The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X585SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 585mm 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.
Custom-built in 585 mm of travel, the MAC32X585SCA takes AirTAC's 32 mm stainless mini past its 500 mm standard-stroke limit while keeping the full 402 N push at 0.5 MPa from a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply. Air drives the rod both ways - double acting throughout - and a variable cushion at each end is tuned with the needle screws to soften every arrival between 30 and 800 mm/s.
Over nearly 600 mm, the riveted rolled barrel joint and grease-storing piston seal keep the tube airtight, a quiet advantage of this round-body construction on long builds. Vertically that same 402 N equals about 41 kg of lift, so keep hoisted loads near 20 kg for a comfortable 2:1 margin. Position sensing needs no special ordering: the standard magnet works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches anywhere along the bore, and the CA pivot back cover accepts a clevis pin for swinging mounts.

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.

| 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.

Driving a guide pin in and out across 585 mm on a trailer dock leveller, seating pallets squarely before the forklift enters.
Lifting a 15 kg instrument tray on an electronics burn-in rig, comfortably inside the 20 kg vertical budget at a 2:1 margin.
Tensioning and releasing a vibratory sieve screen by swinging a cam lever through the long stroke on a dusty powder processing line.
Long custom strokes like this 585 mm build need guided loads - run the plate on linear bearings so the 12 mm rod sees pure thrust. If 402 N at 0.5 MPa falls short, the 40 mm bore pushes 628 N; if it is generous, the 25 mm bore's 245 N saves air. Because a plain MAC freewheels whenever supply pressure drops, add a pilot check valve or rod lock if the rod must hold position mid-stroke. Confirm final dimensions for this made-to-order length from the datasheet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 402 N push, 345.6 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 563 N push, 483.8 N pull. Theoretical maximum 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
Back both needle screws fully off, run the cylinder slowly through the 585 mm stroke, then close each screw gradually until end-of-stroke knock disappears. The cushion is variable, not a fixed bumper, and it is not a brake - with air removed the rod still drifts, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
