Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X500SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X500SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 500mm 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.

About the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X500SCA
With a 32 mm bore and a full 500 mm of travel, this double-acting mini cylinder pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa - roughly 41 kg and 35 kg of force. The variable air cushion at both ends is set with needle screws, so end-of-stroke shock stays under control even at 800 mm/s.
The stainless-steel round barrel with its hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod shrugs off washdown and damp air where painted minis corrode. A CA pivot back cover is riveted into the body, so rod eyes and linkages connect directly without an extra bracket, and the built-in magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches as standard.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X500SCA Is Used
Rotating diverter gates
Pivot a 500 mm swing gate or diverter chute in a bottling line, using the CA back cover and 402 N of push to swing product flow between lanes.
Web tensioner arms
Bear a tension arm down on film or paper web across a long travel, with the air cushion absorbing speed changes at both ends.
Lift-assist pushers
Push pallets or trolleys onto a transfer table; the rod eye pivots with the linkage as the load seats home.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X500SCA the Right Cylinder?
At 402.2 N push, the MAC32X500SCA carries roughly 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa once you keep a 40% reserve - enough for sliding heavier fixtures or tensioning long material webs. Step down to the 25 mm bore (245.3 N push) for lighter duty or up to 40 mm (628.3 N push) when the load grows.
On a 500 mm stroke even small side loads bend the 12 mm rod, so guide the load externally or fit a rod knuckle. The CA pivot back cover suits trunnion-style motion; add FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets when fixed mounting is needed. Note that a plain MAC drifts when air is lost - it does not hold position without a rod lock or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X500SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa the push rises to 563.0 N with pull at 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. Working range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, and the 1/8 inch ports suit the 32 mm bore.
No. Every MAC cylinder ships with the magnet fitted as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed and hall switches clip onto the stainless barrel for position feedback without a special-order piston. The variable air cushion at both ends is likewise standard - open the needle screws gradually on first run.
