The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X225SCA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 225mm 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 MBLC32X225SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both stroke ends. Delivering 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, this 225 mm stroke unit is built to decelerate heavier loads smoothly, cutting end-cover impact and vibration where a fixed rubber bumper would fail. The integrated magnet (-S) enables direct position detection.
This variant uses a CA pivot clevis back cover, engineered to swing on a pin and accommodate arcing or angular loads. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and tight for machine packing, while the Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating resists corrosion and scoring. A heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains lubrication over high-frequency cycles.

Swings a yarn guide arm through a 225 mm arc using the CA pivot, relying on the adjustable cushion to soften the rapid end-of-stroke reversal during high-speed weaving.
Pushes lightweight packages across a sorting belt; the 402 N thrust handles the mass while the cushion needle is tuned to prevent the 225 mm rod from slamming during 800 mm/s cycles.
Extends to feed stretch wrap around pallets, where the clevis joint absorbs the off-center load and the -S magnet confirms film arm extension via a DMSG electronic sensor.
Select this 32 mm bore when your application requires 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa but the 25 mm bore (245 N) is underpowered, or when you want a slimmer profile than the 40 mm bore (628 N). The 225 mm stroke is a non-standard intermediate length (stepping between the 200 mm and 250 mm standard options), making it ideal for custom machine envelopes without requiring spacer adjustments.
The CA clevis mount is essential for arcing loads, but a 225 mm stroke on a Ø12 mm rod has low side-load tolerance. If the load cannot be perfectly guided, use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it is not a brake and will not hold the load if air pressure drops. Replacement match: 32 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot cover, with -S 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, the output increases to 563 N push and 484 N pull. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at both ends traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston before it hits the end cover. You adjust it to match your specific load and speed, which reduces impact noise and wear. It only functions near the stroke ends and does not lock or hold the rod in place.
