About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X350-CA
The AirTAC MBL32X350-CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers a push force of 402 N and pull force of 346 N at 0.5 MPa, making this 350 mm stroke variant well-suited for elevating or shifting moderate loads across automated equipment. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the front and rear covers permanently crimped to the tube, yielding a lightweight body that is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover, allowing the cylinder to swing smoothly on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. Because it lacks the -S suffix, this configuration cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The carbon-steel piston rod features a 20 um hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion, paired with a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for a long service life.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X350-CA Is Used
Textile Loom Tensioning
Uses the 350 mm stroke and 402 N push force to maintain consistent tension on yarn guides, with the CA pivot absorbing the angular weave motion.
Parcel Diverter Arm
Extends a sorting gate in tight distribution center spaces, relying on the 346 N pull force to retract the arm swiftly between packages.
Vertical Tray Elevator
Lifts stacked component trays between conveyor tiers, where the compact riveted aluminum body saves critical machine footprint.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X350-CA the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32 mm bore provides 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N; conversely, moving up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N for heavier payloads. Because this is a 350 mm stroke, the Ø12 mm rod has low side-load tolerance and can bend under misalignment—rely on the CA pivot back cover, an external guide, or switch to an MBLD double-rod anti-rotation type to prevent rod-bearing damage.
The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact rather than an adjustable air cushion; choose the MBLC variant if you need adjustable cushioning for faster, heavier moves. Note that a plain MBL does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred—the rod will drift and drop. To lock a suspended load safely without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This SKU uses a G1/8 port with PT thread form, an M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and a CA 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 MBL32X350-CA 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 force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
No, because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impacts, not an adjustable air cushion. You must upgrade to the MBLC variant for adjustable air cushioning.
