About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X100-CA
The AirTAC MBL32X100-CA is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces where a larger profile cylinder will not fit. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa over a 100 mm stroke. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the front and rear covers directly to the tube, yielding a lightweight, compact body that is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. Because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The 12 mm carbon-steel piston rod features 20 um hard-chrome plating for wear resistance, and the heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for a long service life.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X100-CA Is Used
PCB Router Swing Arm
Drives a pivoting routing head on a desktop PCB depaneling machine, using the CA clevis to absorb angular movement while applying 402 N of cutting pressure.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds corrugated cardboard flaps on a compact packaging line, where the 100 mm stroke provides the exact travel needed and the riveted aluminum body saves space.
IC Test Socket Clamp
Secures an integrated circuit test socket during automated electrical probing, using the 346 N pull force to maintain contact without damaging the silicon.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X100-CA the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore generates 402 N of push force. If your assembly needs less force, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push); if you require more clamping power, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push). Since this is a 100 mm stroke, keep an eye on side-load tolerance—the small 12 mm rod has low bending resistance, so utilizing the CA pivot back cover with an SDB bracket or adding an external guide is highly recommended to prevent premature wear.
This base MBL model relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts; it is not an adjustable air cushion (choose the MBLC variant for that feature). Additionally, the bumper is not a locking mechanism—if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, the rod will drift and drop. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be held in place without live pressure. Replacement match: 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, no magnet.
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 MBL32X100-CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the MBL32X100-CA provides 402 N push and 346 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N, with a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot support a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.
The CA back cover is a pivot (clevis) type that allows the cylinder to swing on a pin, making it ideal for arcing loads. For cushioning, this base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impacts; it does not have an adjustable air cushion (you would need the MBLC variant for that).
