About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X80SU
The AirTAC MBLC32X80SU is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered to deliver 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Driven by a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard-chrome plating, this 80 mm stroke unit is purpose-built for mid-range linear actuation where space is tight but impact control matters. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and sealed without relying on heavy tie-rods.
Unlike the base MBL bumper variant, this MBLC model features a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both stroke ends. You tune the needle valve to decelerate the piston smoothly, absorbing kinetic energy to cut end-cover impact, noise, and vibration on faster or heavier moves. The U flat-end back cover provides a rigid rear mount, and the built-in magnet (-S) enables direct position detection with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X80SU Is Used
PCB Router Gantry
Drives a small routing head on an 80 mm stroke across printed circuit boards, using the adjustable cushion to prevent end-of-stroke jarring that could misalign fine cutting bits.
Carton Flap Folder
Actuates a folding arm on a packaging line, generating 402 N of push force to tuck heavy cardboard flaps while the cushioned ends absorb the kinetic energy of rapid cycling.
Connector Pick-and-Place
Moves electronic connectors into test sockets, relying on the -S magnet and a DMSG solid-state sensor to confirm exact insertion depth before the test sequence begins.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC32X80SU the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when an application requires roughly 400 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa but cannot fit a larger 40 mm body (which provides 628 N). If your load is lighter, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push force in an even smaller footprint. Choose this MBLC cushioned version over the standard MBL when cycle speeds are high or the moved mass is substantial enough that a fixed rubber bumper would wear out prematurely. For exact replacements, match the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U flat-end cover, and the -S magnet. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; a plain cylinder does not hold position if air pressure is lost, so add an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
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 MBLC32X80SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/8 port, a Ø12 mm rod, and operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s.
The cushion is a screw-tunable needle valve at both ends that traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly before impact, which is ideal for heavy or fast loads. It is not a brake and does not lock the rod. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can mount AirTAC CMSG reed switches or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors for position detection.
