About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X30U
The AirTAC MBL32X30U is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. At 32mm bore and 30mm stroke, it provides 402N push and 346N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The U flat-end back cover provides a rigid, fixed rear mounting surface, which is ideal for straightforward in-line actuation tasks.
This model features a riveted rolling-packed barrel where the covers are crimped to the tube, ensuring a lightweight, compact footprint that is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder. Inside, a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life, and the carbon-steel rod features 20μm hard-chrome plating for wear resistance. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X30U Is Used
PCB Router Clamping
Secures small printed circuit boards inside a CNC depaneling router, using its 402N push force to hold panels steady against cutting vibration.
Connector Insertion
Drives a 30mm stroke to press pin headers into electronic modules, fitting easily into dense automated tester fixtures.
Carton Flap Folding
Tucks minor flaps on small pharmaceutical cartons prior to sealing, benefiting from the rigid U flat-end rear mount.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X30U the Right Cylinder?
For slightly lower force, step down to the 25mm bore (245N push at 0.5 MPa); if you need more power, step up to the 40mm bore (628N push at 0.5 MPa). The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact; for adjustable air cushioning to handle faster cycling or heavier loads, select the MBLC variant. This cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe position holding. Replacement match: 32mm bore, 30mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U flat-end 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 MBL32X30U FAQ
This 32mm bore cylinder delivers 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 between 30-800 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, meaning it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. You must select an MBL32X30SU model if position detection is required.
