About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X175SCA
The AirTAC MBL32X175SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force across its 175 mm stroke, making it well suited for mid-range actuation tasks. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the front and rear covers directly to the tube, creating an exceptionally light assembly that is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod body.
This specific SKU includes a built-in -S magnet, enabling position detection via AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG and EMSG solid-state sensor switches. It also features a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing freely on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. The Ø12 mm carbon-steel piston rod is protected with a 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion, while the heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for a long service life.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X175SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Let-Off
Uses the 175 mm stroke and CA pivot to maintain tension on yarn guides, absorbing angular webbing movements while applying 402 N of consistent clamping force.
Package Sorting Diverter
Swings a lightweight routing gate on a packaging line, where the built-in -S magnet triggers a DMSG solid-state sensor to confirm parcel diversion.
Bottle Capper Head
Extends to press threaded caps onto containers, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the end-of-stroke impact and prevent glass breakage.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X175SCA the Right Cylinder?
This 32 mm bore generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push force; if you need more power, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. The 175 mm stroke moves a small Ø12 mm rod, so at this length an external guide is recommended to prevent rod-bearing bending under side loads. The CA pivot back cover on this unit helps safely absorb angular forces during arcing motions. For applications requiring faster cycling with heavier loads, consider the MBLC variant which adds an adjustable air cushion to reduce end-of-stroke impact. Note that the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper instead of an adjustable cushion, and it will not hold a load if air pressure is lost—use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is required. This exact replacement matches: 32 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G1/8 port with PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and an -S 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 MBL32X175SCA 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 increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf when operated at the 1.0 MPa pressure limit.
No, the base MBL features a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion. If your application requires adjustable end-of-stroke deceleration for heavier moving loads, you should select the MBLC variant.
