Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD32X40S
The AirTAC Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD32X40S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm 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 MBLCD32X40S
The AirTAC MBLCD32X40S is a compact double-acting twin-rod mini cylinder featuring an adjustable air cushion at both ends. A Ø12mm rod protrudes from each cover, yielding equal push and pull forces of 346N at 0.5MPa. The 40mm stroke is ideal for short, precise dual-side actuation.
Because the annulus area is identical on both sides, extend and retract speeds match perfectly. The twin-rod geometry resists torsional rotation, letting you mount a cam or secondary tool on the rear rod while the front rod drives the primary load. Unlike the fixed rubber bumper in the MBLD, the screw-tunable cushion valves on this unit decelerate heavier 32mm loads at stroke ends, protecting the aluminum end covers from impact shock.

| Model | Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD32X40S |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 40 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 MBLCD32X40S Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives a dual-sided cutting blade carriage on a 40mm stroke, using the equal both-way 346N force to maintain consistent cutting speed and chip clearance.
Textile Guiding Arm
Uses the twin-rod anti-rotation resistance to hold a ceramic yarn guide flat, while the rear rod mounts a trip-flag for a DMSG electronic sensor.
Pick-and-Place Gripper
Cushioned end-of-stroke deceleration protects the end covers during rapid 40mm vertical gripper open/close cycles on a surface mount machine.
Is the Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD32X40S the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the 25mm bore delivers 206N at 0.5MPa; stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 528N at 0.5MPa. Choose this MBLCD over the single-rod MBLC when you need anti-rotation guidance or a rear-rod flag, and over the MBLD when your cycle speed requires tunable deceleration rather than a fixed bumper.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; the MBLCD series omits the SDB pivot and back-cover options entirely. This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors. Note that the adjustable cushion only decelerates near stroke ends; it is not a lock, so an external device is required to hold position without live air. Replacement match: 32mm bore, 40mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, Basic mount, with magnet.
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 MBLCD32X40S FAQ
Because a rod exits both ends, the effective area is equal in both directions. The push and pull forces are identical: 346N at 0.5MPa, 484N at 0.7MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 71kgf at 1.0MPa.
It features an adjustable air cushion at both ends. You tune the needle valves to decelerate the load before it hits the end cover, which is critical for faster cycles. This protects the covers and is superior to the MBLD's fixed rubber bumper, though it does not lock the rod.
