About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X25CA
The AirTAC MBLC32X25CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for short 25 mm strokes where smooth end-of-stroke deceleration is required. Instead of a fixed rubber bumper, it features a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. Tuning the needle valve lets you decelerate the piston near the stroke limits, cutting impact shock and vibration on faster moves. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is built around a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel that keeps the body light for tight machinery envelopes.
This SKU uses a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads, preventing rod binding. It carries a Ø12 mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod and a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for lasting friction control. Note that this specific configuration lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X25CA Is Used
Pick-and-Place Pivot Arm
Drives a short 25 mm swing on a robotic transfer arm, using the CA clevis to accommodate the arcing motion while the air cushion stops the 402 N stroke smoothly.
Package Flap Tucking
Tucks carton flaps on a packaging line where the 32 mm bore provides decisive push force, and the adjustable cushion prevents end-cover slamming during rapid cycling.
PCB Test Socket Actuation
Actuates a testing fixture socket with a short 25 mm stroke, where the compact riveted aluminum body fits dense electronics test arrays and the cushion protects delicate components.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X25CA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when an application demands 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa alongside a short 25 mm stroke. If your move is lighter, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N, while moving up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N for heavier loads. The adjustable air cushion makes the MBLC ideal over the base MBL when cycling faster or moving a heavier mass that would wear out a fixed rubber bumper. Because this SKU features the CA pivot cover, it is specifically suited for pivoting loads rather than rigid flat-face mounting. As a double-acting cylinder, it will not hold position if air is lost or the valve centers; the cushion only decelerates near the ends and does not function as a lock. Replacement matching requires a 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, PT port thread, CA back cover, and no magnet.
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 MBLC32X25CA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/8 port and delivers a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 346 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet (no -S suffix), so it cannot accept AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. You would need the MBLC32X25CAS variant to detect rod position.
