About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X15SCA
The AirTAC MBLC32X15SCA is a compact double-acting mini cylinder engineered for short 15mm strokes, delivering a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa. It features a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends, allowing you to fine-tune end-of-stroke deceleration to protect components during rapid cycling. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and tight for space-constrained machines, while the 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod resists wear against the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot/clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads, along with a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection. The magnetic switch option supports AirTAC CMSG (reed), DMSG, and EMSG (electronic) sensors to confirm stroke endpoints in automated sequences.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X15SCA Is Used
Pick-and-Place Ejector
Uses the 15mm stroke and 402 N force to rapidly eject small stamped electronics parts from a die, relying on the cushion to soften the abrupt end impact.
PCB Clamp Arm
Secures circuit boards during wave soldering, using the CA pivot mount to swing into place and the -S magnet to verify clamping position.
Sorting Diverter Gate
Pivots a short guide flap to route small plastic bottles on a packaging line, benefiting from the compact riveted barrel in tight transfer zones.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X15SCA the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing less force, stepping down to the 25mm bore provides 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 40mm bore yields 628 N if your fixture requires more clamping power. Choose this MBLC variant over the base MBL when your short-stroke movements are fast or high-frequency, as the tunable cushion absorbs impact better than a fixed rubber bumper. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it is not a brake, so a plain cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost. This exact replacement matches a 32mm bore, 15mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot cover, and an integrated 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 MBLC32X15SCA FAQ
This 32mm bore cylinder uses a G1/8 port and a Ø12mm rod. It generates a push force of 402 N and pull of 346 N at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum theoretical output of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at both ends traps a small amount of exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly before it hits the end cover. You adjust it to match the load and speed, which reduces noise and wear compared to the fixed bumper found on the base MBL series.
