Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X30SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X30SU 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 MAC32X30SU
In the 32 mm force class the MAC32X30SU delivers 402 N forward and 346 N back at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 563 N forward at 0.7 MPa. This double-acting mini cylinder with a variable air cushion at both ends works across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and covers 30-800 mm/s.
Because the stainless barrel is rolled tight against the aluminium covers, the sealed round body resists washdown spray and outdoor damp that corrode painted minis. As a sizing shortcut, halve the raw force: 402 N at 0.5 MPa equals about 41 kg of theoretical vertical lift, so this bore raises roughly 20 kg with a 2:1 margin. The flat U back cover presents a fixed mounting face, and the standard piston magnet takes CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches straight away.

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 MAC32X30SU Is Used
Jig elevator stations
Lifts about 20 kg machining jigs vertically between stations, sized on the 402 N push with a 2:1 margin.
Carton flap tuckers
346 N of return force folds carton flaps on packaging heads, with the dual air cushion killing end-of-stroke bang.
Drill jig clamping
The flat U back cover sits flush against fixture plates for compact workpiece clamping on drill and tap jigs.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X30SU the Right Cylinder?
Step down to the 20 mm bore (157 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter work or up to the 40 mm bore (628 N) when you need headroom. The MAC holds nothing once air is removed - the rod moves freely, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended or clamped loads. With the U flat-end cover plus FA flange or LB foot brackets, the cylinder bolts flush into machine plates without adapter blocks.
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 MAC32X30SU FAQ
Push 402 N, pull 346 N at 0.5 MPa; push 563 N, pull 484 N at 0.7 MPa; 82 kgf theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), survives 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, cycles 30-800 mm/s and uses a 1/8" port with M10x1.25 male rod thread on a 12 mm rod.
Back both cushion needle screws fully off before the first stroke, cycle the cylinder slowly a few times, then turn the needles in gradually until the end-of-stroke knock disappears. That protects the aluminium covers when running fast or carrying heavy loads anywhere in the 30-800 mm/s band.
