About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X500U
The AirTAC MBLC32X500U is a double-acting, 32mm bore aluminum mini cylinder engineered for a 500mm stroke. It produces 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Unlike the base MBL, this variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to match heavier loads or faster cycling speeds, protecting the end covers from impact damage.
This U back cover provides a rigid flat-end rear mounting for straightforward inline installations. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The body utilizes a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel for a compact footprint, while the 12mm carbon-steel rod features 20um hard-chrome plating paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for lasting lubrication.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X500U Is Used
CNC Lathe Bar Feeder
Pushes 3-meter bar stock through a spindle over the 500mm stroke, using the tuned air cushion to prevent jerky stops that would mark the metal.
Pallet Accumulator Stop
Halts heavy pallets on a transfer line; the adjustable cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of the moving load smoothly at the end of travel.
Vertical Lift Gate
Raises a compact access gate in a packaging machine, relying on the 402N thrust and rigid U back cover to maintain inline alignment.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X500U the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 32mm bore generates 402N push and 346N pull. If you need less force, step down to the 25mm bore (245N push); for higher thrust, step up to the 40mm bore (628N push). Choose this MBLC over the fixed-bumper MBL when your cycle speed or moving mass makes a rubber bumper insufficient. Note that a plain double-acting cylinder does not hold position if air pressure drops; for fail-safe holding, add an external rod lock. Replacements must match: 32mm bore, 500mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U flat-end back cover, and no magnet. With a 500mm stroke on a 12mm rod, side-load tolerance is low; use an external guide, a CA/SDB pivot, or an MBLD double-rod cylinder to prevent rod bending.
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 MBLC32X500U FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 402N push and 346N pull. At 0.7 MPa, it delivers 563N push and 484N pull. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU lacks the -S code, so it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends is screw-tuned to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke ends, reducing impact; it is a damping device, not a load lock.
