick. Its U flat-end cover suits fixed plate mounts; add FA flange or LB foot hardware where the frame needs it. Note that the cushion absorbs arrival energy but never locks the piston - with air off, the rod moves under load, so a pilot check valve or rod-lock variant is needed for holding. Over 260 mm of travel, minimise side load to protect the rod and seals.
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 MAC32X260SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 402.2 N push, 345.6 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 563.0 N push, 483.8 N pull. Maximum theoretical force is about 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating band is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
No. The cushions only soften end-of-stroke arrival; with the valve centred or supply lost, the piston drifts under load. Fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a parked load matters. The magnet, however, is included as standard, so CMSG or EMSG switches signal position with no extra order.
