The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X150SU is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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 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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
