The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X560SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 560mm 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.
Strokes beyond the standard 500 mm ceiling are the whole point of the MAC32X560SCA - AirTAC builds this 560 mm version to order on the 32 mm bore, still delivering 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa from a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply. It stays double acting with a variable air cushion at each end, so the long travel never hammers the covers even at 800 mm/s.
The stainless round barrel resists corrosion along an unprotected span, and the hard-chrome rod plating keeps the sealing surface smooth over the extended stroke. Because 402 N at 0.5 MPa converts to about 41 kg of vertical lift, budget around 20 kg for a 2:1 margin when the cylinder must hoist rather than push. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount anywhere along the 560 mm travel for mid-stroke positions, and the CA pivot back cover takes a clevis pin for swinging linkages across the long span.

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.

Swinging a guide gate across a 560 mm tote conveyor junction in an ASRS picking aisle, driven by the CA pivot through the full arc.
Pushing printed cases sideways off a wide transfer belt into a sortation lane; 241 N of working force is ample for 3 kg cartons at speed.

Forcing a 32 mm bore over 560 mm of travel means side-load discipline matters: guide the load on external rails or a gantry, because the 12 mm rod should carry thrust, not bending. The 25 mm bore tops out at 245 N at 0.5 MPa while the 40 mm bore offers 628 N if the extra travel must move heavier tooling. As with any plain MAC, air off means the rod drifts - fit a pilot check valve or rod lock where the load must park mid-stroke. This non-standard length is quoted made to order.
Quick checklist
The 32 mm bore pushes 402 N and pulls 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 563 N push and 483.8 N pull, with 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, 40 um filtered air.
Standard MAC strokes for the 32 mm bore run to 500 mm, so 560 mm is a non-standard build produced on request. The construction - riveted stainless barrel, chrome-plated rod, aluminium covers - is unchanged, and the variable cushion at both ends still applies. Order the CA pivot only when the load genuinely swings; otherwise an FA flange or LB foot mount is simpler.
