Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X280SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X280SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 280mm 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 MAC32X280SCA
A 280 mm stroke on a 32 mm bore gives the MAC32X280SCA room for long travel gates and lifters while still pushing 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa. Treat about six tenths of that - near 241 N - as the honest working force and the cylinder will run cool and last longer. It cycles at 30-800 mm/s on a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply.
Behind the rod sits a CA pivot back cover, so swing links and trunnions connect without machining adapters. The body is a stainless round tube rolled into aluminium covers, an arrangement that resists washdown chemicals better than painted minis, and the two-way piston seal stores grease for longer service between overhauls. Adjustable air cushions at both rod ends absorb the deceleration shock.

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 MAC32X280SCA Is Used
Sorter divert arm
Kicking parcels onto an outfeed spur on a parcel-sorting conveyor, the pivot cover linking straight to the swing linkage.
Crate lift stage
Raising a small crate elevator stage about 20 kg worth of vertical load, sized from the 402 N push with a 2:1 margin.
Reject gate
Flipping a reject flap on a food grading line after the metal detector, where daily hose-down suits the stainless tube.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X280SCA the Right Cylinder?
Below this model, a 25 mm bore delivers 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa; above it, a 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N - match the bore to roughly 60% of push as working load. Expect drift, not holding, whenever air is removed; a pilot check valve or rod lock is the fix for loads that must stay put.
For pivoting linkages the CA rear cover is ready as delivered, while FA flange, LB foot and SDB brackets cover fixed frames. Every unit carries a standard piston magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches snap on for position feedback. With 280 mm of stroke, support long tooling separately so the 12 mm rod is not asked to carry bending loads.
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 MAC32X280SCA FAQ
Push is 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa those become 563.0 N and 483.8 N; theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. The 32 mm bore uses 1/8" ports, an M10x1.25 male rod thread and a 12 mm rod.
No. The magnet is part of the standard build on the MA family, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount on the barrel straight away - no special-order piston or factory delay.
