About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X150U
The AirTAC MBLC32X150U is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation over a 150 mm stroke. It generates 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for mid-range positioning tasks. A defining feature of this MBLC variant is the screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both stroke ends. By tuning the needle valves, you decelerate the piston smoothly near the covers, actively reducing impact shock and noise on faster or heavier moves compared to the fixed rubber bumper of the base MBL.
This specific configuration uses a U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting and a standard PT tapered port thread. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it is built without a magnet and cannot host a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The body utilizes a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel for a lightweight, space-saving profile, while the Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for lasting friction control.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X150U Is Used
PCB Router Gantry
Drives a small routing spindle head along a 150 mm axis, using the adjustable cushion to prevent end-stop jarring that could affect cut precision on dense fiberglass boards.
Carton Flap Folder
Actuates a mechanical arm to tuck corrugated carton flaps at speed, relying on the 402 N push force and tunable cushioning to cycle rapidly without hammering the rear cover.
Connector Press Head
Applies 346 N of pull force to seat multi-pin electronic connectors into housings, decelerating smoothly at the stroke base to avoid crushing delicate plastic shells.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X150U the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when an application demands roughly 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa across a 150 mm travel. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push force, saving valuable space. If you need to move a heavier mass, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push force. At 150 mm of stroke, the Ø12 mm rod has reasonable side-load tolerance, but always guide the load externally to prevent rod bending.
This model features a U flat-end back cover for rigid mounting and PT thread ports. Note that a plain double-acting cylinder does not hold position if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the rod will drift. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel—it is not a locking brake. For drop prevention, use an external rod lock.
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 MBLC32X150U FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/8 port and an M10x1.25 rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. Because the model code lacks the -S suffix, this unit has no internal magnet and cannot detect rod position. To use AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches, you must select the MBLC32X150S variant with the built-in magnet.
