Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X320SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X320SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 320mm 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 MAC32X320SCA
A long-travel member of AirTAC's round-body MA family, the MAC32X320SCA is a double acting mini cylinder with a variable air cushion at both ends and a 320 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 563.0 N. The CA pivot back cover lets the rod swing through an arc, so linkages and levers mount directly without extra knuckles.
The stainless-steel barrel shrugs off the condensation and washdown mist that eats painted-steel minis, while the hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod resists scoring over the long stroke. Because roughly 241 N of that 402.2 N push is a realistic working figure, you can plan a mechanism around it instead of the bare rating. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches simply snap on.

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 MAC32X320SCA Is Used
Swing-link ejection on a press
A pivot-mounted MAC32X320SCA drives a 320 mm lever arm that kicks finished stampings off the die table, using about 241 N of practical push at 0.5 MPa.
Rotating stop gate on a bottling line
The CA pivot swings a gate into the conveyor path; the 32 mm bore stalls cartons reliably and cushions both ends at up to 800 mm/s.
Lab autoclave door assist
Steam-humid rooms suit the stainless barrel; the built-in magnet trips a CMSG switch to confirm full retraction before the cycle starts.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X320SCA the Right Cylinder?
Size down to a 25 mm bore (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) when the load is under roughly 145 N; step up to a 40 mm bore (628.3 N) if you need margin or higher speed. Remember the MAC drifts freely when air is removed - it holds no position on its own - so fit a pilot check valve or rod lock for suspended loads. The CA pivot pairs naturally with the SDB pivot bracket or an I/Y rod knuckle, and FA flange or LB foot mounts are available if the machine needs a fixed base. Over a 320 mm stroke, keep side load off the rod with a guide and open the cushion needles fully on the first run.
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 MAC32X320SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 563.0 N and 483.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 12 mm rod carries M10x1.25 male thread, air ports are 1/8", pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
The pivot lets the cylinder follow a lever or linkage instead of forcing everything into a straight line, and the variable air cushion at both ends lets you bleed off end-of-stroke shock as the load builds. Back the cushion needles off before the first stroke and open them gradually.
