About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X50SCA
The AirTAC MBL32X50SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers a robust 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa (563 N at 0.7 MPa) across a 50 mm stroke. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the front and back covers directly to the tube, yielding a lightweight footprint that is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod body.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for rod position detection via CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, and features a CA pivot back cover. The CA clevis allows the cylinder to swing on a pin, making it ideal for arcing or angular loads. The carbon steel piston rod features 20 um hard-chrome plating for wear resistance, and end-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X50SCA Is Used
Pick-and-Place Arcs
Ideal for swinging pick-and-place arms where the CA pivot clevis accommodates the arcing motion while delivering 402 N to transfer small electronic components between conveyor belts.
Pouch Forming Mechanisms
Drives the sealing jaw on compact packaging machinery, using the 50 mm stroke and built-in magnet to confirm jaw position via a DMSG sensor at cycle speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Pushes lightweight routing flaps on sorting lines; the pivot mount absorbs side loads during gate actuation while the 20 um chrome-plated rod resists wear in dusty environments.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X50SCA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when your application requires approximately 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 25 mm bore offering 245 N; if you require more, step up to the 40 mm bore providing 628 N. The CA pivot back cover on this model is specifically designed to accommodate angular displacement during the stroke.
Because the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper, it cannot hold a load or maintain position if 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 required. For faster cycling with heavier loads, consider the MBLC variant which adds an adjustable air cushion. Replacement match: 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA back cover, magnet included.
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 MBL32X50SCA 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 maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a Ø12 mm carbon steel rod with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread.
The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact and does not feature an adjustable cushion screw (you would need the MBLC variant for adjustable air cushioning). However, this SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S), allowing you to mount CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensor switches directly onto the body for position detection.
