About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X350U
The AirTAC MBLC32X350U is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered with a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. Delivering a 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore, 350 mm stroke unit is built for longer travel in tight envelopes. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps weight down while securely housing the 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot host a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.
Unlike the base MBL which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, the MBLC utilizes needle valves to trap and bleed exhaust air, decelerating the piston smoothly near each stroke end. This protects the U flat-end back cover and end caps from impact damage during high-velocity or frequent cycling. The cushion is strictly an end-of-stroke deceleration feature; it does not lock the rod or hold position if air pressure drops.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X350U Is Used
PCB Panel Push-off
Ejects populated printed circuit boards from an SMT line conveyor using a smooth 350 mm travel. The adjustable air cushion ensures the 402 N push does not jolt the delicate panel at the end of the stroke.
Carton Flap Folder
Extends 350 mm to fold long corrugated carton flaps in continuous packaging lines. Tunable end-cushioning prevents the cylinder body from shaking loose during rapid, repetitive cycling.
Textile Yarn Guide
Traverses a yarn guide carriage across a 350 mm path at high speed. The riveted aluminum barrel provides a lightweight, compact footprint while the cushion needle damps the rapid direction changes.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X350U the Right Cylinder?
This 32 mm bore generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your assembly requires less force, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N, while moving up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N for heavier payloads. Choose this MBLC variant over the standard MBL when operating speeds or cycle frequencies are high enough that a fixed rubber bumper would wear prematurely or cause damaging end-of-stroke shock.
With a 350 mm stroke, the Ø12 mm piston rod is highly susceptible to side-loading and bending under offset loads. To prevent premature seal wear and rod damage, guide the load externally using linear rails, select a CA pivot or SDB pivot bracket for arcing motions, or switch to an MBLD double-rod cylinder. This specific configuration features a U flat-end back cover for rigid mounting, G1/8 porting, and PT thread form. It is supplied without a magnet, so external limit switches or mechanical stops are required for position detection.
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 MBLC32X350U FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/8 port and a Ø12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 563 N push and 484 N pull. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. Because the model code lacks the -S suffix, this unit is manufactured without a built-in magnet. It cannot trigger AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. You must use external mechanical or proximity sensors for end-of-stroke detection.
