About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X200SU
The AirTAC MBLC32X200SU is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation where end-of-stroke impact must be tightly controlled. A 32 mm bore yields 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making this 200 mm stroke variant well-suited for mid-length traversing or lifting tasks on lighter machinery. Unlike the base MBL series, this variant substitutes fixed rubber bumpers with a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends, allowing you to precisely tune end-cover deceleration for faster cycling speeds.
The U suffix denotes a rigid flat-end back cover for direct inline mounting, while the integrated -S magnet enables position detection via CMSG reed or DMSG and EMSG solid-state sensor switches. Constructed with a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel for minimal weight in tight spaces, the unit relies on a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal paired with a 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod. This Ø12 mm rod assembly operates at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s, handling fluid filtered to 40 µm.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X200SU Is Used
PCB Conveyor Diverter
Swiftly routes populated circuit boards between inline SMT inspection lanes, using the 200 mm stroke to clear the belt path while the air cushion prevents sudden stops from shaking loose delicate solder joints.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds minor flaps on small packaging lines, where the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily overcomes cardboard resistance and the tunable cushioning ensures quiet, vibration-free retraction at high cycle rates.
Lathe Tailstock Indexer
Positions a light secondary tooling block on a benchtop CNC lathe, relying on the rigid U flat-end cover for straight thrust alignment and the -S magnet to trigger the machine controller at extension.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X200SU the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when an application demands 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 25 mm bore provides 245 N of push force, whereas stepping up to the 40 mm bore increases thrust to 628 N for heavier masses. The defining reason to choose this MBLC version over the standard MBL is the adjustable air cushion: it actively decelerates the piston near each stroke end, preventing end-cover damage on high-frequency or fast-moving loads where a fixed bumper would rapidly deteriorate.
At 200 mm of stroke, the small Ø12 mm rod has a low tolerance for side loads and is susceptible to bending if subjected to off-center masses. To mitigate rod wear and seal failure, utilize an external linear guide, select a CA or SDB pivot mounting to accommodate arcing loads, or switch to an MBLD double-rod cylinder. As a double-acting pneumatic actuator, this cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost or exhausted—the cushion needle only decelerates motion near the ends and does not function as a locking brake. For static holding without live air, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The replacement match for this SKU is: 32 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U flat-end back cover, and built-in magnet.

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 MBLC32X200SU FAQ
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, the push increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates within a pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa and a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
The cushion is a screw-tunable pneumatic needle at both ends of the cylinder. You adjust the needle to match your specific load and speed, trapping a pocket of air to smoothly decelerate the piston before it hits the end cover. This is superior to a fixed rubber bumper for fast or high-frequency cycles because it drastically reduces impact shock, noise, and cover wear. It only decelerates near the stroke ends and does not lock the load.
