The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X10SCA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm 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 MBLC32X10SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for very short 10mm strokes. It delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Unlike the base MBL, this variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the end covers on high-frequency cycles.
This SKU includes a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing angular loads, along with a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light, while the 20 um hard-chrome plating on the carbon-steel rod defends against wear.

Uses the 10mm stroke and 402 N push to eject small molded plastic parts from a fixture at high speed, relying on the tuned air cushion to prevent end-cover impact.
Pivots a short diverter gate on a packaging line; the CA clevis accommodates the swing arc while the magnet confirms retraction for the PLC.
Secures delicate circuit boards during testing, where the compact 32mm body fits tight cell spacing and the cushion ensures soft, vibration-free clamping.
For a 32mm bore delivering 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, step down to the 25mm bore if your load requires only 245 N, or step up to the 40mm bore if you need 628 N. The adjustable cushion is ideal for fast, repetitive 10mm moves where a fixed rubber bumper would degrade quickly. The CA clevis is specifically chosen for pivoting mechanisms; pair it with an SDB pivot bracket for full articulation.
This cylinder uses a G1/8 port with PT thread form, a Ø12 mm rod, and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. The -S magnet enables solid-state DMSG/EMSG or reed CMSG position detection. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke ends; it does not lock the rod or hold position if air pressure drops.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 346 N. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at both ends traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly before it hits the end cover. You tune it to match the load and speed, which reduces noise and wear. It is a deceleration device, not a load lock or brake.
