The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X300SCM 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.
Double acting on air at both ends, this 32 mm bore unit swings between 345.6 N of pull and 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 563.0 N forward at 0.7 MPa on a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply. Needle screws at each end open a variable air cushion, so the 300 mm travel can settle gently at any speed from 30 to 800 mm/s.
Inside is a greased heterogeneous piston seal running in a stainless tube, with aluminium covers rolled onto the barrel for a riveted round body that copes with humid workshops and periodic washdown. The 12 mm hard-chrome rod resists scoring and rust. Realistically, keep continuous work near 241 N at 0.5 MPa - that is about a 20 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - and the standard magnet means CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches fit without a special 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.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 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.
About 241 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa seats alloy brackets against the jig, and the cushion kills the end-of-clamp thud.
The 300 mm stroke shunts totes from one belt lane to the next without hammering either end stop.
A 300 mm sweep folds the trailing flaps flat; cushioned ends keep the crease crisp instead of stamped.
One size down, a 25 mm MAC produces 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa; one size up, a 40 mm bore produces 628.3 N, which frames this 32 mm choice. The piston coasts freely when supply drops, so a pilot check valve or rod lock is the way to hold a suspended load.
The CM round-end back cover gives a plain rounded fixed mounting face, while FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets, plus I and Y rod knuckles, cover every other attachment. With 300 mm of travel, hold the thrust in line with the 12 mm rod - off-axis forces will work it hard.
Quick checklist
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. The theoretical ceiling is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Stroke is 300 mm, bore 32 mm, rod 12 mm, port size 1/8" and rod thread M10x1.25.
It swaps the standard back cover for a rounded end that presents a clean fixed mounting face. Pivoting duty is the CA cover's job and flat fixing the U cover's, and FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets can be added to any of them.
