The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X60SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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.
Behind the MAC32X60SCA sits a 32 mm stainless-steel barrel with aluminium covers rolled and riveted onto it, a sealed body with no external fasteners to work loose. The carbon-steel 12 mm rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plating, so the cylinder tolerates washdown mist and damp corners that rust painted mini cylinders. At 0.5 MPa this double-acting unit pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; budget roughly 241 N for real work so seal friction and line losses never eat into your margin.
The variable air cushion at both ends is tuned with needle screws, letting you use the full 30-800 mm/s speed range without hammering the covers. A magnet comes built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight on for end-of-stroke signals. The CA pivot back cover accepts a pivot pin directly, which suits swing clamps and rocking linkages without stacking adapter brackets.

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. |
| ×60 | 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.
The CA pivot cover swings a lightweight reject paddle through 60 mm at line speed; the 402 N push clears jams and the cushion damps every stop.
Diverts 15 kg cartons off a 600 mm conveyor lane, counting on about 241 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa so the push stays crisp all shift.
The built-in magnet feeds a DMSG switch at both ends of the 60 mm bead, while the variable cushion stops the applicator softly between panels.
At 402 N push and 345.6 N pull (0.5 MPa), the 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm bore at 245.3 N and the 40 mm bore at 628.3 N - step down for lighter clamping duty, up if fixture mass creeps past the 40 kg-equivalent class. A plain MAC piston drifts once air is removed, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put through a valve centre or power cut. With a 60 mm stroke, keep side load on the 12 mm rod low and align the CA pivot so motion stays in one plane.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull. Theoretical maximum is 82.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, and the double-acting piston carries a variable air cushion at both ends.
A stainless-steel round barrel with aluminium-alloy covers rolled on, a 12 mm hard-chrome plated rod, and a grease-retaining piston seal. Air ports are 1/8" on both covers and the rod thread is M10x1.25. The magnet is standard and works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches.
