The AirTAC MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF32X15S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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.
At just 15 mm of stroke, the MARF32X15S is the compact pick in AirTAC's MAR family: a double-acting round-body mini cylinder with a variable air cushion at both ends and a front-flange bracket rolled into the covers. The stainless barrel and 20 um hard-chrome plated rod shrug off washdown and damp shop air that eats painted mini cylinders.
Bore 32 delivers 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563.0 N push at 0.7 MPa. A magnet is fitted as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without special ordering.

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.
| MAR | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, integrated mount, variable cushion). |

| F | Front-cover mount: F = front-flange mounting. |
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×15 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (double rod, 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.
A 15 mm clamp stroke pushing a toggle arm with about 241 N of working force holds aluminium housings steady through a drilling cycle.
The short-stroke ejector nudges finished cartons off the belt, and the variable cushion takes the snap out of each end stop.
The stainless barrel tolerates the wipe-downs used around analytical instruments while the 12 mm chrome rod presses sample vials home.
For 15 mm moves this bore is generous - a MARF25X15S (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) covers lighter clamps, while MARF40X15S (628.3 N) adds reserve for stiff tooling. Like any non-locked cylinder, the piston drifts if the air supply drops, so add a rod lock where the position must persist. The front flange bolts straight to the fixture, I and Y knuckles still fit the 12 mm rod, and the 1/8" port keeps plumbing tight.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa the push rises to 563.0 N. The theoretical ceiling is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore 32 package takes a 1/8" port, drives a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread, and runs 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air.
Yes - the variable cushion at both ends is set with its needle screws on first run so the short stroke ends without rattle. Every MARF32X15S ships with the magnet built in, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches mount directly on the stainless barrel.
