The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X100SCA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Its compact riveted body suits push, hold and clamp motion in tight machine spaces.
The AirTAC MBLC32X100SCA is a double-acting, adjustable-air-cushion mini cylinder built on a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it uses a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear. The 100 mm stroke is tuned by screw-adjustable pneumatic needles at both ends, decelerating the piston smoothly to protect the end covers on fast or repetitive moves.
This SKU includes a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads, preventing rod binding. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensor switches for position detection. The heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains lubrication over the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

Lifts and lowers a spindle motor on a PCB depaneling router, using the 100 mm stroke to clear the tool. The cushion prevents jarring stops that would snap fragile carbide bits.
Folds minor carton flaps on a continuous packaging line. The CA pivot absorbs side-load from misaligned cardboard, while the 402 N force easily overcomes folding resistance.
Actuates a sliding access door on a wafer processing chamber. The DMSG electronic sensor confirms full open/close positions, and the cushion ensures the door seats softly without vibration.
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore generates 402 N push and 346 N pull. If your payload is lighter, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push); for heavier masses, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push). Choose this MBLC over the base MBL when your cycle times demand high-speed operation and a fixed rubber bumper would cause premature impact wear. The cushion needle only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it is not a brake, so the rod will drift if air is lost. Replacement match: 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot cover, magnet fitted.
Quick checklist
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, it delivers 563 N push. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Screw-tunable pneumatic needles at both ends trap exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near stroke ends. You tune the needle to match your load and speed, reducing end-cover impact and noise. It only decelerates; it is not a load lock or brake.
