About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X15SU
The AirTAC MBLC32X15SU is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for high-frequency, short-stroke tasks. It produces 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for rapid ejection or clamping operations within confined machinery. Unlike standard bumpers, this model features a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends, allowing you to fine-tune end-of-stroke deceleration to minimize impact wear on fast cycles.
This configuration includes a U flat-end back cover for rigid mounting and a built-in magnet (S) for position detection. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body lightweight yet durable, while the Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 μm hard-chrome plating to resist corrosion. The heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures consistent lubrication over a long service life, and the integrated magnet supports AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor switches.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X15SU Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Uses the 402 N push force to knock finished plastic parts out of tight injection mold cavities, relying on the 15 mm stroke for rapid, space-constrained actuation.
Packaging Line Diverter
Deploys quickly to deflect small cartons on a high-speed packaging conveyor, utilizing the tunable air cushion to silently arrest the 15 mm extension.
PCB Test Fixture
Clamps delicate printed circuit boards under electronic test probes, using the built-in magnet and DMSG sensor to confirm the 15 mm clamping stroke.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X15SU the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring less force, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. Choose this MBLC variant over the base MBL when your 15 mm stroke cycles rapidly and a fixed rubber bumper cannot adequately absorb the kinetic energy. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it is not a locking mechanism. If you need to hold position without live air pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This specific SKU uses a PT port thread, a U flat-end rear cover, and includes the magnetic piston for switch mounting.

- ✓ 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 MBLC32X15SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 346 N. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw needle valve at both ends traps a pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the piston before it hits the end cover. You tune this cushion to match your speed and load, which is critical for protecting the cylinder on high-frequency 15 mm strokes. It is a deceleration device, not a load lock.
