About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X150-CA
The AirTAC MBL32X150-CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force across its 150 mm stroke. The riveted rolling-packed barrel design keeps the body light and small, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder. This specific SKU features a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads during movement.
Internal mechanics include a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for long service life, paired with a carbon-steel rod featuring 20 μm hard-chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion. Because this configuration lacks the -S suffix for a built-in magnet, a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor cannot be fitted to this particular unit.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X150-CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guiding
Uses the 402 N pull force and CA pivot bracket to smoothly swing and guide yarn carriers along arcing paths within a compact weaving machine.
Packaging Diverter Arm
Leverages the 150 mm stroke to push small cardboard cartons off a high-speed packaging conveyor where space is highly restricted.
PCB Component Pusher
Actuates a low-profile routing gate on an electronics assembly line, utilizing the lightweight aluminum body to minimize moving mass.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X150-CA the Right Cylinder?
This 32 mm bore provides 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; if your application requires less force, step down to the 25 mm bore offering 245 N, or step up to the 40 mm bore providing 628 N for heavier payloads. For applications needing end-of-stroke speed regulation, upgrade to the MBLC variant which features an adjustable air cushion instead of the standard fixed rubber bumper. If you need single-direction spring return, consider the MSBL or MTBL single-acting series.
With a 150 mm stroke, the Ø12 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads; the CA pivot back cover on this unit helps mitigate angular stress, but an external guide or the MBLD double-rod anti-rotation type is recommended for strict linear loads. A plain MBL does not hold its position or load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centred—the rod will drift. To suspend a load safely without live pressure, utilize an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Direct replacement requires matching the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA back cover, and 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 MBL32X150-CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 346 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it does not have a built-in magnet and cannot accommodate CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. You must select an MBL32X150S-CA variant if position detection is required.
