About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X30SCA
The AirTAC MBL32X30SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It generates 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for short 30 mm actuation tasks. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body light and small, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder. A heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease internally for long service life.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. It also features a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection via CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. The Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X30SCA Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Drives a short 30 mm plunge on a PCB depaneling router, using the 402 N push force to lower the cutting bit precisely into the board.
Pouch Packaging Flap
Actuates a pivoting flap mechanism on a vertical form-fill-seal machine, leveraging the CA clevis mount to swing the gate and divert filled pouches.
Lab Sample Ejection
Ejects processed microtiter plates from a centrifuge carousel, using the DMSG electronic sensor to confirm the 30 mm retraction stroke before the rotor spins.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X30SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need slightly less force, the MBL25 variant provides 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MBL40 yields 628 N for heavier loads. Because this cylinder uses a fixed rubber bumper, choose the MBLC variant if your application requires an adjustable air cushion for faster cycling or heavier moving masses. Keep in mind that a plain MBL does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or exhausted; the rod will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is critical.
This exact configuration matches a 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and an integrated magnet. The short 30 mm stroke keeps side-load stress minimal, but always ensure the CA clevis pin is aligned to prevent rod-bearing wear.
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 MBL32X30SCA 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. It has a 30 mm stroke and operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
No, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts and cannot be adjusted. If your application requires adjustable air cushioning for heavier loads or faster speeds, you should select the MBLC variant instead.
