The AirTAC Airtac MARU Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MARU32X180S is a genuine double acting + cushion (up mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 180mm 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 180 mm of travel on a 32 mm bore, the MARU32X180S gives you 402 N of push and 346 N of pull at 0.5 MPa - 563 N if you run 0.7 MPa - in a double-acting package with an adjustable cushion at each end. AirTAC rolls the aluminium covers and stainless block onto the barrel itself, sealing the round body with no external fasteners.
The up-mount bracket is part of the front cover, so a single bolt circle lands the cylinder on your machine - no loose flange to order. The stainless tube and 20 um hard-chrome rod shake off splash and condensation, while the built-in piston magnet takes CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches out of the box. Treat roughly 241 N as your practical push at 0.5 MPa - about six tenths of the 402 N rating - and vertical picks under 20 kg stay inside a 2:1 margin.

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). |

| U | Front-cover mount: U = up (top) mounting. |
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×180 | 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.
Swinging on its top bracket, the MAR flicks reject packs off a conveyor; 402 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for a light carton at line speed.
The 180 mm stroke retracts the strap-guide arm clear of the pallet, and adjustable cushions keep the arm from slamming at up to 800 mm/s.
The chromed 12 mm rod and stainless barrel shrug off condensation inside a switchgear enclosure, cycling the latch through its full 180 mm pull.
Compare the 25 mm bore (245 N at 0.5 MPa) for light gates or the 40 mm bore (628 N) for heavy clamping before you commit. If the job must keep position through an air outage, add a rod lock - the cushion damps the stop but the piston still creeps when pressure falls. The 1/8" port keeps plumbing simple, and I or Y rod knuckles screw onto the M10x1.25 nose. Over a 180 mm span, support or guide the load so the 12 mm rod is never bent sideways.
Quick checklist
32 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, 12 mm rod with M10x1.25 male thread, 1/8" air port, double acting with a variable cushion at both ends. Forces: 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 484 N pull at 0.7 MPa, 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa (145 psi). Pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, magnet standard.
The sensing side keeps working - CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches read the magnet wherever the piston sits, even mid-stroke. But the cylinder itself will not hold: drop the air and the rod drifts under load, so add a rod lock where the 180 mm position must be kept through a shutdown.
