Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD32X10
The AirTAC Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD32X10 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm stroke. A rod exits both end covers, so extend and retract force are EQUAL — about 346 N each way at 0.5 MPa. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).

About the Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD32X10
The AirTAC MBLCD32X10 is a compact 32mm bore double-acting twin-rod mini cylinder with a 10mm stroke. Because a Ø12mm carbon-steel rod protrudes from both end covers, the effective piston area is identical on extend and retract, yielding a perfectly balanced 346N force at 0.5MPa in either direction. The riveted aluminum barrel houses a grease-retaining two-way piston seal, and screw-tunable air cushions at both ends absorb impact energy on this very short 10mm travel.
This specific configuration uses standard PT tapered port threading (G1/8) and lacks the -S magnet suffix, meaning it cannot host CMSG reed or DMSG solid-state sensors. The twin-rod architecture provides inherent anti-rotation resistance, making it ideal for guiding light tooling slides where a single rod would twist. Overall length equals the base body dimension plus twice the 10mm stroke, so you must account for rear-rod protrusion clearance when designing your mounting layout.
Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD32X10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD32X10 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Adjustable air cushion (both ends) |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 500 mm |
Double-rod overall length = A + 2 × stroke — leave clearance for the rear rod. MBLD/MBLCD mounting is Basic / FA / LB only (no SDB, no back-cover code). Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Output Force (Ø32mm, equal both ways)
| Pressure | Extend & retract force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 kgf |
A rod on both piston faces makes the annulus area equal, so extend and retract force (and speed) are the same. Actual usable force is lower due to friction.

Where the Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD32X10 Is Used
Short-Stroke Pick-and-Place
Drives a 10mm vertical gripper jaw on PCB assembly handlers, using the equal 346N bidirectional force to ensure consistent pickup and release without speed asymmetry.
Anti-Rotation Part Divertor
Indexes a small plastic component on a packaging line over a 10mm gap; the twin rods prevent the diverter arm from twisting under offset side loads.
Cushioned Stamping Pin
Executes rapid 10mm micro-stamping on thin sheet metal, relying on the adjustable air cushions to prevent end-cover damage during high-frequency 800mm/s cycling.
Is the Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD32X10 the Right Cylinder?
For a 10mm stroke application, the 32mm bore offers a mid-range footprint. If you need less force to save space, stepping down to the 25mm bore drops the output to 206N at 0.5MPa. If your mechanism requires more push, moving up to the 40mm bore increases the bidirectional force to 528N at 0.5MPa. Choose this MBLCD variant over the base MBLD when your cycle speed demands adjustable end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a fixed rubber bumper. Mounting is restricted to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no back-cover or SDB pivot option. Since this is a non-locking cylinder, the rod will drift if air pressure drops, so fit an external locking mechanism if you need fail-safe position holding.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Equal force both ways at your pressure
- ✓ Rear-rod clearance (length = A + 2 × stroke)
- ✓ Mounting: Basic / FA / LB only
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — add a guide on long strokes
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Leave clearance for the rear rod (length = A + 2 × stroke).
- check Avoid side load; add an external guide on long strokes.
- check Mounting: Basic / FA flange / LB foot (no SDB, no back-cover code).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD32X10 FAQ
Because a rod occupies both sides of the piston, the extend and retract forces are equal. It delivers 346N at 0.5MPa and 484N at 0.7MPa in both directions, with a theoretical maximum of 71kgf at 1.0MPa.
No. This specific SKU lacks the built-in -S magnet, so it cannot trigger AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches. You must select the MBLCD32X10S variant if you require position feedback.
