About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X10SU
The AirTAC MBLC32X10SU is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring an adjustable air cushion at both ends. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402 N push and 346 N pull force, making this ultra-short 10 mm stroke variant ideal for high-precision clamping or micro-ejection tasks. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and compact for tight machine envelopes, while the 20 um hard-chrome carbon-steel rod pairs with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for low-friction longevity.
The U flat-end back cover provides a rigid default rear mounting face. Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit supports AirTAC CMSG (reed), DMSG, and EMSG (electronic) sensor switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. The screw-tunable pneumatic cushion decelerates the piston smoothly near stroke ends, absorbing impact on fast, high-frequency cycles without acting as a load lock.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X10SU Is Used
PCB Connector Insertion
Provides 402 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa to press micro-connectors onto PCBs within a 10 mm travel, using the adjustable cushion to prevent impact damage on delicate components.
IC Test Handler Clamping
Secures silicon wafers or IC trays during high-speed electrical testing, leveraging the 10 mm stroke and CMSG reed sensor switch for rapid position confirmation.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects small plastic molded parts from a tight cavity, using the 346 N pull force and rigid U back cover to maintain precise alignment in a compact assembly cell.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X10SU the Right Cylinder?
For a 32 mm bore, this 10 mm stroke suits extremely tight motion paths. If you need less force, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa); if moving heavier masses, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa). Choose this MBLC cushioned version over the base MBL when operating at high speeds or high cycle rates where a fixed rubber bumper would degrade. The replacement match is: 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U back cover, and S magnet. Note that a plain double-acting cylinder does not hold position if air is lost; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
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 MBLC32X10SU FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/8 port, a Ø12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and PT (tapered) thread form.
The MBLC32X10SU features a screw-tunable pneumatic cushion at both ends. You adjust the needle valve to match your load and speed, decelerating the piston smoothly near the stroke ends to reduce noise and impact. It only decelerates near the ends and is not a load lock or brake.
