About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X30U
The AirTAC MBLC32X30U is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The 30 mm stroke is tailored for short-travel clamping or ejection tasks where space is highly restricted.
Unlike the base MBL series, this variant incorporates a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. You tune the needle to smoothly decelerate the piston near the stroke extremes, absorbing kinetic energy to protect the rigid U flat-end cover and reduce impact noise. 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.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X30U Is Used
PCB Router Spindle Clamp
Secures a depaneling router motor with 402 N of push force. The 30 mm stroke accommodates tight Z-axis clearances, while the tuned air cushion prevents shock from transferring into precision spindle bearings.
Cartoner Product Ejector
Pushes small cartons into a packaging flight at speed. The short 30 mm travel and adjustable end-cushioning minimize impact vibration on the machine's lightweight aluminum gripper frame.
IC Test Handler Stopper
Acts as a hard stop for moving test trays. The 346 N pull force retracts the stopper clear of the tray path, and the cushion needle damps the sudden stop to protect delicate silicon wafers.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X30U the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when a 25 mm bore (providing 245 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks sufficient power, but you want to avoid stepping up to a 40 mm bore (628 N push) that consumes more air. The MBLC is the correct choice over the standard MBL if your short 30 mm move cycles at high frequency or carries enough mass to warrant tunable end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a fixed rubber bumper.
Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept an AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. If your application requires end-of-stroke confirmation, you must select an MBLC32X30S variant instead. Note that the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel; it does not lock the rod or hold position 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 MBLC32X30U FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/8 port and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread.
No. This specific SKU does not have the -S suffix, meaning it lacks a built-in magnet. To use CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors, you must order an MBLC32X30S model instead.
