Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X300SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X300SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 300mm 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 MAC32X300SCA
Three hundred millimetres of travel from a 32 mm stainless round barrel: the MAC32X300SCA runs double acting with variable air cushioning at both ends, letting you tune the stop as loads or speeds change. Push force at 0.5 MPa is 402.2 N against 345.6 N on the return; push the supply to 0.7 MPa and you reach 563.0 N. Because the tube is stainless and the 12 mm rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plating, it tolerates damp, washdown-prone corners that would ruin a painted mini.
Count on roughly 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - about 60 percent of the rating - enough to raise about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The piston magnet comes as standard equipment, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount without ordering a special piston, and the CA pivot back cover accepts a clevis pin directly.

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 MAC32X300SCA Is Used
Tray push-off station
Shifts filled bakery or pharma trays off a conveyor over 300 mm; about 241 N of working push clears a loaded tray without slamming, thanks to the adjustable cushion.
Index stop on a rotary table
Throws an indexing stop pin in and out of a machining rotary table; a DMSG switch reads the home position from the standard magnet.
Scrap chute gate
Opens and closes a stamping-press scrap chute; 563.0 N push at 0.7 MPa handles the gate weight plus any chip jamming.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X300SCA the Right Cylinder?
Compare bores by force: the MAC25 delivers 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa and the MAC40 delivers 628.3 N, so the 32 mm sits mid-range for pushes between about 240 and 400 N. Ports are 1/8 inch and the rod thread is M10x1.25; pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speed from 30 to 800 mm/s.
A standard MAC has no holding function - centre the valve and the rod coasts with the load, so fit a rod lock or pilot check where position must be kept. On a 300 mm stroke keep the load on its own bearings; side thrust on the 12 mm rod shortens seal life. Pair the CA cover with an SDB pivot bracket, or choose FA flange / LB foot for fixed frames.
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 MAC32X300SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull. Theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Size mechanisms around 241 N of continuous push so seals, friction and pressure dips stay covered.
No. Every cylinder in the MA range ships with the piston magnet already fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip onto the barrel and read end-of-stroke straight away. The variable air cushion at each end is set with its own needle screw; unscrew both fully before the first run and close them gradually.
