About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X175SCA
The AirTAC MBLC32X175SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 175mm stroke. It generates 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5MPa, making it well-suited for mid-range linear motion tasks. A defining feature of this SKU is the CA pivot clevis back cover, which allows the body to swing on a pin to accommodate angular or arcing load paths without binding. Furthermore, the built-in magnet (-S) enables position detection using AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches.
Unlike the base MBL which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this MBLC variant incorporates a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both stroke ends. Tuning the cushion needle lets you smoothly decelerate the piston near the end caps, effectively reducing impact shock, noise, and vibration on faster or heavier moves. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the unit compact for tight machine spaces, while the 20um hard-chrome plating on the carbon-steel rod defends against wear and moisture.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X175SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Weft Insertion
Drives the guide mechanism on textile machinery at 402N of push force, using the 175mm stroke to lay weft threads while the CA pivot absorbs the angular pivot motion of the loom arm.
Package Divert Arm
Actuates a pivoting diverter gate on a packaging conveyor, where the 175mm stroke pushes parcels and the adjustable air cushion cushions the end-of-stroke impact during high-frequency cycling.
PCB Component Shuttle
Moves delicate PCB panels into a pick-and-place machine, utilizing the -S magnet with a DMSG electronic sensor to confirm the 175mm extension before the robotic arm descends.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X175SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32mm bore, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N of push force at 0.5MPa, whereas stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N if your load requires more thrust. The 175mm stroke is a standard length (under the 500mm maximum) and pairs with a G1/8 port and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. Because this stroke exceeds 300mm, the 12mm rod has a relatively low tolerance for side loads; for arcing or offset masses, the CA pivot cover is essential, but you should also consider an external guide, an SDB pivot bracket, or the MBLD double-rod cylinder to prevent rod bending. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends and does not lock or hold the load if air pressure is lost.
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 MBLC32X175SCA FAQ
At 0.5MPa, this 32mm bore cylinder provides 402N of push force and 346N of pull force. At 0.7MPa, the push increases to 563N. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa.
The MBLC32X175SCA uses a screw-tunable pneumatic needle at both ends to trap and exhaust air smoothly as the piston nears the end caps. You adjust the needle to match your load and speed, decelerating the rod to cut impact shock and noise. It functions strictly as a deceleration device, not a load lock or brake.
