The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X430SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 430mm 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 430 mm of stroke and a CA pivot back cover already built in, MAC32X430SCA swings through rotary lever linkages without bolt-on eyes or extra brackets. The 32 mm bore pushes 402 N at 0.5 MPa and 563 N at 0.7 MPa; sizing for about 241 N of continuous work keeps a long linkage crisp through millions of cycles.
Inside, a stainless-steel barrel is rolled onto aluminium covers and a stainless block, sealing the 12 mm hard-chrome rod path against washdown and outdoor grit. The magnet is built in as standard and feeds CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches across the whole 430 mm travel, while the variable cushion at each end lets you tune deceleration to the linkage mass.

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.

|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×430 | 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.
Rotating a heavy oven lid through a lever linkage, driven by 402 N at 0.5 MPa over a 430 mm arc.
Swinging an in-line gate open between wash zones, where the stainless barrel shrugs off mist and detergent.
Decelerating a long lever with the variable cushion while DMSG switches confirm both swing positions.
Compare against the 25 mm bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) for short light levers, or the 40 mm bore (628 N) when the pivot adds heavy friction. Because a centred valve or lost air lets the piston drift, hang a pilot check valve on the CA pivot lines if the lever must stay raised.
Foot and flange brackets (LB, FA) or an SDB pivot mount adapt the body where the CA cover is not used; I or Y rod knuckles protect the 12 mm rod on swing motions. At 430 mm, keep lateral load low so the long rod never bows.
Quick checklist
Push is 402 N and pull 346 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa those climb to 563 N push and 484 N pull, and the theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 32 mm bore uses 1/8" ports, a 12 mm rod with M10x1.25 thread, and runs 30-800 mm/s from a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply.
Pick MAC32X430SCA when the load swings - lever linkages, hinged gates, rotating chutes - because the CA back cover provides the pivot point without brackets. For fixed plates choose the flat-end U version, and add FA flange or LB foot mounts where the body itself needs anchoring.
