The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X450SCA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 450mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Its compact riveted body suits push, hold and clamp motion in tight machine spaces.
The AirTAC MBLC32X450SCA is a double-acting, adjustable air cushion mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation across a 450 mm stroke. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, scaling to a maximum theoretical output of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and spatially efficient, avoiding the bulk of a rebuildable tie-rod construction.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads, which is crucial for a 450 mm stroke. The -S code indicates a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. The 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod pairs with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal to maintain lubrication over long travel distances.

Drives the 450 mm reed motion on automated weaving looms, using the tunable cushion to silently decelerate the 402 N push force without jarring the warp threads.
Actuates a 450 mm swing arm to divert pallets on a packaging line, where the CA pivot clevis absorbs the angular arc and the cushion softens the 346 N pull stop.
Ejects filled cartons from a tight-space packing station, relying on the compact riveted barrel to fit within the machine frame while cycling at high frequency.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. Choose this MBLC variant over the base MBL when the 450 mm stroke requires smooth, tunable deceleration at high cycling speeds to prevent end-cover impact, as the base MBL relies on a fixed rubber bumper. At 450 mm, the Ø12 mm rod has limited side-load tolerance; the CA pivot clevis absorbs misalignment, but an external guide or MBLD double-rod cylinder is strongly recommended to prevent rod bending. Replacement match: 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA back cover, built-in magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The maximum theoretical output is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The screw-tunable pneumatic cushion at both stroke ends decelerates the piston smoothly near the end of travel to reduce impact and vibration, but it is not a load lock or brake. The -S code indicates a built-in magnet for position detection via CMSG reed switches or DMSG and EMSG electronic solid-state sensors.
