About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X60U
The AirTAC MBLC32X60U is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation where end-of-stroke impact must be tightly controlled. Delivering 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke unit relies on a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly. Tuning the cushion needle lets you match the deceleration profile to your specific load and velocity, significantly reducing noise, vibration, and end-cover wear on high-frequency lines.
This specific SKU features a U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting and uses a standard PT port thread paired with a G1/8 port. Because this configuration omits the -S magnet code, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and spatially efficient, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures consistent lubrication over its 30-800 mm/s operating speed range.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X60U Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Pushes a linear guide carriage to position circuit boards under a cutting spindle, utilizing the 60 mm stroke and adjustable air cushion to prevent jarring stops that could dislodge small SMD components.
Carton Flap Folder
Actuates a mechanical folding arm on a packaging conveyor, using the 402 N push force to tuck heavy cardboard flaps while the tuned cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of the rapid 60 mm extension.
Connector Insertion Press
Drives a delicate pneumatic press to seat multi-pin electronic connectors into housings, relying on the precise end-deceleration to avoid crushing the plastic housing upon reaching the stroke end.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X60U the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when an application demands roughly 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa but lacks the physical envelope for a larger 40 mm body (which provides 628 N). Conversely, if your load is lighter, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245 N in an even smaller footprint. Choose this MBLC variant over the base MBL when cycle speeds or moved masses exceed what a fixed rubber bumper can safely absorb.
For replacement verification, confirm the 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT thread form, G1/8 port, and the U flat-end back cover. Note that a plain MBLC does not hold position when air is lost or the valve centers; the rod will drift. If pneumatic locking is required for safety, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve must be fitted.
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 MBLC32X60U FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. Because the model code lacks the -S suffix, this specific SKU is manufactured without a built-in piston magnet and cannot host a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch. If electronic or reed switch position detection is required, you must specify an MBLC32X60SU variant.
