Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X30SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X30SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 MAC32X30SCA
A 30 mm stroke on a 32 mm bore makes a compact thruster: 402.2 N of push and 345.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563.0 N forward at 0.7 MPa, with a variable air cushion trimming both ends of the short travel.
AirTAC builds it as a riveted round body - stainless barrel, aluminium-alloy covers, 12 mm hard-chrome rod - so it lives happily in humid or splash-prone corners. Magnet sensing is standard equipment, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount without ordering anything extra. For sizing, treat about 241 N at 0.5 MPa as the usable force, which corresponds to lifting roughly 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 MAC32X30SCA Is Used
Reject kicker on a sorting conveyor
A 30 mm kick with about 241 N of working force tips faulty packs off the belt in one quick pulse.
Ratchet advance on a small indexing dial
Pinned to the CA pivot eye, the cylinder steps the dial one notch per cycle with the cushion damping each stop.
Latching clamp on a machine guard
563 N at 0.7 MPa snaps the latch home, and the short 30 mm travel keeps the mechanism inside the guard profile.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X30SCA the Right Cylinder?
Down one size, a 25 mm MAC pushes 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa; up one size, a 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N. The piston holds no position of its own - when the valve centres or air drops, expect drift - so spec a rod lock or pilot check valve where gravity is involved.
The CA pivot back cover suits linkage and lever duty, while FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets adapt it to fixed frames. Short strokes still cycle anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s on a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply, with a 1/8" port and M10x1.25 rod thread keeping the plumbing simple.
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 MAC32X30SCA FAQ
Push 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; push 563.0 N and pull 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa; 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Bore 32 mm, stroke 30 mm, rod 12 mm, ports 1/8", rod thread M10x1.25, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
A 30 mm stroke usually drives a lever, latch or linkage rather than a linear slide, and the CA cover's pivot eye takes that swinging motion directly - no extra knuckle hardware. Flat or round fixed ends are available as the U or CM back cover instead.
