The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X50SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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.
Round barrel, riveted ends, cushioned both sides - the MAC32X50SCM takes the 32 mm MA platform and fits the CM round-end back cover for a clean, compact tail. Double acting throughout, it develops 402.2 N on the push stroke and 345.6 N on the pull at 0.5 MPa, with a variable air cushion at each end you can tune to the load.
The stainless-steel barrel shrugs off the condensation that wrinkles painted minis, while the 20 um hard-chrome rod keeps sealing surfaces smooth over millions of cycles. Every unit leaves the factory with a piston magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches bolt straight on for position feedback.

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. |
| ×50 | 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.
Kicking misaligned bottles off a filling carousel lane, with the cushion absorbing the stop against a backstop rail.
Loading a roller arm on a label press to keep web tension steady; 402.2 N of air force holds the wrap without a spring.
Opening the sliding access gate on a small machining cell, speed set mid-band within the 30-800 mm/s range.
At 0.5 MPa push the ladder reads 245.3 N for the 25 mm bore, 402.2 N for this 32 mm unit and 628.3 N for the 40 mm bore, so upsize if your working load creeps past the roughly 241 N this bore handles with margin. This cylinder holds nothing when air drops - the piston drifts, so spec a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. The CM round-end cover suits compact direct mounting; FA, LB and SDB hardware is there if the layout needs it, and 1/8" porting pairs with a 12 mm, M10x1.25 rod.
Quick checklist
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; 82.0 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Double acting with a variable two-end cushion, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply, 30-800 mm/s, -20 to +70 C, 1/8" ports on a 12 mm rod with M10x1.25 thread.
It swaps the pivoting CA tail for a rounded fixed end, keeping the footprint tight when the cylinder is bolted face-on or carried on FA flange or LB foot hardware. The round body stays riveted stainless, and the built-in magnet still drives CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches.
