The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X80SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm 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.
A 32 mm MAC with a CA pivot back cover, double acting and cushioned at both ends, made for linkages that swing as they push. At 0.5 MPa the rod drives 402 N out and 345.6 N back; at 0.7 MPa that climbs to 563 N. Run it anywhere in the 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) band at 30-800 mm/s.
The rolled stainless barrel shrugs off washdown that rusts painted minis, and the hard-chrome 12 mm rod keeps sealing surfaces smooth. The built-in magnet is standard - clip a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch straight on. For sizing, treat roughly 241 N as the practical working push at 0.5 MPa; vertically that is on the order of 20 kg lifted with a 2:1 margin, from the 41 kgf theoretical figure halved.

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. |
| ×80 | 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 swings a deflector chute to switch grain between two spouts; 402 N at 0.5 MPa turns the chute even against dust-packed residue.
A knuckled rod tips the arm to lift circuit boards from one conveyor to the next; the variable cushion lands each flip gently anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s.
Swings a hold-down arm over a 200 L drum before filling; the stainless body lives happily beside the washdown of the filling heads.
The CA pivot in the back cover takes swinging loads without an extra bracket - fit a rod knuckle (I or Y) on the front and the linkage floats freely. A 25 mm bore gives 245 N at 0.5 MPa if the job is lighter; a 40 mm bore delivers 628 N for heavier frames. Like any double-acting cylinder it drifts once air is dumped, so add a pilot check valve where the load must stay put. Bore 32 uses 1/8" ports.
Quick checklist
Push is 402.2 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa you get 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull, with an 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Bore 32 ports are 1/8", the rod is 12 mm, and speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
The CA cover gives you a pivoting tail out of the box, so a swinging linkage needs only a rod knuckle (I or Y) on the front. If the job instead calls for a fixed body, choose the U flat-end cover or add FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot hardware. The magnet is already inside, so a CMSG or DMSG switch snaps on for position signals.
