About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X100CA
The AirTAC MBLC32X100CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation where arcing or angular movement is present. It produces 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. A 100 mm stroke makes it well-suited for mid-travel indexing and part ejection tasks. The CA pivot (clevis) back cover swings freely on a pin, absorbing lateral shaft deviations without side-loading the internal piston guides.
Unlike the base MBL series which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this MBLC variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both stroke ends. You tune the exhaust needle to smoothly decelerate the 12 mm carbon-steel rod before it strikes the end cover, effectively cutting impact shock and noise on faster cycles. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the overall footprint tight for tight machinery, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains lubrication over the 30-800 mm/s speed range. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot host a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X100CA Is Used
Package Divert Arm
Drives a swinging diverter on a packaging conveyor line, where the CA clevis accommodates the angular arc and the air cushion halts the 100 mm stroke smoothly without jarring the belt.
Textile Yarn Guide
Indexes a yarn guide carriage across a weaving machine; the 402 N force handles the guide mass while the cushioned ends prevent thread-snapping sudden jerks at travel limits.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds corrugated carton flaps on a case erector, using the 100 mm stroke to clear the packaging path while the cushioned stop protects the lightweight aluminum mechanical linkages.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X100CA the Right Cylinder?
A 32 mm bore yielding 402 N push at 0.5 MPa fits light-to-medium material displacement. If your payload drops, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa); if you are over-moving a lighter load, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa). Choose this MBLC over the standard MBL when your cycle speed or moved mass makes the fixed rubber bumper insufficient for smooth stops. The adjustable cushion only governs end-of-stroke velocity; it is not a brake and will not hold the rod in place if air supply is lost or exhausted. For exact replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and non-magnet configuration.

- ✓ 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 MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X100CA 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, push increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at both ends traps a pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke limits. You adjust it to match your load and speed, which reduces end-cover impact and vibration compared to a fixed rubber bumper. It only decelerates near the ends and does not lock or hold the load when air is removed.
