About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X100U
The AirTAC MBLC32X100U is a double-acting, 32mm bore mini cylinder with a 100mm stroke. It generates 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5MPa, making it a solid choice for mid-range actuation. The U designation indicates a rigid flat-end back cover for straightforward inline mounting. A defining feature of this variant is the screw-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both stroke ends, which decelerates the piston smoothly to prevent end-cover impact.
Unlike the base MBL which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this MBLC model lets you tune the exhaust needle to match heavier loads or faster cycling speeds. The body utilizes a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel for a compact, lightweight profile that fits tight machine spaces. The Ø12mm carbon-steel rod features a 20µm hard-chrome plating, paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for lasting friction control.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X100U Is Used
PCB Drill Spindle Gate
Shifts a safety guard on a PCB drilling line. The 100mm stroke clears the spindle for tool changes, while the 402N push force handles the slide mass and the tuned cushion prevents slamming at 800mm/s.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds minor flaps on a packaging conveyor. The 32mm bore provides enough pull (346N) to snap cardboard, and the adjustable air cushion stops the rod gently before it hits the rear flat U cover during high-frequency cycling.
IC Handler Ejector
Ejects tested integrated circuits from a test socket. The compact riveted barrel fits the handler head, and the smooth pneumatic cushion arrests the 100mm stroke without jarring the delicate pick-and-place mechanics.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X100U the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5MPa, this 32mm bore outputs 402N push and 346N pull. If your payload is lighter, stepping down to the 25mm bore reduces thrust to 245N push and 206N pull, saving space and air. If you need more force, the 40mm bore steps up to 628N push and 528N pull. Choose this MBLC over the standard MBL when cycle speeds are high or the moved mass stresses a fixed bumper too aggressively. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates near the ends; it is not a brake, and the rod will drift if air is lost or the valve centers. This specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The port is G1/8, rod-end thread is M10x1.25, and the port thread form is PT.
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 MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X100U FAQ
At 0.5MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull. At 0.7MPa it provides 563N push and 484N pull. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800mm/s.
No. This specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet (no -S suffix), so it cannot accept CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG solid-state sensor switches. If you need position detection, select the MBLC32X100SU model instead.
