About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X15CA
The AirTAC MBL32X15CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers a 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, making this 15 mm stroke unit ideal for short, powerful clamping actions. The riveted rolling-packed barrel permanently crimps the covers to the tube, ensuring a lightweight footprint that is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod body.
This SKU features a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this specific model lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The carbon-steel piston rod features a 20 um hard-chrome plating for wear resistance, paired with a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for a long service life.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X15CA Is Used
Pneumatic Toggle Clamps
Provides 402 N of push force to secure sheet metal stampings in welding fixtures, using the CA pivot to arc the clamp arm smoothly over the part.
Package Flap Folders
Executes rapid 15 mm tucks on carton closing lines, where the compact riveted aluminum body fits neatly between narrow conveyor belts.
PCB Router Ejectors
Kicks small depanelized circuit boards out of routing machines with a fast 30-800 mm/s speed range, absorbing end-stop shock via the fixed rubber bumper.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X15CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32 mm bore when you need more force than the 25 mm variant (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) but have less space than a 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) requires. The CA clevis mount is optimal for short-stroke pivoting mechanisms, but if your application requires end-position adjustment, consider the MBLJ adjustable-stroke type. Remember that a plain MBL does not hold its position if air pressure is lost; the rod will drift. Use an external pilot-operated check valve if you need true load holding. For exact replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 15 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 MBL32X15CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. You must select an MBL32X15SCA model for position detection.
