The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU32X100S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm 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 402 N of push and 345.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, the MARU32X100S covers mid-range clamping and pushing jobs in a compact round body. AirTAC rivets a stainless-steel barrel to aluminium-alloy covers over a hard-chrome plated rod (20 um), so it shrugs off mild corrosion and washdown far better than painted-steel minis in damp or food-line spots.
Motion is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, so faster strokes stop without pounding the covers, and it bolts down through its own integrated top (U) bracket - no separate flange or foot to buy. At 0.5 MPa, plan for about 241 N of real work rather than the full 402 N rating, and the bore 32 package lifts about 20 kg vertically once you keep a 2:1 margin. The piston magnet ships standard, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

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.
Drives the pusher finger that sweeps snack cartons off a takeaway belt into a reject lane; 100 mm of travel clears the lane width and 402 N push at 0.5 MPa moves the stream without stalling.
Crimps spade terminals onto wire harnesses in a small workholding; 402 N at 0.5 MPa (563 N at 0.7 MPa) suits light-gauge terminals, and the variable cushion stops the die without bounce.
Folds and tucks the end flaps on e-commerce mailer boxes ahead of the taping head; the 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the tuck horn clear before the next carton indexes.
Compare bores by real force: the bore 25 MAR manages 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, this bore 32 gives 402.2 N, and stepping up to bore 40 buys 628.3 N. Keep about 241 N as the practical working push at 0.5 MPa, and note the MAR will not hold position if air is lost - the rod drifts, so a rod lock is needed for parked loads. The integral top bracket removes the need for an add-on flange, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the bore 32 piston pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; raise supply to 0.7 MPa and those become 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull; the theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
The barrel is stainless steel with aluminium-alloy covers rolled on, and the carbon-steel rod is hard-chrome plated to 20 um - a combination that resists mild corrosion and routine washdown far better than painted or bare-aluminium mini cylinders. It is a round-body riveted design, not a tie-rod unit.
