About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X60U
The AirTAC MBL32X60U is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for 60 mm mid-stroke actuation on small assembly machinery. The U flat-end back cover provides a rigid rear mount for straightforward fixed-plane installations.
Unlike tie-rod ISO cylinders built for rebuilds, this unit features a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel crimped to the covers, minimizing weight and footprint. It relies on a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for long service life, while the carbon steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion screw. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X60U Is Used
PCB Router Gantry
Shifts a light pick-and-place nozzle carriage 60 mm along an electronics assembly line, utilizing the 402 N push force to overcome guide friction without stalling.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds secondary packaging flaps on a compact filling machine where the 346 N pull stroke securely tucks cardboard without crushing the product.
Lab Vial Sorter
Diverts small glass vials into testing lanes using a rigid U flat-end mount that prevents deflection during rapid 30-800 mm/s cycling.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X60U the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa); if moving heavier jigs, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa). Choose the MBLC variant if your 60 mm stroke requires adjustable air cushioning to soften heavier end-loads, or the MSBL/MTBL single-acting versions for simple push/pull spring-return tasks. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact but does not lock the rod—unvented or pressure-lost loads will drift, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is critical. Replacement match: 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U flat-end back cover, no 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 MBL32X60U FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 346 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The double-acting operating speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
No. The base MBL32X60U uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impact, not an adjustable air cushion (you must switch to the MBLC variant for that). Additionally, because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches.
