About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X225SU
The AirTAC MBLC32X225SU is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation where controlled end-of-stroke deceleration is required. It produces 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for mid-range positioning tasks over a 225 mm stroke. Unlike the base MBL series, this variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends, allowing you to fine-tune the needle to smoothly decelerate heavier or faster-moving loads without slamming the end covers.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for compatibility with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor switches to track rod position along the 225 mm travel. The U flat-end back cover provides a rigid rear mounting surface. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and compact for tight 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 MBLC32X225SU Is Used
Packaging Conveyor Diverter
Diverts cartons on a packaging line using the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa, while the adjustable air cushion ensures the 225 mm stroke ends smoothly without jarring the conveyor frame at high cycle rates.
CNC Lathe Bar Feeder
Pushes raw bar stock into a CNC lathe collet, using the 225 mm stroke to index material precisely while the CMSG reed switch confirms the extended position for the machine controller.
Textile Loom Beam Lift
Raises heavy fabric beams into loom cradles, relying on the tunable cushion to decelerate the load gently at the top of the stroke, protecting the riveted aluminum end covers from impact damage.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X225SU the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when you need more force than the 25 mm version (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) but want a smaller footprint than the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa). The 225 mm stroke provides ample travel for mid-range positioning. Choose the MBLC over the standard MBL when cycle speeds are high or the moved mass is significant enough that a fixed rubber bumper would wear out too quickly or cause excessive impact vibration. Keep in mind the pneumatic cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it is not a brake, and the rod will drift if air is lost or the valve centers.
At 225 mm of stroke, the Ø12 mm rod has a relatively low tolerance for side loading. To prevent rod bending and premature seal wear, guide the load externally or pivot the cylinder using a CA clevis or SDB pivot bracket instead of this rigid U flat-end mount. For applications requiring higher side-load resistance without external guides, consider the MBLD double-rod cylinder. The replacement match for this unit is: 32 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U flat-end back cover, with an -S 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 MBLC32X225SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore provides 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at each end of the cylinder traps a pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly before it hits the end cover. You adjust the needle to match your load and speed, which reduces impact noise and vibration. It is strictly a deceleration device, not a load lock or brake.
