Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X280SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X280SCM 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 MAC32X280SCM
Round-ended at the rear, the MAC32X280SCM keeps pivot hardware tidy in tight frames while the 32 mm bore and 280 mm stroke do the work: 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, which works out to about 41 kgf - halve it and you still lift roughly 20 kg vertically with margin. It is double acting, running 30-800 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The CM round-end cover suits link and eye connections where a flat face would snag hoses or guards. Inside, a stainless barrel is rolled together with aluminium covers into one sealed riveted body, and the hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod shrugs off abrasion. Needle-valve cushions at both ends are adjustable, so end-of-stroke impact stays off the covers even with heavier moving parts.

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 MAC32X280SCM Is Used
Glue head traverse
Carrying a glue applicator head across corrugated blanks on a box stitching line, cushions damping each direction change.
Kettle lid lifter
Lifting a mixing-kettle lid of about 20 kg in a sauce plant, sized from 402 N push with a 2:1 margin and washed down daily.
Parts ejector
Knocking cooled small castings off a casting fixture in a foundry trim station, where the chrome rod endures abrasive dust.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X280SCM the Right Cylinder?
Compare bores on real push: 25 mm gives 245.3 N and 40 mm gives 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, so the 32 mm class sits between for medium gates, chutes and slides. Because a plain double-acting cylinder cannot park a load on air failure, budget a rod lock or pilot check valve when the position matters.
Choose the CM round-end when an eye bolt or link must swing freely, or specify FA flange, LB foot and SDB brackets instead. The piston magnet is standard fitment, letting CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches bolt on for cycle counting. At 280 mm of stroke, align the load line with the rod axis and guide any overhanging tooling in its own bearings.
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 MAC32X280SCM FAQ
Use 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa; the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. Practical planning figure: about 241 N of continuous work at half-gauge supply.
The rolled stainless tube and hard-chrome rod resist coolant mist, washdown and outdoor weather that swell paint and pit aluminium barrels, cutting corrosion-driven replacements in food, marine-side and outdoor fixtures.
