The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X340SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 340mm 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.
Pushing 402 N and pulling 346 N at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore MAC covers slides and clamps that need mid-range force over a 340 mm stroke. Being double acting, air both extends and retracts the rod, while the variable cushion at both ends lets you tune the stop to the load.
Buyer math: 402 N divided by gravity is about 41 kg of lift, so with a 2:1 margin it raises roughly 20 kg vertically - handy when matching a tray, fixture or gate weight. The stainless tube and chrome-plated rod also make it a natural pick wherever splashes or humidity would rust a painted body.

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.

| 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.

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.
Part-opens a slide gate on a small wastewater channel; 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa moves a light gate against head pressure.
Presses a sealing head onto ready-meal trays, where the variable cushion keeps the downstroke from marking thin film.
Drives a stopper ram on a benchtop bottling rig, lifting about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin on the 402 N rating.
Size down to 25 mm (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamps or up to 40 mm (628 N) when the job stiffens; 32 mm splits the difference with 402 N. Do not count on the cylinder to park a load: once air bleeds away the piston drifts, so a rod lock or check valve is needed at held stations. Every unit carries a standard magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and the U flat-end rear cover pairs cleanly with LB foot or FA flange plates. Over 340 mm of stroke any misalignment multiplies, so couple through an I or Y knuckle or rail-guide the load to keep bending off the 12 mm rod.
Quick checklist
Expect 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and up to 82 kgf theoretically at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of 40 um filtered air, keep speed between 30 and 800 mm/s, and the 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating covers surges.
The rolled stainless tube and hard-chrome plated rod need no paint to survive washdown, humidity or outdoor duty, so the MAC32X340SU keeps sealing reliably in food lines and damp plants where coated aluminium bodies flake and corrode.
