About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X90CA
The AirTAC MBL32X90CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 346 N at 0.5 MPa, making this 90 mm stroke unit well-suited for mid-range actuation tasks. As a genuine AirTAC component, it features a riveted rolling-packed barrel where the covers are crimped to the tube, ensuring a lightweight footprint that is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod body.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot (clevis) back cover, allowing the cylinder to swing freely on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. The carbon-steel piston rod features a 20 um hard-chrome plating for superior wear and corrosion resistance, paired with a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for a long service life. Note that because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X90CA Is Used
Package Diverting Arm
Swings a lightweight routing gate on a packaging line, utilizing the CA pivot clevis to absorb angular movement while providing 402 N of push force to deflect parcels.
Textile Yarn Guide
Traverses a yarn guide across a winding drum, where the compact riveted aluminum body fits into narrow loom frameworks and the 90 mm stroke matches the bobbin width.
Bin Gate Actuation
Opens and closes a small hopper flap for granular material dosing, relying on the 346 N pull force to retract the gate securely against the material column.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL32X90CA the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the MBL32X90CA is ideal when your application requires a pivot mount to manage angular loads throughout the 90 mm stroke. If you need less force, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, if your fixture demands more power, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This model uses a G1/8 port with a default PT thread form, a Ø12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and the CA back cover.
Keep in mind the base MBL relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion; choose the MBLC variant if your heavy loads require adjustable cushioning. Additionally, this cylinder does not hold its position or load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the rod will drift. For load-holding without live pressure, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
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 MBL32X90CA 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 theoretical maximum force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
This specific MBL32X90CA SKU does not have a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. It also uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping rather than an adjustable cushion; for adjustable air cushioning, you would need the MBLC variant.
