About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X60SU
The AirTAC MBLC32X60SU is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered with a screw-adjustable air cushion at both stroke ends. Delivering 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke unit smoothly decelerates payloads near the end of travel, reducing impact stress on the end covers during fast cycling. The 60 mm stroke provides a short, precise extension ideal for tight machinery layouts.
This configuration includes a U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting and a built-in magnet (-S) for compatibility with AirTAC CMSG reed and DMSG or EMSG electronic sensor switches to detect piston position. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body lightweight and compact, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains lubrication over high-frequency cycles. The Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion in demanding industrial environments.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X60SU Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Drives a 60 mm plunge on a printed circuit board routing spindle, using the tunable cushion to soften the upper stop and protect the 402 N thrust bearings during rapid retraction.
IC Tray Ejector
Pushes integrated circuit trays out of a testing nest, relying on the DMSG electronic sensor switch to confirm the 60 mm stroke fully extends before the conveyor advances.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds small cardboard flaps on a packaging line, where the compact riveted aluminum barrel fits within the narrow 32 mm clearance of the side sealing head.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X60SU the Right Cylinder?
For this 32 mm bore providing 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, you can step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push) for lighter loads, or step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push) when moving heavier assemblies. Choose this MBLC cushioned variant over the base MBL when your cycle speeds exceed the capacity of a fixed rubber bumper, requiring tunable end-of-stroke deceleration to prevent impact damage.
The U flat-end back cover provides a rigid, stationary mount, while the PT tapered port thread ensures a tight pneumatic seal. Because the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends, it is not a locking mechanism; the rod will drift if air is exhausted or the valve centers. For position holding without live air pressure, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
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 MBLC32X60SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore provides 402 N push and 346 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, it delivers 563 N push, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/8 port, a Ø12 mm rod, and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread.
The cushion is a screw-tunable needle valve at both ends that traps a small pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly before it hits the end cover. You adjust it to match your load and speed, which is critical for high-frequency 60 mm moves where a fixed rubber bumper would degrade or cause impact shock.
