The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF32X450S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 450mm 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 450 mm of travel on a 32 mm bore, MARF32X450S handles long push, pull and lift jobs in a compact riveted round body. Air drives it both ways, a variable cushion smooths each end, and the front flange is built into the cover - no add-on bracket to order. Rated thrust is 402 N out and 345.6 N back at 0.5 MPa, so plan continuous loads around 241 N.
Vertically the rod will support about 41 kg at 0.5 MPa; size real lifts at roughly 20 kg to keep a 2:1 margin. The stainless tube and 20 um hard-chrome plated rod stand up to washdown better than painted alternatives, and the standard piston magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches anywhere along the 450 mm run.

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.

|---|---|
| F | Front-cover mount: F = front-flange mounting. |
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×450 | 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 (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.
Raises the interlock gate roughly 20 kg vertically with margin; the 450 mm travel clears tall skids and the cushion lands the gate without a bang.
Sweeps cartons across a full lane in one move; external guide rails carry the side load so the 12 mm rod stays straight over 450 mm.
Slides the door open the full 450 mm; DMSG switches at each end confirm door status before the spindle is allowed to start.
If 50 mm less travel still works, the 450 mm sibling offers the identical 402 N force class; for more muscle, the 40 mm bore gives 628 N at 0.5 MPa and for lighter duties the 25 mm bore makes 245 N. Over a 450 mm stroke, side loads bend rods - carry the load on external guides or an I knuckle on the M10x1.25 thread. Without air the rod freewheels, so specify a rod lock where position must survive a pressure loss. No separate flange or foot is needed since the mount is integral.
Quick checklist
Thrust does not change with travel: 402 N extend, 345.6 N retract at 0.5 MPa; 563 N extend, 483.8 N retract at 0.7 MPa; 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Keep supply within 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Needle screws in both covers throttle exhaust at the stroke ends. On first run close them slightly and bleed them open until a load moving up to 800 mm/s stops firmly but without slam - that is the whole tuning job.
