About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X200-CA
The AirTAC MBL32X200-CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces where a larger profile body cannot fit. It delivers a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 346 N at 0.5 MPa, making this 32mm bore, 200mm stroke unit well-suited for mid-range actuation across a 200mm travel distance. As a genuine AirTAC component, it features a riveted rolling-packed barrel where the front and rear covers are crimped directly to the tube, ensuring a lightweight footprint that is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that swings on a pin to safely accommodate arcing and angular loads during the 200mm extension. Because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The piston utilizes a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long service life, while the carbon-steel rod features 20 um hard-chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance. End-of-stroke impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X200-CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide Arm
Actuates a pivoting guide arm on a textile weaving loom, using the 402N push force and CA clevis to manage the angular sweep of yarn tensioners across the 200mm travel path.
Packaging Flap Folder
Folds corrugated cardboard carton flaps on a continuous flow packaging line, where the compact aluminum riveted body fits between narrow conveyor belts and pivots smoothly under load.
Bottling Line Diverter
Pushes glass bottles onto a parallel reject conveyor at a bottling plant, utilizing the 346N pull force to retract the diverter arm quickly out of the main product stream.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X200-CA the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, step down to the 25mm bore which provides 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa; if you need more power, step up to the 40mm bore which yields 628 N. The CA pivot back cover on this unit is specifically chosen for angular loads, pairing well with an SDB pivot bracket. Keep in mind that a plain MBL does not hold its position or load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the rod will drift or drop, as the rubber bumper only softens end-of-stroke impact and acts neither as a lock nor a brake.
At 200mm of stroke, the Ø12mm piston rod is highly susceptible to bending under side-load. To manage this, ensure an external guide supports the load, rely on the CA pivot to absorb angular stress, or switch to the MBLD double-rod type for anti-rotation. If your cycle times generate too much end-cap shock for the fixed rubber bumper, upgrade to the MBLC variant which features an adjustable air cushion. This SKU uses a G1/8 port with PT thread form, an M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and no built-in 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 MBL32X200-CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force. 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. Because this specific MBL32X200-CA SKU does not include the -S suffix for a built-in magnet, a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch cannot be fitted. To use solid-state or reed switches for rod position detection, select the -S magnet variant of this bore size.
