About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X150CA
The AirTAC MBLC32X150CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for arcing motion, featuring a 32mm bore and 150mm stroke. It generates 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and spatially efficient for tight machine layouts, while the 20μm hard-chrome plating on the carbon-steel rod defends against wear and corrosion.
Unlike the base MBL series which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this MBLC variant incorporates a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both stroke ends. Tuning the cushion needle allows smooth deceleration of heavier or faster-moving payloads, drastically reducing end-cover impact and vibration. The CA pivot/clevis back cover swings on a pin to accommodate angular loads, and because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X150CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide Arms
Drives oscillating guide arms on high-speed weaving looms, using the CA pivot to absorb angular rod alignment while the air cushion prevents sudden end-stop impacts during rapid 150mm direction reversals.
Packaging Flap Tuckers
Actuates cardboard flap tuckers on continuous-motion cartoners, where the 402N force securely folds flaps and the tunable cushioning ensures the 12mm rod retracts smoothly without denting the packaging.
PCB Component Inserters
Moves leaded electronic component inserters on through-hole assembly lines, relying on the riveted aluminum body to fit within dense fixture spacing while decelerating the 150mm travel to protect delicate board landing zones.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X150CA the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 32mm bore yields 402N push and 346N pull forces. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 25mm bore provides 245N push and 206N pull. If you need more thrust, stepping up to the 40mm bore delivers 628N push and 528N pull. The 150mm stroke suits medium-travel positioning, and the CA clevis is ideal for mechanisms where the rod traces an arc rather than moving purely linearly.
Because the 150mm stroke exceeds 300mm? No, but at 150mm it is still important to manage side loads: the 12mm rod has limited side-load tolerance, so utilizing the CA pivot helps absorb misalignment. For applications needing locked positioning without constant air supply, note that the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends and does not function as a holding brake. The replacement match is: 32mm bore, 150mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA back cover, no mounting bracket, no magnet.
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 MBLC32X150CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 32mm bore, 12mm rod, and G1/8 port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull force. At 0.7 MPa it provides 563N push and 484N pull. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, meaning it has no internal magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. The integrated adjustable air cushion at both ends is screw-tuned to decelerate the piston near stroke ends, which is superior to a fixed rubber bumper for reducing impact noise on fast cycles.
