About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X225SCA
The AirTAC MBL32X225SCA is a compact 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 mid-range actuation over a 225 mm stroke. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the front and rear covers 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 built-in magnet (-S) for position detection via AirTAC CMSG (reed), DMSG, or EMSG (electronic solid-state) sensor switches. It is fitted with a CA pivot back cover, allowing the body to swing on a pin to safely accommodate arcing or angular loads. The Ø12 mm carbon-steel piston rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for high wear and corrosion resistance, paired with a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for 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 MBL32X225SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Actuates a traversing yarn guide over a 225 mm path. The CA pivot back cover absorbs frame misalignment, while the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa firmly shifts the mechanism.
PCB Shuttle Transfer
Indexes populated printed circuit board trays between inspection lanes. The -S magnet triggers a DMSG solid-state switch to confirm the extended home position.
Semiconductor Cassette Tilter
Pushes a wafer cassette cradle through an arcing motion. The CA clevis allows the cylinder to swing on its pin, preventing side-load binding during the 225 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X225SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For heavier lifting, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. The 225 mm stroke on this Ø12 mm rod requires careful side-load management; long unsupported mini rods bend easily under lateral stress. Use an external guide mechanism alongside the CA pivot back cover, or switch to an MBLD double-rod cylinder for anti-rotation support.
Because the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper, it cannot be tuned for end-of-stroke deceleration. Choose the MBLC variant if your application requires adjustable air cushioning for faster cycling or heavier masses. Remember that this cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure is lost; the rod drifts if the valve is centered or exhausted. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be safely suspended without live pressure. Replacement match: 32 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA back cover, no mounting accessory specified, built-in 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 MBL32X225SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push force increases to 563 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
No, the base MBL32X225SCA uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact; it does not have an adjustable cushion screw. If your setup requires tunable air cushioning for heavier loads or faster speeds, you must select the MBLC variant.
