The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X60SCA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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 MBLC32X60SCA is a double-acting, 32mm bore aluminum mini cylinder with a 60mm stroke. It generates 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Unlike the base MBL, this MBLC variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both stroke ends. You tune the needle to smoothly decelerate the payload, minimizing end-cover impact and vibration on faster cycles without acting as a load lock.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads, plus a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact for tight machine layouts, while the 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod resists wear. The heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains lubrication for the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

Drives a 60mm yarn guide arm on a weaving loom, using the CA pivot to absorb angular misalignment while the cushion prevents sudden thread snaps at 402 N force.
Actuates a sealing jaw on a vertical form-fill-seal pouch machine, where the -S magnet confirms the 60mm close position and the air cushion softens the 346 N retract stop.
Folds corrugated carton flaps at high speed on a packaging line, relying on the tunable cushion to protect the aluminum end covers from repeated 563 N impact shocks.
At 0.5 MPa, this 32mm bore yields 402 N push and 346 N pull. If you need less force, stepping down to the 25mm bore gives 245 N push / 206 N pull; if your payload is heavier, stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628 N push / 528 N pull. Choose this MBLC over the fixed-bumper MBL when your application runs at higher speeds or cycles frequently and needs tunable end-of-stroke deceleration.
Because this is a plain pneumatic cylinder, it will not hold position if air is lost or the valve centers—the cushion only decelerates near the ends, it does not lock. For exact replacements, match the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, PT thread form, CA pivot cover, and the -S magnet. With a 60mm stroke, side-load risk is minimal, but always ensure the CA clevis pin is aligned to the direction of travel.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the 32mm bore provides 402 N push and 346 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, it yields 563 N push and 484 N pull. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The CA back cover is a clevis that swings on a pin to handle arcing loads. The -S code means a built-in magnet is fitted, allowing you to track rod position with AirTAC CMSG (reed), DMSG, or EMSG (electronic) sensor switches.
