About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X30CA
The AirTAC MBLC32X30CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation, delivering 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its 30 mm stroke is tailored for short-travel clamping or ejecting tasks where space is restricted. Unlike the fixed rubber bumper found on the base MBL series, this MBLC variant incorporates a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. This allows you to fine-tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to match the load and speed, effectively absorbing kinetic energy to prevent end-cover damage on faster or heavier moves.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads, preventing rod binding during movement. It utilizes a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal paired with a 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod for consistent friction control. Because this model lacks the -S suffix, it is not equipped with a built-in magnet and cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic position sensing. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the overall assembly lightweight and inherently compact.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X30CA Is Used
Circuit Board Ejector
Provides a fast 30 mm kick to push finished PCBs from an SMT line, using the tuned air cushion to stop the 402 N stroke smoothly without cracking the board edges.
Pouch Sorting Diverter
Swings via its CA pivot clevis to briefly angle lightweight packaging pouches onto a secondary belt, absorbing the rapid directional change without end-cover impact.
Connector Insertion Press
Applies precise short-stroke force to seat electronic pin headers into housings, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent crushing delicate plastic components.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X30CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the 25 mm version yields 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N—ideal if your payload outgrows the 32 mm capacity. The MBLC32X30CA is the optimal choice over the standard MBL when your application cycles at high frequency or moves a heavier mass that would overwhelm a simple fixed bumper. To replace this unit, match the 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and lack of a magnet. Keep in mind that a standard air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it is not a braking lock, so the rod will drift if air pressure is lost or exhausted.
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 MBLC32X30CA 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 force increases to 563 N, with a maximum theoretical output of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a G1/8 port, a Ø12 mm rod, and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread.
This specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, meaning it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a screw needle to restrict exhaust air flow near the stroke end, decelerating the piston to reduce impact; it is a tunable shock absorber, not a load-holding brake.
