About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X60SU
The AirTAC MBL32X60SU 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, making it well-suited for mid-range clamping and ejection tasks over its 60 mm stroke. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the overall footprint small and lightweight, though the crimped construction means it is not designed to be disassembled and rebuilt like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU includes a U flat-end back cover for rigid, fixed mounting and a built-in magnet (-S) for non-contact position detection. The magnet is fully compatible with AirTAC CMSG reed switches, as well as DMSG and EMSG electronic solid-state sensors. Internally, a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life, while the carbon-steel piston rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for excellent wear and corrosion resistance.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X60SU Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Providing 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 60 mm stroke cylinder reliably knocks small plastic parts out of tight injection mold cavities where space is highly restricted.
PCB Test Fixture Clamping
The built-in magnet pairs with DMSG solid-state sensors to confirm clamping pressure on delicate circuit boards, while the U flat-end cover ensures a rigid, zero-flex rear mount.
Carton Flap Folding
A compact 32 mm bore body easily fits between conveyor rails to actively fold secondary packaging flaps, using its 346 N pull force to retract quickly in double-acting mode.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X60SU the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. Because this base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, choose the MBLC variant if your application involves heavier moving masses that require end-of-stroke deceleration tuning. For single-direction spring-return tasks, consider the MSBL or MTBL single-acting models.
This cylinder features a G1/8 port, a Ø12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread, a PT port thread form, and a U flat-end back cover. Note that the fixed rubber bumper only softens end-stroke impact; it does not act as a lock. If the load must be held in place without live air pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to prevent drifting or dropping.
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 MBL32X60SU FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
No, the base MBL32X60SU uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact and cannot be adjusted. If you need tunable deceleration for heavier loads, you must select the MBLC variant, which features an adjustable air cushion.
