About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X175SU
The AirTAC MBLC32X175SU is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered to deliver 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa across a 175 mm stroke. It features a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration for heavier or faster moving loads. This protects the end covers from impact wear, unlike the fixed rubber bumper found on the base MBL series.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (S) for position detection and a rigid flat-end U back cover. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light for tight spaces, while the Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist scoring. A heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures consistent lubrication over the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X175SU Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Drives a linear cutting head across 175 mm to singulate circuit boards, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 402 N thrust smoothly without jarring delicate SMD components.
Carton Flap Folder
Actuates a folding arm on a packaging line, relying on the tunable air cushion to decelerate the high-speed stroke gently and prevent tearing cardboard flaps.
Connector Pin Insertion
Pushes electronic pins into housings with precise 346 N pull force, using the built-in magnet to confirm exact insertion depth before the press retracts.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X175SU the Right Cylinder?
Select the 32 mm bore when an application requires around 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push force; for heavier payloads, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. Choose this MBLC variant over the standard MBL when cycle speeds are high and the fixed bumper cannot adequately absorb the kinetic energy.
At 175 mm of stroke, the relatively small Ø12 mm rod has limited tolerance for side loads. To prevent rod bending and premature seal failure, use an external guide rail, select a CA or SDB pivot mounting, or switch to an MBLD double-rod cylinder. This specific configuration uses a PT port thread and a U flat-end back cover. It includes the -S magnet for use with AirTAC CMSG (reed), DMSG, or EMSG (electronic) sensor switches. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it does not hold position 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 MBLC32X175SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa it provides 563 N push and 484 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/8 port and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread.
A screw-tunable needle at both ends traps a small pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the piston before it hits the end cover. You adjust it to match the load and speed, reducing impact noise and vibration. It is strictly an end-of-stroke damper, not a mid-stroke brake or load lock.
