About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X225U
The AirTAC MBLC32X225U 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 32 mm bore, 225 mm stroke unit is built for fast cycling where fixed bumpers would fail. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and tight for machine cells where space is restricted.
This specific SKU uses a U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting and lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The 20 um hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod pairs with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal to maintain lubrication over long reciprocating runs. You tune the end-of-stroke cushion needles to decelerate the load smoothly, cutting impact noise without acting as a physical lock.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X225U Is Used
PCB Drill Bit Changer
Drives a vertical tool elevator at 402 N push force, relying on the tuned air cushion to settle the 225 mm stroke gently without shocking the delicate spindle.
Connector Insertion Press
Pushes IC sockets into PCBs with 346 N pull return, using the 225 mm travel to clear the tooling head before the cushioned end-of-stroke deceleration protects the frame.
Pouch Diverter Gate
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging line where the compact riveted barrel fits inside the conveyor frame, moving the 225 mm stroke rapidly without bumper wear.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X225U the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32 mm bore when you need 402 N push at 0.5 MPa across a 225 mm stroke. If your load is lighter, step down to the 25 mm bore for 245 N; if you need to move heavier masses, step up to the 40 mm bore for 628 N. Select the MBLC over the base MBL when cycle speeds or payload inertia would overwhelm a fixed rubber bumper. This U-cover version provides a rigid flat rear mount, contrasting with the CA pivot style used for arcing loads. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a sensor switch. Note that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is removed or a valve centers—the cushion only decelerates near the ends and will not hold position.
At 225 mm, the stroke is well within the 500 mm standard limit, but the 12 mm rod has low side-load tolerance. For this length, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally, using a CA or SDB pivot bracket for self-alignment, or switching to an MBLD double-rod cylinder.
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 MBLC32X225U FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/8 port and a Ø12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 thread. It generates 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. Because the model code lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. You would need the MBLC32X225S variant for reed or electronic solid-state position detection.
