About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X30SCA
The AirTAC MBLC32X30SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a 32mm bore and 30mm stroke, delivering 402N push and 346N pull force at 0.5MPa. It features a screw-adjustable air cushion at both ends to smoothly decelerate the piston near stroke limits, cutting impact wear on faster cycles. The built-in -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches to track rod position, while the CA pivot back cover swings on a pin to handle arcing angular loads.
This compact actuator uses a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel for light weight in tight spaces, paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal. The Ø12mm carbon-steel rod has 20µm hard-chrome plating for wear resistance. The PT tapered port threads match the G1/8 air supply, making it ideal for short, precise positioning tasks.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X30SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Drives a 30mm yarn guide arm on a textile loom, using the CA pivot to accommodate the arc while the cushion softens the rapid 402N directional shifts.
PCB Shuttle Pusher
Shuttles bare PCB panels into a pick-and-place machine, relying on the -S magnet and DMSG sensor to confirm the 30mm stroke end for precise indexing.
Bottle Deflector
Actuates a 32mm deflector gate on a bottling line, where the adjustable air cushion prevents hard slamming during high-speed 800mm/s routing.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X30SCA the Right Cylinder?
For lower force needs, step down to the 25mm bore (245N push at 0.5MPa); for heavier moves, step up to the 40mm bore (628N push). Choose this MBLC over the base MBL when your cycle speeds or payload masses exceed what a fixed rubber bumper can absorb. Remember, the air cushion only decelerates near the ends; it does not lock the rod. If you need position holding without live air, add an external rod lock. The CA clevis mount is ideal for pivoting mechanisms, and the PT thread, M10x1.25 rod end, and -S magnet match the standard 32mm configuration.
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 MBLC32X30SCA FAQ
At 0.5MPa, it provides 402N push and 346N pull. At 0.7MPa, it delivers 563N push. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa.
The CA pivot allows the cylinder to swing on a pin for arcing loads, while the screw-adjustable air cushion at both ends traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly. It is tuned via a needle valve, not a lock or brake.
