About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X100CAG
The AirTAC MBL25X100CAG is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces where a larger profile body will not fit. It delivers a push force of 245 N and a pull force of 206 N at 0.5 MPa, making this 100 mm stroke variant well suited for mid-range part ejection or positioning tasks. The body uses a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel, permanently crimping the front and rear covers to the tube for extreme lightness rather than bulky tie-rod disassembly.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that swings on a pin to safely accommodate arcing or angular loads, paired with a G-thread (BSPP) port form. The internal piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long service life, while the Ø10 mm carbon-steel rod is protected by 20 um hard-chrome plating for wear resistance. Because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensor. End-of-stroke impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X100CAG Is Used
Textile Loom Guide Arms
The CA pivot back cover swings smoothly on a pin to follow the arcing motion of textile loom guide arms, while the 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably shifts yarn carriers within a compact frame.
PCB Conveyor Sorting Gates
Actuates small diverter gates on electronics conveyor lines where the 100 mm stroke pushes lightweight PCB trays into secondary routing lanes without requiring bulky ISO profile cylinders.
Connector Insertion Jigs
Provides the precise 206 N pull force needed to retract a connector insertion jig in tight semiconductor assembly machines, utilizing the compact riveted aluminum barrel to save valuable deck space.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X100CAG the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, stepping down to the Ø20 bore yields 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa; conversely, moving up to the Ø32 bore provides 402 N for heavier payloads. For this 100 mm stroke, the CA pivot back cover is an excellent choice to mitigate minor rod side-loading, though an external guide is recommended if the load geometry imposes severe lateral stress. Keep in mind that a plain MBL cylinder does not hold its position or load when air pressure is lost or exhausted—the rod will drift, as the fixed rubber bumper only softens end-of-stroke impact and acts as no mechanical lock. For applications needing faster cycle speeds with heavier masses, consider the MBLC variant which features an adjustable air cushion. When ordering a replacement, verify the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port size, G thread form, and CA pivot back cover.
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 MBL25X100CAG FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore cylinder provides 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts, not an adjustable air cushion (you would need the MBLC variant for that). Additionally, because this SKU lacks the -S suffix for a built-in magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensors.
