About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X350SCA
The AirTAC MBL32X350SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 346 N at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for mid-range actuation across a 350 mm travel distance. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the front and rear covers directly to the tube, creating a lightweight footprint that is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod body.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for rod position detection via AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG and EMSG (electronic) sensor switches. It also features a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. The carbon-steel piston rod is plated with 20 um of hard chrome for wear resistance, while the heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for a long service life.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X350SCA Is Used
Diverting Gate Mechanism
Swings a lightweight routing flap on a packaging conveyor using the 350 mm stroke and CA pivot bracket to accommodate the arc of the moving gate.
Textile Yarn Guide
Traverses a yarn guide carriage across a 350 mm width, relying on the 402 N push force and the DMSG electronic sensor for precise edge positioning.
Carton Push-off Arm
Pushes corrugated cartons off a gravity roller track, utilizing the compact aluminum body to fit within narrow conveyor framework.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X350SCA the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing less force, step down to the 25 mm bore, which provides 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your fixture requires more thrust, step up to the 40 mm bore, offering 628 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose the MBLC variant if your payload requires adjustable air cushioning to soften end-of-stroke impacts, or the MSBL/MTBL models for single-acting push or pull operations.
With a 350 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; always use an external guide rail alongside the CA pivot back cover to prevent rod-bearing damage. Note that the fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact but does not act as a lock. If the load must be held without live air pressure, install an external pilot-operated check valve. Direct replacement parameters: 32 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA back cover, and -S 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 MBL32X350SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull. At 0.7 MPa the push force increases to 563 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
No, the base MBL features a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact, not an adjustable cushion screw. If you need adjustable air cushioning for heavier 350 mm stroke payloads, select the MBLC variant.
