The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X90SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 90mm 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 the CM round-end back cover, the rod side of this 32 mm cylinder can sit in a clevis or pin joint without adapter plates - handy for lever linkages that want a little self-alignment. The round stainless barrel is rolled onto aluminium covers and carries a hard-chrome rod, so splash and humidity do not eat the body the way they do painted minis.
It is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends; open the needle screws on start-up, then close them in to tame end-of-stroke impact. At 0.5 MPa the bore pushes 402.2 N and retracts with 345.6 N - divided by gravity and halved, that lifts about 20 kg vertically. The magnet is factory-fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches drop onto the barrel for position feedback.

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.

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.

Between the 25 mm (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 40 mm (628.3 N), the 32 mm bore hits the mid-range sweet spot for linkage forces. Note that with air lost the rod simply drifts - a pilot check valve or rod lock is the fix if the lever must stay parked. Match the CM round end to a clevis or knuckle (I and Y rod accessories fit the M10x1.25 thread); FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets handle fixed frames. Air ports are 1/8 inch.
Quick checklist
The cylinder delivers 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa those climb to 563.0 N and 483.8 N, and the theoretical ceiling is 82.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed range is 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um.
The barrel is stainless steel and the 12 mm piston rod is hard-chrome plated to about 20 um, so splash, humidity and mild washdown will not peel a coating the way painted-steel minis suffer. The aluminium covers are rolled onto the tube, sealing the joint without extra fasteners.
