The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X70SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 70mm 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 32 mm bore driving 402 N at 0.5 MPa, the MAC32X70SCA earns its place on pivoting machines that need compact punch. This AirTAC MAC mini cylinder is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, so end-of-stroke shock can be dialled out rather than absorbed by the covers.
The CA pivot back cover is rolled onto the stainless barrel together with the aluminium covers, giving a clevis-style pivot without bolt-on brackets. Each cylinder ships with a built-in magnet, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches drop straight on. Pull force is 346 N at 0.5 MPa and the push climbs to 563 N at 0.7 MPa, with 82 kgf theoretical maximum; for real duty count on about 240 N, enough to lift roughly 20 kg vertically on a 2:1 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.
Swinging a weld fixture clamp arm closed on sheet-metal brackets at a fabrication cell, with the pivot cover matching the arm linkage.
Tucking the last flap on a carton sealer head, where the cushion lets the tucker run fast without slamming.
Kicking small parcels between two gravity chutes in a distribution hub, magnet-driven sensors confirming each throw.
At 70 mm stroke this sits well inside the 500 mm standard range for bore 32. Step down to a 25 mm bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamps, or up to 40 mm (628 N) when the frame allows. The CA pivot pairs with an SDB pivot bracket for swing links, or an LB foot when the body must be fixed. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s. Note the piston drifts freely once air is removed - the cushion is not a brake, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held.
Quick checklist
Push is 402 N and pull 346 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 563 N with 484 N pull, and the theoretical ceiling is 82 kgf. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-800 mm/s.
Both ends carry a variable air cushion with needle screws. Back them fully off before the first cycle, then close them gradually until the 70 mm stroke ends softly. Running too tight from new overheats the cushion and drags the rod speed down.
