About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X150U
The AirTAC MBL32X150U is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 346 N at 0.5 MPa, making this 150 mm stroke variant well-suited for mid-range linear actuation where footprint matters. The rear U flat-end cover provides a rigid, fixed mounting base for straightforward inline installation.
Unlike tie-rod bodies, this cylinder uses a riveted rolling-packed barrel where the covers are crimped to the tube, creating a lightweight, permanently sealed unit not designed for field disassembly. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X150U Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Pushes the separator blade on an electronic PCB depaneling router, using the 402 N push force to cleanly slice 1.6 mm thick FR4 boards without stressing surrounding SMD components.
Package Sorting Diverter
Extends a lightweight aluminum flap on a conveyor belt sorting station, using the 150 mm stroke to push small poly-mailer parcels into a secondary packing chute.
Diagnostic Cartridge Loader
Advances a plastic microfluidic cartridge into a clinical diagnostic reader, where the compact riveted aluminum body fits easily within the machine's densely packed testing bay.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X150U the Right Cylinder?
Select the 32 mm bore when your application requires approximately 400 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push); if you need more, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push). This model features a G1/8 port, an M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and a default PT tapered port thread. The U flat-end back cover suits rigid fixed mounting, and no magnet is present.
Since the 150 mm stroke is substantial for a mini cylinder, the Ø12 mm rod has limited side-load tolerance. Use an external guide rail to prevent rod-bearing bending under offset loads. Note that the fixed rubber bumper softens impact but does not lock the rod; if the air supply drops, the cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load without a pilot-operated check valve. For faster cycling with heavier loads, consider the MBLC variant which adds adjustable air cushioning.
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 MBL32X150U FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N, with a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at a speed of 30-800 mm/s.
No. This base MBL model uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impact, not an adjustable air cushion (you would need the MBLC variant for that). Additionally, because this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic position sensors.
