About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X60CA
The AirTAC MBL32X60CA 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 60 mm linear actuation tasks like small component ejection or swinging gates. Unlike standardized ISO 6432 bodies, this unit features a riveted rolling-packed barrel where the front and back covers are crimped directly to the tube, ensuring a lightweight footprint that is not designed to be disassembled.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing freely on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. The Ø12 mm carbon steel piston rod is protected by a 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear resistance, while a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for extended operational life. Note that this base MBL model lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X60CA Is Used
Pick-and-Place Swivel Arms
The CA clevis back cover pairs perfectly with arcing robotic arms, using the 402 N push force to swing lightweight electronic component trays between processing stations.
Package Sorting Diverters
Ideal for tight conveyor layouts, the 60 mm stroke rapidly pushes small parcels off a main belt, with the pivot mount absorbing lateral stress during the redirect.
Textile Bobbin Ejection
Provides reliable 346 N pull force to extract full yarn bobbins from winding spindles, fitting into the narrow spacing of textile machinery.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X60CA the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa; conversely, upgrading to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. This 32 mm bore uses a G1/8 port with a PT tapered thread form and an M10x1.25 rod-end. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, you cannot mount a sensor switch directly to it for end-of-stroke detection.
The base MBL relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact, which is not an adjustable air cushion—if you need precise end-deceleration for heavier moving masses, select the MBLC variant. Furthermore, this cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or exhausted; the rod will drift. Use an external pilot-operated check valve or rod lock if gravity or dynamic loads require position holding without live pressure.
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 MBL32X60CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N push and 346 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 563 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at a speed of 30-800 mm/s.
No. The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb impact, not an adjustable air cushion (for that, choose the MBLC variant). Additionally, this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches cannot be fitted for position detection.
