About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X15SCA
The AirTAC MBL32X15SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. At 32mm bore and a short 15mm stroke, it generates 402N push and 346N pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for rapid, small-displacement clamping tasks. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the front and rear covers directly to the tube, yielding a lightweight body that is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod unit.
This specific SKU includes a built-in -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches to confirm rod position, and features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads. The carbon-steel piston rod features a 20 um hard-chrome plating for wear resistance, while the heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for a long service life. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X15SCA Is Used
PCB Router Clamping
Secures printed circuit boards during routing with 402N of force, using the short 15mm stroke to rapidly lock panels without consuming vertical envelope space.
Connector Insertion Press
Provides the precise 15mm linear displacement needed to seat ribbon cable connectors into housings, relying on the CA clevis to self-align with the mating part.
Carton Flap Tucking
Tucks small packaging flaps on automated cartoning lines where the compact riveted aluminum body fits neatly between conveyor guide rails.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X15SCA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32mm bore model when you need 402N of push force at 0.5 MPa but have extreme length restrictions, as the 15mm stroke provides minimal extension. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N; if you need more power, the 40mm bore provides 628N. Because this SKU uses a CA pivot back cover, it is specifically suited for mechanisms requiring angular rod movement during cycling.
The fixed rubber bumper softens end impacts but cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. For applications needing precise end-position tuning or heavier moving masses, consider the MBLC variant which offers adjustable air cushioning. This unit uses a G1/8 port with PT thread form, a Ø12mm rod with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and operates effectively across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
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 MBL32X15SCA FAQ
This 32mm bore cylinder provides 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a Ø12mm rod with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread.
The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper that cannot be adjusted; for adjustable air cushioning, you must specify the MBLC variant. This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) and is compatible with AirTAC CMSG reed switches as well as DMSG and EMSG electronic solid-state sensors.
