About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X60CA
The AirTAC MBLC32X60CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation. It generates 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 60 mm stroke that excels in short-travel positioning tasks. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body lightweight and sealed against debris, avoiding the bulk of traditional tie-rod construction.
This variant features a CA pivot/clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin, accommodating arcing or angular loads that would bind a rigid mount. It replaces the fixed rubber bumper of the standard MBL with a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration for smoother stops. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X60CA Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Drives a 60 mm vertical plunge on a printed circuit board routing spindle, using the 402 N thrust to penetrate the substrate while the air cushion prevents harsh mechanical stops during rapid retraction.
Package Sorting Diverter
Pivots a clevis-mounted deflector gate on a logistics conveyor, swinging the 32 mm bore into place to redirect parcels without shocking the hinge joint.
Connector Press Head
Applies 346 N of pull force to seat electronic ribbon connectors into housing slots, relying on the tunable cushion to avoid crushing delicate components at the end of the 60 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X60CA the Right Cylinder?
The 32 mm bore provides 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your payload is lighter, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push force, while moving up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N for heavier masses. Choose this MBLC model over the base MBL when your cycle speeds are high enough that a fixed rubber bumper would cause impact wear; the adjustable needle allows you to dial in the exact braking resistance needed near the stroke ends.
Keep in mind that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of its travel; it does not lock the rod or hold a load if air pressure is lost. For replacement matching, this cylinder uses a 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, PT port thread, and a CA pivot back cover. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it is not equipped for sensor switches.
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 MBLC32X60CA FAQ
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 increases to 563 N, with a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a G1/8 port, an M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and a PT (tapered) port thread form.
The CA pivot back cover allows the cylinder body to swing on a pin, making it ideal for applications with arcing or angular loads that would damage a rigidly mounted cylinder. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a screw needle to trap exhaust air, decelerating the piston smoothly near the stroke ends to reduce impact, noise, and vibration on faster cycles.
