The AirTAC MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X35SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 35mm 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.
Short-travel clamping is where this 32 mm bore MAC earns its keep: 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa over just 35 mm, a pull side of 345.6 N, and a variable air cushion at both ends calming each stop. The rolled stainless barrel and hard-chrome 12 mm rod stand up to coolant mist and repeated wipe-downs, and the CA pivot eye on the back cover links straight to a lever or toggle without added hardware.
The piston magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG or DMSG switches confirm clamp position with no special-order piston. Cushion needles arrive partly closed - back them off, then dial in. Operating window: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-800 mm/s.

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.

| ×35 | 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 (double rod, 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.
Swing a toggle clamp over an aluminium gearbox housing and the 402 N push at 0.5 MPa locks it to the jig; the 35 mm stroke matches a short lever throw.
A pivoting stopper arm rises into the roller conveyor path to pause pallets; the CA pivot eye on the back cover takes the swing motion without a separate bracket.
Folding top flaps on a carton needs a crisp short push and pivot; about 241 N of usable force tucks the flap while the cushioned ends keep the linkage quiet.
For lighter clamp loads a 25 mm bore (245 N at 0.5 MPa) is enough; a 40 mm bore (628 N) covers stiff fixtures. The CA pivot eye pairs with an I or Y rod knuckle for swing motion, or pick the U flat-end when a fixed face is the mount. Note the MAC releases its load the moment air is lost - a pilot check valve on the ports holds the clamp if supply fails.
Quick checklist
Push is 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it delivers 563 N forward and 483.8 N back, topping out at a theoretical 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Connections are 1/8", rod 12 mm, rod thread M10x1.25.
No. Every MAC ships with the piston magnet as standard equipment, so CMSG reed, DMSG or EMSG Hall-effect switches snap onto the barrel and read end positions immediately - no special piston, no retrofit, no order-time extras.
