About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X400CA
The AirTAC MBLC32X400CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 400 mm stroke. It generates 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. A screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both stroke ends replaces the standard fixed rubber bumper, letting you dial in deceleration to protect the end covers on long, fast 400 mm traverses.
This SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. Because this specific code lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact, while the Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod is plated with 20 µm hard chrome to resist wear.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X400CA Is Used
Textile Loom Weft Feeder
Drives the weft insertion arm across a 400 mm loom bed. The tunable air cushion prevents sudden end-cover impact during high-frequency weaving cycles, while the CA clevis handles the pivot arc.
Bottling Line Diverter
Pushes glass bottles onto a packaging lane using 402 N of force. The 400 mm travel accommodates varying container widths, and the cushion needle is adjusted to softly stop the fast-moving rod.
Warehouse Tray Sorter
Actuates a 400 mm routing gate for order bins. The pivot clevis absorbs side loads from the swinging gate, and the compact riveted aluminum body fits within the tight conveyor frame.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X400CA the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore yields 402 N push and 346 N pull. If your payload is lighter, stepping down to the 25 mm bore drops the output to 245 N push, whereas moving up to the 40 mm bore raises it to 628 N push. Choose the MBLC over the base MBL when your cycle speeds exceed what a fixed rubber bumper can absorb without causing damaging impact. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it is not a brake and will not hold the load if air pressure drops. For this 400 mm stroke, the small Ø12 mm rod has low side-load tolerance, so you must use an external guide, the CA pivot, or an MBLD double-rod cylinder to prevent rod bending. Replacement match: 32 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA back cover, no magnet.
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 MBLC32X400CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder 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, it has no built-in magnet and cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. You would need the MBLC32X400SCA variant for reed or electronic solid-state position detection.
