About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X450CA
The AirTAC MBLC32X450CA is a double-acting, adjustable-air-cushion mini cylinder built on a riveted aluminum barrel. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (346 N pull), this 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke unit is engineered for compact setups needing smooth, tunable end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a fixed rubber bumper. The screw-adjustable pneumatic cushions at both ends absorb kinetic energy to protect the end covers during fast or heavy moves.
This specific configuration uses a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads, which is critical at 450 mm where side-loading risks rod bending. It features a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating and a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal. Note that without a built-in magnet (-S), this SKU cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X450CA Is Used
Textile Loom Beater
Drives the 450 mm stroking beater mechanism on a weaving loom, using the CA clevis to absorb angular path deviations while the air cushion cushions the rapid 402 N return stroke.
Package Diverter Arm
Actuates a pivoting diverter gate on a packaging conveyor, where the tunable cushion ensures soft, vibration-free stops during high-frequency 450 mm routing cycles.
Warehouse Shuttle Extraction
Extracts totes from multi-level shuttle storage racks, relying on the 346 N pull force and smooth end-cover deceleration to prevent tote spillage at high speeds.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X450CA the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore yields 402 N push and 346 N pull. If your application requires less force, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push), or if you need more power, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push). Choose this MBLC cushioned variant over the base MBL when cycling speeds are high or the moved mass is heavy enough that a fixed rubber bumper would fail. The PT threaded G1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod-end thread are standard for this bore. Keep in mind the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it is not a brake and will not hold the load if air pressure drops. For a 450 mm stroke, the CA pivot mounting is highly recommended to manage side-load and prevent rod bending, though an external guide or the MBLD double-rod type offers even greater rigidity.
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 MBLC32X450CA FAQ
The 32 mm bore generates 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper on the base MBL, the MBLC32X450CA features a screw-tunable pneumatic needle at both ends. You adjust the exhaust restriction to match your load and speed, decelerating the piston smoothly near the 450 mm stroke ends to cut impact noise and vibration.
