The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X650SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 650mm 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 enters both chambers of this 650 mm stroke MAC, making it a true double acting cylinder with a variable air cushion at each end; nothing springs it back and the cushion needles let you soften arrival at either limit. Its 32 mm bore generates 402 N pushing at 0.5 MPa - 563 N once supply reaches 0.7 MPa - and the 650 mm travel is cut to order because the standard ceiling for this bore is 500 mm.
CA pivot eyes in the back cover take a pin or SDB bracket directly, letting a linkage on a packaging gantry swing without extra hardware. The stainless tube and 20 um hard-chromed 12 mm rod tolerate humidity and light washdown that soon rusts painted minis. For sizing, about 241 N of useful push - 60% of the 402 N rating - slides a 24 kg fixture on rollers, and hung vertically the bore hoists around 41 kg; halve that to 20 kg for a comfortable safety factor. DMSG and EMSG switches read position off the standard piston magnet.

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.

| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×650 | 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.
Opening a sliding safety gate across a 650 mm pallet conveyor entrance, the 402 N push driving a 15 kg mesh panel on ball-bearing hangers.
Ratcheting a cable-drum indexing arm through 650 mm on a wire-harness bench, the CA pivot eyes taking the linkage pin without a bracket.
Pushing carton blanks 650 mm across a laning table into an inline case packer, the air cushion absorbing impact at the stop.
Step down to a 25 mm MAC (245 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter gates, or up to the 40 mm bore (628 N) when working loads pass 240 N. Remember that with the valve centred or air lost the rod free-drifts, so pilot-check or rod-lock the port if the load must stay put. Long 650 mm strokes amplify any side load - guide the load externally and check rod column strength on the datasheet for the exact stroke. PT ports come blank as standard; specify G or NPT if your piping needs them.
Quick checklist
402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and up to 82 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. The bore is 32 mm with a 12 mm rod, 1/8" port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
Both ends carry a variable air cushion - crack the needle screws open on commissioning, then close them gradually until the 650 mm travel stops cleanly. The piston magnet is fitted as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches clip straight to the barrel.
