About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X225CA
The AirTAC MBLC32X225CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and a 225 mm stroke, delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. It is equipped with a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to match heavier loads or faster cycling speeds. This protects the end covers from impact wear and reduces vibration, a significant upgrade over the fixed rubber bumper found on the base MBL series.
This specific SKU utilizes a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. Because this configuration lacks the built-in magnet (-S), it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body compact for tight machine spaces, while the Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod features a 20 µm hard-chrome plating paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for lasting friction control.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X225CA Is Used
Textile Loom Doffing
Drives the pivoting arm on a textile doffing mechanism, using the CA clevis to swing full bobbins out of the bay while the tuned cushion absorbs the 402 N deceleration at 225 mm extension.
Packaging Divert Gate
Actuates an arcing divert gate on a packaging conveyor, where the adjustable end cushion prevents the 32 mm bore from slamming when snapping cartons onto a secondary belt line.
PCB Handling Pivot
Pivots a transfer arm in a PCB handling station, relying on the compact riveted barrel to fit between tight machine bays while smoothly decelerating the 225 mm swing.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X225CA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when an application requires approximately 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 25 mm bore provides 245 N of push force, while moving up to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N for heavier demands. The CA pivot mount is ideal for mechanisms requiring angular rod movement, whereas a U flat-end cover suits rigid linear pushes. Since this is a non-magnet SKU, you must add the -S suffix if you need electronic or reed switch position detection.
With a 225 mm stroke, the Ø12 mm rod has a relatively low tolerance for side loads. To prevent rod bending and premature seal failure, use an external guide rail, pair the CA clevis with a SDB pivot bracket, or switch to an MBLD double-rod cylinder. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it is not a brake and will not hold the load 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 MBLC32X225CA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder delivers 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 484 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/8 port, a Ø12 mm rod, and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread.
No, this specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet (-S suffix) and cannot accept AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. If you require position detection, you must order the magnet-equipped variant, such as the MBLC32X225SCA.
