The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X35SCM 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.
The CM round-end cover on this 32 mm MAC makes it a natural fit for pivoting linkages: pin it and let the 35 mm stroke swing a lever through 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Air works both ways - 345.6 N on retract - and twin variable cushions calm the stops. Under the covers sits a rolled stainless tube around a 12 mm hard-chrome rod, a pairing that shrugs off the moisture that ruins painted minis.
Budget about 241 N for the actual work, the sensible share of the 402 N rating; as a lift that is roughly 41 kg on the rod, or 20 kg if you halve it for a margin. Position sensing costs nothing extra because the piston magnet is standard - CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches all clip on. Run it anywhere from 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 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.
Tilting a small mixing kettle lid open between batches: mount the CM round cover on a pivot pin and the 35 mm stroke swings the lid clear with 402 N available.
A pivoting idler arm on a packaging conveyor keeps belt tension constant; the round back cover rides the pivot while the 345.6 N retract side works against the spring.
Toggle valves on a humid water treatment skid see condensation daily; the stainless tube and chromed rod outlast painted bodies, and the magnet feeds a CMSG switch for an open-closed signal.
Need less force? The 25 mm bore does 245 N at 0.5 MPa. Need more? The 40 mm bore reaches 628 N. For the CM round cover, add an SDB pivot bracket or a rod knuckle to complete a swinging mount; FA flange and LB foot options cover fixed installs. Do not treat the cushion as a lock - with air off the rod slides freely, so fit a rod lock where a held position matters.
Quick checklist
You get 402.2 N of push and 345.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 82 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. The port size is 1/8", the rod measures 12 mm and carries an M10x1.25 male thread.
The tube is stainless steel with aluminium covers rolled and riveted onto it, so there is no coating to chip. Splashed coolant, washdown mist and outdoor humidity that blister painted bodies barely mark it, and the 20 um hard-chrome rod plating adds a second corrosion barrier while keeping friction low.
