About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X50CA
The AirTAC MBLC32X50CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 50mm stroke. It delivers 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5MPa, making it well-suited for compact mid-range actuation. The CA designation indicates a pivot clevis back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads.
Unlike the standard MBL series with its fixed rubber bumper, this MBLC variant utilizes a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. You can tune the needle to smoothly decelerate the load near the stroke endpoints, reducing impact shock and vibration. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and compact, while the Ø12mm carbon-steel rod features 20µm hard-chrome plating for wear resistance. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X50CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Drives a yarn guide arm on a textile loom, using the 50mm stroke and CA pivot to accommodate the slight angular sweep while the air cushion prevents sudden end-cover impacts at high cycle rates.
Bottling Line Diverter
Pushes lightweight aluminum cans onto a packaging conveyor, where the 402N push force easily overcomes friction and the cushioned ends stop the rod smoothly without jarring the product.
Pneumatic Clamp Pivot
Actuates a swinging clamp arm on a small-parts welding fixture, relying on the clevis mount to handle the off-center load as the 32mm bore provides consistent clamping pressure.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X50CA the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, the 25mm bore version provides 245N of push force at 0.5MPa; for heavier demands, stepping up to the 40mm bore yields 628N. Choose this MBLC model over the base MBL when your cycle speeds are higher or the moved mass is greater, as the fixed bumper on the base MBL cannot absorb repeated heavy impacts. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it is not a brake. If you need to hold position without live air, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The replacement match for this unit is: 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, no magnet, double-acting.
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 MBLC32X50CA FAQ
At 0.5MPa, this 32mm bore cylinder provides 402N of push force and 346N of pull force. At 0.7MPa, the push increases to 563N, and it reaches a theoretical maximum of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800mm/s.
A screw needle valve at each end lets you tune the pneumatic cushioning to match your load and speed. By restricting exhaust flow near the stroke end, it decelerates the piston smoothly, cutting impact noise and protecting the end covers on faster cycles. It is strictly a deceleration device, not a load lock.
