About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X30SU
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.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X30SU Is Used
PCB Reject Gate
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.
Small Part Stamping
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.
Carton Flap Folder
Tucks minor flaps on a packaging conveyor in a confined space, where the compact riveted barrel and CMSG sensor confirmation ensure timed sequencing.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X30SU the Right Cylinder?
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.

- ✓ 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 MBLC32X30SU FAQ
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.
