The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X300SCAH 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.
Built around a 32 mm bore, this double-acting mini cylinder pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563.0 N on the extend side at 0.7 MPa. A variable air cushion works at both ends, so the 300 mm stroke can arrive softly anywhere in the 30-800 mm/s speed band.
The body is a stainless-steel barrel with aluminium covers rolled on - a sealed, riveted round structure - and the hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod shrugs off washdown and damp plant air. In practice, plan on about 241 N of real working force at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly a 20 kg vertical lift once you allow a 2:1 margin. A magnet comes standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on with no 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.
| 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.

|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×300 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion), MAR (cushioned with integrated F/U mount). Mounting accessories: FA flange, LB foot, SDB pivot; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
402 N at 0.5 MPa sweeps packs off the belt sideways, and the exhaust cushion stops the frame rattling at full extension.
The CA back cover pins straight to the linkage, swinging a clear polycarbonate guard open and shut each cycle.
Retract force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa settles a 20 kg hopper onto its station with the cushion easing the touchdown.
A 25 mm bore MAC makes 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, a 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N - the 32 mm sits between them for medium clamp and push work. Like every MAC it drifts when air is removed, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof.
The CA pivot back cover suits swinging linkages, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets handle fixed-base jobs. Over a 300 mm stroke, keep side loads off the rod or guide the load externally. The trailing H in MAC32X300SCAH is not a suffix covered here - confirm its exact meaning on the current AirTAC datasheet before ordering.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa, 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore is 32 mm with a 12 mm rod, 1/8" ports, an M10x1.25 rod thread and a 300 mm stroke.
No. Every MAC cylinder leaves the factory with a piston magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount straight onto the barrel - no special piston and no reorder.
