About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X150SU
The AirTAC MBLC32X150SU is a double-acting, single-rod mini cylinder housed in a compact, riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (346 N pull), its 150 mm stroke is well-suited for mid-range positioning tasks. The defining feature of this variant is the screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends. Instead of relying on a fixed rubber bumper, you can tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to smoothly brake heavier or faster-moving loads, cutting impact shock and vibration.
This specific SKU includes the U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting and a built-in magnet (-S) for non-contact position detection. It pairs seamlessly with AirTAC CMSG reed switches or DMSG and EMSG solid-state electronic sensors. The 12 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear resistance, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal keeps friction low and operational life high.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X150SU Is Used
Packaging Carton Diverter
Routes corrugated boxes on a high-speed line using 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa, relying on the tuned air cushion to silently stop the 150 mm stroke without jarring the conveyor frame.
CNC Lathe Tool Tray Index
Shifts a loaded tool tray 150 mm in and out of a turning center, using the DMSG electronic sensor to confirm retraction before the spindle ramps up to operating speed.
PCB Panel Push-off
Ejects populated circuit boards from a test fixture, where the adjustable end-cushion prevents delicate solder joints from cracking during the 150 mm transfer stroke.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X150SU the Right Cylinder?
The 32 mm bore yields 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If your payload is lighter, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push) to save space and air consumption. For heavier mechanisms requiring more thrust, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push). Choose this MBLC cushioned model over the base MBL when your cycle speeds exceed the absorption capacity of a standard fixed rubber bumper. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it is not a mechanical lock. A plain MBLC will drift if air pressure drops or the valve centers, so fit an external rod lock if you need fail-safe position holding.
Replacement match: Bore 32 mm, stroke 150 mm, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, PT (tapered) port thread form, U flat-end back cover, no mounting bracket, and a built-in magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Because the stroke is 150 mm, side-load stress on the 12 mm rod is a factor; use an external guide rail or pivot mounting to prevent rod bending.
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 MBLC32X150SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N push and 346 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, it delivers 563 N push and 484 N pull. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and it operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s.
A screw needle valve at each end cover traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke limits, which you tune to match the load and speed. The built-in magnet (-S) works with AirTAC CMSG reed switches, as well as DMSG and EMSG solid-state electronic sensors for position detection.
