The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X600SCMH 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.
Air reaches both sides of the piston, so this MAC extends and retracts under power - no spring return - and tops out at 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Derate to roughly 241 N for the working stroke and you get consistent cycle times plus long seal life; at full 1.0 MPa the bore reaches a theoretical 82 kgf.
The stainless round barrel shrugs off coolants and outdoor condensation, and the hard-chrome 12 mm rod resists scoring over long travel. Both ends carry a variable air cushion: crack the needle screws open on first run, then close them gradually to absorb shock. The CM round-end cover suits fixed face mounting, and the 600 mm length is built to order. The trailing H in the code does not appear in the standard suffix chart, so confirm its exact option from the datasheet before ordering.

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.
Opens a long damper arm on a heat-treatment furnace, where the stainless tube tolerates warm, humid air near the oven.
Drops the gate on a vertical case elevator between floors, lifting about 20 kg against gravity with margin to spare.
Positions a stop pin on a boat-slip guide rail, where the chrome-plated rod resists the salt-humid marine air.
At 245.3 N of push, bore 25 is the step down; bore 40 with 628.3 N is the step up from this 32 mm bore. A centred valve or a loss of air lets the piston drift, so specify a rod lock or pilot check valve for held positions. The CM round-end back cover suits fixed bolt-through mounting; add FA flange or LB foot hardware as the frame demands. Because 600 mm of rod is long for a mini cylinder, keep the load carried in external linear bearings and avoid side thrust on the rod. Verify the meaning of the H suffix from the datasheet before you commit.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 402.2 N push, 345.6 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 563.0 N push, 483.8 N pull. Theoretical maximum 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating window 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
The piston magnet is fitted as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clip on without a special-order piston. Speed spans 30-800 mm/s, so the 600 mm travel takes roughly 0.75 s at full speed. Bleed the variable cushion needle screws open on first run, then close them gradually to settle the end stops.
