The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X430SU 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.
A 430 mm stroke on a 32 mm bore gives MAC32X430SU the reach to lift parts weighing roughly 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - the 402 N push at 0.5 MPa equates to about 41 kg of theoretical lift, halved so a real load never stalls the rod. The round body is a rolled stainless-steel barrel with a 20 um hard-chrome 12 mm rod, a build that shrugs off washdown mist where painted minis blister.
Double acting and cushioned at both ends, it decelerates its own piston with adjustable air, so fast 430 mm moves finish quietly. The flat-end U back cover seats on fixed plates, and the magnet fitted as standard lets CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches flag both ends of travel.

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.
Lifting machined housings of about 20 kg up a 430 mm lift column between two CNC stations.
Driving a sampling lance deep into a mixing vessel, with the stainless barrel resisting constant splash.
Raising a 430 mm stop blade in an order-picking aisle, cushioned so the blade lands without clatter.
Drop to a 25 mm bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) when the load is under about 15 kg; move to a 40 mm bore (628 N) for heavier vertical work. Supply pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and at this length any side load should be carried by external guides, not the 12 mm rod.
The MAC will not park itself: when the valve centres or air fails, the piston drifts, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever the load must hang. U flat-end mounting plus FA flange or LB foot brackets anchors the body firmly on long strokes.
Quick checklist
The 32 mm bore gives 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 484 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Ports are 1/8", the rod thread is M10x1.25, speed spans 30-800 mm/s, and supply pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof.
MAC32X430SU rolls a high-precision stainless-steel barrel onto aluminium covers and a stainless block - no tie-rods to loosen - and the 12 mm carbon-steel rod carries 20 um of hard chrome. In damp food, outdoor or coolant-heavy spots this combination resists the rust and flaking that shorten painted-steel minis.
