About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X200SU
The AirTAC MBL32X200SU is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for 200 mm linear positioning tasks in compact assembly machinery. This SKU includes a U flat-end back cover for rigid mounting and a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the covers directly to the aluminum tube, ensuring a lightweight footprint but meaning the body is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
Internal mechanics feature a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for long service life, paired with a carbon-steel piston rod hardened with 20 um of chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. The rod end uses an M10x1.25 thread, and the pneumatic supply connects via a G1/8 port. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion screw. For automated tracking, the integrated magnet interfaces directly with AirTAC CMSG reed switches or DMSG and EMSG solid-state sensors.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X200SU Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Moves a cutting head across 200 mm routing paths on printed circuit boards, utilizing the 402 N thrust to maintain stable tool pressure within a dense electronics manufacturing cell.
Carton Flap Folder
Actuates a folding arm on a compact packaging conveyor to close minor product flaps, relying on the U flat-end cover for rigid rear anchoring against lateral packaging resistance.
Lab Tube Rack Loader
Transfers empty test tube racks into a centrifuge loading dock over a 200 mm travel distance, using the integrated -S magnet to trigger a DMSG solid-state sensor for precise handoff positioning.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X200SU the Right Cylinder?
This 32 mm bore strikes a balance between compact size and mid-range thrust. If you need less force, step down to the 25 mm bore which provides 245 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires heavier lifting, step up to the 40 mm bore which yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. Because this is a 200 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads—use an external guide rail, select a CA pivot back cover for arcing movements, or switch to an MBLD double-rod cylinder to prevent jamming.
The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact but does not lock the rod. If air pressure drops or the valve is centered, the load will drift or drop; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position must be maintained without live pressure. For higher kinetic energy loads at faster cycle speeds, upgrade to the MBLC variant which features an adjustable air cushion. Replacement match: 32 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U flat-end back cover, no mounting accessory, with -S magnet.

- ✓ 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 MBL32X200SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 563 N, and the maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The double-acting speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
No, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact, not an adjustable air cushion (which requires the MBLC variant). Additionally, it does not hold position if air pressure is lost; the rod will drift or drop, requiring an external rod lock for load holding.
