About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X175U
The AirTAC MBLC32X175U is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and 175 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 linear actuation. A defining feature of this MBLC variant is the screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both stroke ends. Unlike a fixed rubber bumper, this needle valve lets you precisely tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to match your load and speed, absorbing kinetic energy to reduce impact wear on the end covers during rapid cycling.
This specific SKU uses a U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting and lacks the S magnet suffix, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The body relies on a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel for a compact, lightweight footprint rather than a bulky rebuildable tie-rod design. Inside, a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal works alongside a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod plated with 20 µm hard chrome to maintain lubrication and resist scoring over thousands of cycles.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X175U Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw Feed
Drives a circular saw blade assembly smoothly through 175 mm of travel to singulate printed circuit boards, using the adjustable cushion to prevent sudden stops that could fracture the fragile fiberglass edges.
Carton Flap Tucking
Extends 175 mm to tuck inner flaps on packaging lines, relying on the 402 N push force to overcome cardboard resistance while the tuned air cushion softens the impact at high cycle rates.
Connector Insertion Press
Pushes ribbon cable connectors into housing slots, where the precise 0.5 MPa thrust and smooth end-of-stroke deceleration prevent damage to delicate plastic locking tabs.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X175U the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when an application requires around 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your payload is lighter, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push force, while moving heavier loads up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. The 175 mm stroke offers ample travel, but because the rod is a relatively small Ø12 mm with low side-load tolerance, you should use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending over this distance. Choose this MBLC model over the base MBL when cycle speeds are high enough that the standard fixed bumper would degrade prematurely.
This configuration uses a U flat-end back cover for rigid mounting and a default PT tapered port thread. Because this SKU does not include the S magnet option, it cannot accept AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensor switches for position detection. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it is not a braking device, and the cylinder will not hold position if air pressure is lost or the valve centers.
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 MBLC32X175U FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/8 port and a Ø12 mm rod. 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 maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, because this specific SKU lacks the S magnet suffix, it cannot accept AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. If you require position detection, you must select the MBLC32X175SU variant with the built-in magnet.
