About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X10SCA
The AirTAC MBL32X10SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. Delivering 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore unit is tailored for very short 10 mm arcing movements. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body light and small but is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder. The carbon-steel piston rod features a 20 um hard-chrome plating for wear resistance.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for compatibility with AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (electronic) sensor switches to track rod position. The CA pivot back cover allows the cylinder to swing on a pin, making it ideal for angular loads. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X10SCA Is Used
PCB Component Insertion
Uses the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa to press small connectors onto PCBs within compact electronics assembly machinery.
Packaging Flap Folding
The CA pivot back cover swings on a pin to arc the 10 mm stroke, folding carton flaps accurately at high speeds.
Sensor Probe Actuation
Leverages the built-in magnet with a DMSG electronic switch to trigger a testing probe in tight semiconductor inspection jigs.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X10SCA the Right Cylinder?
For lower force needs, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push @0.5 MPa); for higher force, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push @0.5 MPa). If your short-stroke application requires adjustable end-positioning, consider the MBLJ variant, or switch to the MSBL/MTBL single-acting models if you only need a push or pull action. The standard MBL does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the rod will drift. Use an external pilot-operated check valve if position must be maintained.
Replacement match: 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, magnet included. No mounting accessory is specified, so pair it with an SDB pivot bracket to utilize the CA clevis. The 12 mm rod handles short strokes well, but long unsupported strokes need external guides.
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 MBL32X10SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact. You must use the MBLC variant if you need an adjustable air cushion for heavier or faster loads.
