The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X80CA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm 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 MBLC32X80CA is a compact double-acting mini cylinder with a 32mm bore and 80mm stroke. It generates 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Unlike the base MBL series, this variant uses a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly near stroke extremes. This protects the end covers and reduces impact noise on faster cycling tasks.
This SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. It uses a Ø12mm carbon-steel rod with 20µm hard-chrome plating and a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal. Note that because this specific model lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensor. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light for tight machinery spaces.

Drives the tensioning arm on a weaving loom where the CA clevis accommodates the pivoting fabric guide, using the 80mm stroke to maintain steady yarn tension.
Flicks lightweight plastic bottles on a packaging line at high speed, relying on the adjustable air cushion to silently brake the 402N push stroke.
Advances a shuttle carrying unpopulated circuit boards into a pick-and-place machine, fitting into a tight electronics assembly cell.
Choose this 32mm bore when you need around 402N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, step down to the 25mm bore which provides 245N of push force. If you need more power, step up to the 40mm bore which yields 628N. Select the MBLC over the fixed-bumper MBL when your cycle speeds exceed the capacity of a rubber bumper and you need screw-tunable end-of-stroke deceleration.
The CA pivot back cover is ideal for loads that move through an arc, preventing rod binding. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet code, you cannot fit a CMSG reed or DMSG electronic sensor for position detection. Keep in mind that a plain double-acting cylinder does not hold position if air pressure drops; the rod drifts. For positive holding without live air, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Replacement parts require matching the 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, PT thread form, and CA pivot cover.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402N of push force and 346N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push force increases to 563N. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s.
No, because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensor switches. You would need the MBLC32X80S variant for position detection.
