About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X175-CA
The AirTAC MBL32X175-CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It generates 402 N push and 346 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, making this 175 mm stroke variant well-suited for mid-range part ejection and linear indexing. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the front and rear covers directly to the tube, yielding a lightweight footprint that is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod body.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing and angular loads during movement. Because it lacks the -S suffix, this configuration cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The carbon-steel piston rod is hardened with 20 µm chrome plating for wear resistance, while the internal two-way piston seal retains grease for a long service life. End-of-stroke impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X175-CA Is Used
Packaging Diverters
Swings a routing flap on a 175 mm arc to push small parcels between conveyor lanes using 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Textile Loom Guides
Pivots the yarn tensioning arm on a pin via the CA clevis, absorbing angular rod stress during rapid 30-800 mm/s oscillation.
Bin Gate Release
Pulls a slide gate open with 346 N of pull force to drop small plastic fasteners from a tight hopper bulkhead.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X175-CA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push @0.5 MPa); if your application requires more power, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push @0.5 MPa). Choose the MBLC variant if your cycle speed demands an adjustable air cushion rather than the fixed rubber bumper found here, or select the MSBL/MTBL models for single-acting push or pull functions.
When air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, this cylinder cannot hold its load and the rod will drift downward. The bumper only softens end-of-stroke impact and is not a mechanical lock. At 175 mm stroke, the Ø12 mm rod has limited side-load tolerance; for unsupported lengths, utilize the CA pivot mount to absorb angular stress, add an external guide, or switch to the MBLD double-rod cylinder to prevent rod bearing bending.
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 MBL32X175-CA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder delivers 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The port size is G1/8.
No. The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact (the MBLC variant offers adjustable air cushion). Additionally, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic position sensors.
