About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X200U
The AirTAC MBL32X200U is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces where traditional profile cylinders cannot fit. At 32mm bore, it provides a practical 402N push force at 0.5MPa over a 200mm stroke, making it suitable for mid-range actuation tasks. The aluminum barrel is riveted and rolling-packed, permanently crimping the covers to the tube for a lightweight footprint, though this construction means it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod body.
This specific configuration includes a U flat-end back cover for rigid, fixed mounting. It lacks the -S suffix, meaning no built-in magnet is present and a position sensor cannot be fitted. To absorb end-of-stroke impact, the base MBL relies on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. The Ø12mm piston rod is carbon steel with a 20µm hard-chrome plating, paired with a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for extended operational life.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X200U Is Used
PCB Shuttle Ejector
Pushes populated PCB panels out of a pick-and-place shuttle lane using 402N of force, fitting easily into the tight 32mm pitch between conveyor rails.
IC Test Socket Clamp
Actuates a 200mm travel lever to open and close automated test handler sockets, utilizing the rigid U flat-end cover to maintain a fixed pivot base.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds minor flaps on small pharmaceutical cartons during continuous packaging runs, where the 30-800mm/s speed range matches servo indexing.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X200U the Right Cylinder?
If 402N at 0.5MPa is too much force, step down to the 25mm bore neighbor, which yields 245N push. If your application requires more thrust, step up to the 40mm bore, which provides 628N push at the same pressure. Because this is a 200mm stroke on a mini cylinder, the unsupported Ø12mm rod has a low side-load tolerance; an external guide rail is recommended to prevent rod-bearing bending if the load is not purely axial. For faster or heavier moves requiring end-deceleration, select the MBLC variant for its adjustable air cushion. Note that the fixed rubber bumper softens impact but does not lock the rod; if the load must be held without live air pressure, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This SKU uses a G1/8 port, PT thread form, and U flat-end back cover.
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 MBL32X200U FAQ
The 32mm bore provides 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa, 563N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. The port size is G1/8.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, so it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch. Additionally, it uses a fixed rubber bumper at the end of stroke; for adjustable air cushioning, you must use the MBLC variant.
