The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X450SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 450mm 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 CM round-end back cover, the MAC32X450SCM suits builders who fixture around a rounded boss or custom bracket at the rear. It is a 32 mm double-acting mini cylinder with needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends: 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563.0 N and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, 82 kgf theoretical top rating.
In practical terms the bore will lift about 20 kg vertically once you allow a 2:1 margin on the 0.5 MPa force. The stainless rolled barrel resists corrosion in damp shops and outdoor rigs, while the 20 um hard-chrome rod keeps the seals running clean over the 450 mm stroke. Every unit ships with the magnet already in the piston - CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches just clip on.

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. |
| ×450 | 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.
Clamping steel plate in a drilling fixture - about 241 N of usable force holds the workpiece while the cushion eases the clamp shoe onto the surface.
Lifting the counterweighted door of a curing oven; the stainless barrel tolerates warm, humid air near the door seal over 450 mm travel.
Positioning sample baskets in a water-treatment test rig, where splash would corrode painted bodies and a DMSG switch confirms the raised position.
Compare by force: a 25 mm MAC pushes about 245 N at 0.5 MPa and a 40 mm about 628 N, so pick 32 mm when your working load sits between those bands. Keep external guides on a 450 mm stroke so the rod is not bent by side loads, and note the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centred - use a rod lock or pilot check valve to hold position. FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot mounts, plus I / Y rod knuckles, complete the installation.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 402.2 N push, 345.6 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 563.0 N push, 483.8 N pull. Theoretical maximum 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 40 um filtered, proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), rod speed 30-800 mm/s, 1/8" ports, M10x1.25 rod thread.
The magnet comes fitted in the piston as standard on every MAC, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches mount onto the barrel without a special-order cylinder or piston change.
