About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X10-CA
The AirTAC MBL32X10-CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. With a 32mm bore and 10mm stroke, it generates 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The CA pivot clevis back cover allows the cylinder to swing on a pin, making it ideal for arcing or angular load applications where a rigid flat-end mount would bind.
This model features a riveted rolling-packed barrel where the covers are crimped to the tube, ensuring a lightweight footprint but meaning it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable cushion. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot support a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X10-CA Is Used
Pick-and-Place Arcs
Ideal for small robotic arms executing 10mm pick-and-place arcs, using the CA clevis to swing parts into packaging chutes without binding.
Diverter Flap Control
Drives short-throw diverter gates on conveyor lines, where the 402N thrust at 0.5 MPa easily overcomes flap friction and product weight.
Carton Flap Folding
Folds lightweight cardboard flaps on compact case-sealing machinery, utilizing the 10mm stroke and pivot mount for tight clearance.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X10-CA the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose the 40mm if your arcing load requires more thrust, or the 25mm to save weight. If your mechanism needs adjustable end-speed control rather than a fixed rubber bumper, select the MBLC variant. For spring-return operations, look at the MSBL or MTBL single-acting lines.
This CA pivot cylinder is a direct replacement match for: 32mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/8 port size, PT port thread, CA pivot back cover, and no magnet. Note that a plain MBL does not hold its load when air pressure is lost; the rod drifts. Use an external pilot-operated check valve if you need position holding without live pressure.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (LB / FA / SDB) and back cover (CA pivot / U flat-end).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X10-CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32mm bore cylinder provides 402N push and 346N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push force increases to 563N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds between 30-800 mm/s.
The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impact and cannot be adjusted; for adjustable air cushioning, you need the MBLC variant. Additionally, because this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches for position detection.
