The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X600SCM 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.
Long travel with mid-range muscle: at 0.5 MPa the 32 mm piston delivers 402.2 N on the extend stroke and 345.6 N retracting, rising to a theoretical 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working around 241 N keeps the cylinder in its comfort zone, and a 20 kg vertical lift falls well inside a 2:1 margin.
CM round-end back covers give a clean, fixed stud face, so the MAC bolts flush into a machine plate without extra adapters. The stainless tube and chrome-plated 12 mm rod handle splash and condensation that would corrode painted minis, while the twin needle screws of the variable air cushion tame the end-of-stroke energy on a 600 mm run. The piston magnet is fitted as standard for CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches, and the 600 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 500 mm catalogue cap.

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.

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.
Slides a tall storage rack door across its track; 402 N at 0.5 MPa moves the leaf and the CM face bolts flat to the frame.
Pushes pallets between roller lanes in a distribution centre, with the 600 mm made-to-order stroke crossing a full lane width.
Advances a bottle rail one pitch per cycle on 40 um filtered air, with DMSG switches confirming home and end positions.
Downsize to bore 25 if 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa covers the load; upsize to bore 40 (628.3 N) when you want a bigger reserve. With no air applied the rod moves freely - the cushion is not a brake - so add a pilot check valve or rod lock where the load must stay put. The CM round-end cover takes a fixed face mount, with FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot available if the machine layout demands. Watch side load on the 12 mm rod at 600 mm of travel; external linear guiding keeps the tube and seals alive.
Quick checklist
Push is 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. Supply filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
CM presents a round, fixed end that bolts flat into a machined seat - useful on this long 600 mm body where pivots would add wobble. The stainless barrel and chrome rod handle washdown, and the standard magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches.
