About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X30CA
The AirTAC MBL32X30CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. At 32mm bore and 30mm stroke, it generates 402N push and 346N pull force at 0.5 MPa. This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads during movement. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the footprint small and lightweight, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder.
Internally, the cylinder relies on a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for long service life, paired with a carbon-steel piston rod featuring 20μm hard-chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance. This particular model lacks the -S suffix, meaning it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X30CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide Arms
Drives pivoting guide arms on textile looms where the CA clevis back cover absorbs angular motion and the 402N force firmly tensions yarn threads.
Packaging Flap Folders
Folds cardboard flaps on compact packaging lines, utilizing the short 30mm stroke and fixed rubber bumper to cycle rapidly at up to 800 mm/s.
PCB Shuttle Pusher
Indexes populated PCB trays into testing stations, fitting into narrow conveyor gaps where larger ISO 15552 profile cylinders cannot fit.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X30CA the Right Cylinder?
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N. Choose the 40mm or the MBLC variant if your application requires adjustable air cushioning for heavier moving masses. Because this base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper, it does not hold position or load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is critical. Replacement match: 32mm bore, 30mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, no 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 MBL32X30CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder provides 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds ranging from 30 to 800 mm/s.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact absorption; for adjustable air cushioning, you must select the MBLC variant.
