Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X500SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X500SCM 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 MAC32X500SCM
Air pushes and pulls the rod on this double-acting MAC cylinder: 402.2 N forward and 345.6 N back at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563.0 N at 0.7 MPa. Plan on about 241 N of that push for real work once a 40% reserve is kept, and the variable air cushion at both ends tunes the landing so fast or heavy moves do not hammer the covers.
The CM round-end back cover presents a flat fixing face for inline pusher duty. Stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod resist coolant mist and washdown where painted minis rust, and the built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches as standard fitment.

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 MAC32X500SCM Is Used
Carton reject pusher
Kick off-spec cartons sideways off a packaging conveyor; the 402 N push clears a loaded 300 mm box at speed while the cushion damps the return.
Clamp-and-index fixtures
Advance a fixture wedge across 500 mm on a CNC fixture plate, then retract under air with the CM cover bolted flat to the base.
Sample elevator
Raise sample trays in a lab auto-sampler; the standard magnet plus CMSG switch confirms tray-present at each end of travel.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X500SCM the Right Cylinder?
For vertical lifts the MAC32X500SCM raises about 41 kg at 0.5 MPa on paper - halve that to roughly 20 kg for a safe 2:1 margin and match your part weight against it. If your load needs less than 245.3 N, the 25 mm bore is cheaper; above 628.3 N, move to 40 mm.
The long 500 mm travel magnifies side load, so keep the load guided on its own slides or add an I or Y rod knuckle. Remember the cylinder will not hold position when the valve centres - fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. The CM cover fixes flat; SDB pivot or FA flange brackets are available separately.
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 MAC32X500SCM FAQ
Push 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; push 563.0 N and pull 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical peak 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Bore 32 mm, rod 12 mm with M10x1.25 male thread, ports 1/8 inch, speed 30-800 mm/s, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The CM cover ends in a rounded boss with a tapped fixing hole, so the cylinder bolts flush into a plate or channel without an intermediate bracket. Combined with the riveted stainless barrel the body stays sealed and aligned in long frames.
