The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X30SU is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Its compact riveted body suits push, hold and clamp motion in tight machine spaces.
The AirTAC MBLC32X30SU is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation, delivering a push force of 402 N and pull force of 346 N at 0.5 MPa. Its 30 mm stroke is tailored for short-trroke sequencing where space is tight but immediate power is required. Unlike the base MBL, this variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration to protect end covers on faster moves.
This unit integrates a built-in magnet (the -S code) for position detection via AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG and EMSG solid-state sensor switches. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light, while the 20 µm hard-chrome plating on the carbon-steel rod defends against wear. A flat-end U back cover provides rigid rear mounting for straightforward inline installations.

Snaps a diverter 30 mm to eject faulty circuit boards on an SMT line, using the 402 N push force and tuned air cushion to stop instantly without vibrating delicate solder joints.
Drives a short 30 mm marking press for metal tags, relying on the adjustable cushion to absorb the 346 N retract impact during high-frequency cycling.
Tucks minor flaps on a packaging conveyor in a confined space, where the compact riveted barrel and CMSG sensor confirmation ensure timed sequencing.
Select this 32 mm bore when you need more thrust than the 25 mm version (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) but lack the space for a 40 mm cylinder (628 N push). The 30 mm stroke excels at rapid, short displacements where the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh stopping. Remember that the cushion only decelerates near the ends; it is not a brake, so a plain MBLC will drift if air is lost or the valve centers. Use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. This exact replacement matches: 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U flat-end cover, no mounting bracket, and an -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, output increases to 563 N push and 484 N pull. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The MBLC features a screw-adjustable air cushion at both ends. You tune the needle to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke ends, which cuts impact noise and end-cover wear on faster or heavier loads. It decelerates only; it does not lock the load.
