The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X600SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 600mm 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.
With a 600 mm stroke and a 32 mm bore, this MAC gives you 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 563.0 N at 0.7 MPa - enough to eject, clamp or index parts across a long reach. In practice, budget around 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa so the cylinder never runs at its ceiling; that margin also buys smoother speed control across the 30-800 mm/s range.
The round stainless barrel with its hard-chrome plated rod shrugs off washdown and damp shops far better than painted minis, and the riveted aluminium covers keep the body sealed. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you bleed off end-of-stroke shock, and the built-in magnet (standard) accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches out of the box. The CA pivot back cover suits pivoting mounts, and the 600 mm stroke is made to order since 500 mm is the catalogue maximum.

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.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×600 | 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.
Kicks cartons off the far lane of a packaging conveyor, with the CA pivot taking up stroke misalignment over the full 600 mm travel.
Swings the access gate on a fume hood or cleanroom pass-through, where the stainless barrel stands up to daily wipe-downs.
Drives a long-travel harness lever on a weaving machine, with both air cushions stopping the frame without slam at high cycles.
If 402 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the bore 25 MAC gives 245.3 N; if you need more, step up to bore 40 for 628.3 N at the same pressure. Remember that a plain MAC drifts the moment air is removed - the cushion is not a lock - so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve if the rod must hold position mid-stroke. Pair the CA pivot cover with an SDB pivot bracket or LB foot from the mounting list, and keep side loads off the 12 mm rod: at 600 mm of travel, guide the load externally rather than on the piston rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 563.0 N and 483.8 N. The bore reaches a theoretical 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Double-acting, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, with a variable air cushion at each end.
CA is a pivot back cover - the cylinder pivots in service, which absorbs alignment error on long strokes like this 600 mm. Add an SDB pivot bracket or LB foot if you need a frame attachment, and note the 600 mm length is made to order, above the 500 mm standard cap.
