The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X375SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 375mm 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.
With a 12 mm hard-chrome rod inside a riveted stainless round barrel, the MAC32X375SCM delivers 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa across a 375 mm stroke. It is double acting - compressed air both extends and retracts the piston - and a variable air cushion at each end soaks up end-of-stroke shock when cycles run at up to 800 mm/s.
Because sizing on the raw rating overbuilds most jobs, treat about 241 N as the practical working push at 0.5 MPa. The CM round-end back cover keeps a low-profile pivot point without added brackets, and the magnet built into the piston as standard means CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clip straight onto the barrel.

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.

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.
A sliding diverter gate on a PET bottle conveyor needs steady mid-range force over 375 mm of travel; 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa moves full lanes without jarring the bottles.
Rolls a sliding door on a powder-curing oven open and closed, where the stainless barrel tolerates humid heat-adjacent air and the variable cushion settles the door gently.
Pushes finished cartons off a case packer outfeed; the round-end cover mounts to a pivot link and the 375 mm stroke clears the full outfeed width.
A 25 mm bore gives 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa if the load is light; step up to a 40 mm bore (628.3 N) when force margins tighten. Note that a plain MAC drifts freely if air is lost or the valve centres - add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay put. For this 375 mm stroke keep side loads off the rod and guide the load externally; FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets cover the fixed-mount options.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 563.0 N with 483.8 N of pull. The theoretical ceiling is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-800 mm/s, with 1/8" ports in PT, G or NPT thread.
The riveted stainless tube with its 20 um hard-chrome plated rod resists washdown splash and mild corrosion, a real edge in damp or food-area plants. The two-way piston seal also stores grease, extending service intervals.
