The AirTAC 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.
Size the job at about 241 N of usable push, six tenths of the rating, or think of it as lifting roughly 41 kg vertically, 20 kg if you halve that for margin. 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.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×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 (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.
