About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X150SCA
The AirTAC MBL32X150SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered to deliver 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. With a 150 mm stroke and a CA pivot back cover, this genuine AirTAC unit is built specifically for mechanisms requiring arcing or angular movement rather than rigid straight-line pushing. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and small for tight machine cavities, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for non-contact position detection using CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensor switches. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact rather than an adjustable air cushion. The carbon-steel piston rod features 20 um hard-chrome plating for high wear resistance, while the heterogeneous two-way piston seal actively retains grease for a long, low-maintenance service life.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X150SCA Is Used
Pick-and-Place Arms
Drives the swing motion of small pneumatic pick-and-place arms in electronics assembly, using the CA pivot to accommodate the arcing tool path while providing 402 N of push force.
Sorting Diverter Gates
Actuates lightweight diverter gates on conveyor sorting lines, where the 150 mm stroke moves packages between lanes and the built-in magnet tracks gate position via a DMSG sensor.
PCB Component Insertion
Powers the angular pressing mechanism for through-hole component insertion on PCB manufacturing lines, fitting into compact robotic cells where larger cylinders cannot fit.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X150SCA the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down to the 25 mm bore reduces your 0.5 MPa push force to 245 N, whereas moving up to the 40 mm bore increases it to 628 N. If your application needs softer end-of-stroke deceleration for faster cycling, select the MBLC variant which features an adjustable air cushion instead of this model's fixed rubber bumper. For single-acting push or pull operations, the MSBL and MTBL series are the correct alternatives.
Because this is a 150 mm stroke, the Ø12 mm rod has limited side-load tolerance; long unsupported strokes on mini cylinders can bend the rod bearing. The CA pivot back cover helps by allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin, absorbing angular misalignment. Remember that a plain MBL cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the rod will drift. Use an external pilot-operated check valve or rod lock for position holding. Replacement match: 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA back cover, no mounting accessory, with magnet (-S).
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 MBL32X150SCA 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 is 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impact. If your arcing load requires adjustable deceleration for faster cycle speeds, you must step up to the MBLC variant, which features an adjustable air cushion.
