About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X25SCA
The AirTAC MBLC32X25SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for short 25mm strokes. It delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a Ø12 mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod with an M10x1.25 end thread. Unlike the base MBL which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this MBLC variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends. Tuning the cushion needle allows you to smoothly decelerate the piston near stroke ends, cutting impact shock and noise on faster or heavier moves.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot/clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads, rather than a rigid flat-end mount. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and compact for tight spaces, while the built-in magnet (-S) enables rod-position detection. You can pair it with AirTAC CMSG reed switches or DMSG and EMSG electronic solid-state sensors for precise end-of-stroke confirmation.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X25SCA Is Used
Pick-and-Place Pivot Arm
Ideal for a short-throw pivoting gripper arm where the CA clevis accommodates the swing arc and the cushion absorbs the 402 N kinetic energy at 25 mm stroke ends.
Package Diverting Flap
Drives a high-speed routing flap on a packaging line; the adjustable air cushion prevents the 32 mm bore piston from slamming the end covers during rapid cycling.
PCB Test Socket Actuation
Moves a testing probe head into position where the -S magnet triggers a DMSG electronic sensor, ensuring precise 25 mm placement without jarring the delicate electronics.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X25SCA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when an application requires roughly 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa within a very short 25 mm stroke. If you need less force, step down to the 25 mm bore which provides 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires more thrust, step up to the 40 mm bore which yields 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. The PT tapered port thread is standard, matching the G1/8 port size. The CA clevis mount is ideal for pivoting mechanisms, while the -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it is not a brake and will not hold the rod in place if air pressure is lost.
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 MBLC32X25SCA FAQ
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 push increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The MBLC32X25SCA features a screw-tunable needle valve at both ends that traps a pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the piston before it hits the end cover. You adjust it to match your load and speed, which reduces impact wear and noise compared to a fixed rubber bumper. It is strictly an end-of-stroke damper, not a locking brake.
