About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X80CA
The AirTAC MBL32X80CA is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for compact installations. It produces 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for 80 mm stroke actuation tasks that need more power than a 25 mm bore offers but lack the room for a 40 mm body. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the front and rear covers directly to the tube, yielding a lightweight footprint that is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads, distinguishing it from the rigid flat-end U type. The carbon-steel piston rod is hardened with 20 μm chrome plating for wear resistance, and the heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for a long service life. Because this model lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X80CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide Arm
Swings a thread guide arm through an 80 mm arc on a weaving loom, using the CA pivot cover to absorb the angular side-load while providing 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Packaging Flap Folder
Folds cardboard carton flaps on a continuous flow wrapper where the 32 mm bore provides enough thrust (346 N pull) and the compact riveted body fits between the conveyor belts.
Welding Torch Positioner
Pivots a small MIG torch into position for automated seam welding, relying on the 80 mm stroke and the clevis mount to swing the torch head smoothly without binding.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X80CA the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore generates 402 N push and 346 N pull. If your assembly needs less force, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push); if you require greater thrust, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push). The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact; if your application moves heavier masses at higher velocities, choose the MBLC variant for its adjustable air cushion.
This cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if gravity or drift is a concern. This MBL32X80CA configuration includes a 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port, default PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and no magnet. To mount it, pair the CA cover with an SDB pivot bracket.
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 MBL32X80CA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder delivers 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 uses a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with an M10x1.25 end thread.
No. The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb impact, not an adjustable air cushion (you need the MBLC variant for that). Additionally, because this SKU lacks the -S suffix for a built-in magnet, no CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch can be fitted to detect rod position.
