About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X80SCA
The AirTAC MBLC32X80SCA is a double-acting, adjustable-air-cushion mini cylinder built on a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel for compact, lightweight duty. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402 N push and 346 N pull force, making this 80 mm stroke well suited to mid-travel positioning tasks. The CA pivot back cover swings on a pin to absorb angular motion, while the built-in magnet enables position detection.
Unlike the base MBL’s fixed rubber bumper, this MBLC variant uses a screw-tunable pneumatic cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly near stroke limits. It protects the end covers on faster or heavier moves, but it is a deceleration device, not a load lock. A heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal and a 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod ensure consistent friction and wear resistance.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X80SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Let-Off
Governs the tensioning beam on a weaving loom, using the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa and CA pivot to accommodate the slight angular warp-thread alignment.
Packaging Flap Folder
Drives a carton flap folder at high cycle rates, relying on the adjustable air cushion to prevent end-cap hammering during rapid 80 mm strokes.
PCB Shuttle Transfer
Positions a printed-circuit-board shuttle with the -S magnet and DMSG electronic sensor for precise end-of-travel detection before the pick-and-place head descends.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X80SCA the Right Cylinder?
For lighter moves stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N if you need more authority. Choose this MBLC over the fixed-bumper MBL when cycling fast or moving enough mass that impact shock would damage the end covers. A plain double-acting cylinder drifts if air is lost; this adjustable cushion only decelerates near the ends and will not hold position, so add an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. The exact replacement match is: 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, PT port thread, CA pivot back cover, and an -S built-in magnet.

- ✓ 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 MBLC32X80SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull force; at 0.7 MPa it provides 563 N push. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at both ends releases trapped air to smoothly decelerate the piston near the stroke limits. You tune the needle to match the load and speed, cutting impact shock and noise on high-frequency moves; it is strictly a deceleration device, not a load lock or brake.
