The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X200SCA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 200mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Its compact riveted body suits push, hold and clamp motion in tight machine spaces.
The AirTAC MBLC32X200SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered with a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa over a 200 mm stroke, it decelerates the piston smoothly near each end of travel to cut impact shock on faster or heavier moves. This is a tunable deceleration feature, not a load lock or brake.
This SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads, along with a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light, while the Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating resists wear against the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal.

The 200 mm stroke and CA pivot clevis drive swinging robotic gripper arms, using the 402 N push force to reach and clamp parts on a conveyor without binding.
Tunable air cushions absorb the kinetic energy of fast 346 N retraction strokes when pushing heavy pallets off a high-speed sorting line.
The -S magnet pairs with a DMSG electronic sensor to confirm test head position over delicate circuit boards, while the cushion prevents hard end-cover impacts.
Stepping down to the 25 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245 N, whereas stepping up to the 40 mm bore increases it to 628 N. Choose this MBLC variant over the base MBL when your cycle speeds or moved masses exceed what a fixed rubber bumper can absorb. The CA clevis is ideal for articulated mechanisms, but note that a plain cylinder does not hold position if air is lost; use an external rod lock for vertical drop prevention.
At 200 mm of stroke, the Ø12 mm rod has limited side-load tolerance. For this 32 mm bore, guide the load externally or rely on the CA pivot to prevent rod bending. The replacement match is bore 32, stroke 200, port G1/8, rod thread M10x1.25, PT thread form, CA back cover, and an integrated magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N and pull to 484 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle traps exhaust air at both stroke ends, decelerating the piston smoothly. You dial the needle to match your load and speed, which protects the end covers from impact. It is strictly an end-of-stroke damper, not a mid-stroke braking or locking mechanism.
