About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL20X200SCA
The AirTAC MBL20X200SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it provides 157 N of push force and 132 N of pull force across its 200 mm stroke. The integrated -S magnet allows for precise end-position detection using AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. This specific SKU features a CA pivot back cover, enabling the cylinder body to swing on a pin to safely accommodate arcing or angular loads during movement.
Built with a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel, the front and rear covers are crimped to the tube for an exceptionally lightweight footprint, though this design is not intended to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod body. The Ø8 mm carbon-steel piston rod features 20 μm hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed rubber bumper, which softens impact but does not lock the rod in place if air pressure is lost.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL20X200SCA Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Swings a cutting tool arm over a 200 mm span to separate printed circuit boards, using the CA pivot to maintain tool alignment without binding the small Ø8 mm rod.
Semiconductor Wafer Gate
Actuates a lightweight access door on a processing chamber, relying on the -S magnet and DMSG solid-state sensor to confirm door closure for safety interlocks.
Pharmaceutical Carton Flap
Folds secondary carton flaps at high speeds, where the 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa is sufficient and the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the rapid end-of-stroke impact.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL20X200SCA the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the MBL20X200SCA is ideal when your application requires a small-bore cylinder to drive a pivoting load through a 200 mm arc. If you need less force, the smaller MBL16 bore is not available in this series, making this the most compact option; if you require more power, stepping up to the MBL25X200 increases your 0.5 MPa push force to 245 N. Because this 200 mm stroke pushes the limits of the Ø8 mm rod, the CA clevis back cover is highly recommended over the fixed U type to prevent side-load binding. For heavy end-impacts, consider the MBLC variant which replaces the fixed rubber bumper with an adjustable air cushion.
When matching this cylinder for replacement, verify the 20 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port size, default PT thread form, CA pivot back cover, and the built-in -S magnet. Note that the fixed rubber bumper only softens the end-of-stroke impact; it will not hold a load vertically if air pressure is exhausted or the valve is centered. An external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe position 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 MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL20X200SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers a push force of 157 N and a pull force of 132 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 220 N, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s, uses a G1/8 port, and accepts a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
The base MBL20X200SCA uses a fixed rubber bumper that cannot be adjusted; for adjustable air cushioning, you must step up to the MBLC variant. The CA back cover is a pivot/clevis type that allows the cylinder body to swing on a pin, which is essential for accommodating arcing or angular loads without damaging the piston rod.
