About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X10CA
The AirTAC MBL25X10CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it delivers 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force over a short 10 mm stroke, making it ideal for precise part ejection or clamping in confined assembly machinery. As a genuine AirTAC component, it features a riveted rolling-packed barrel that permanently crimps the front and rear covers to the tube for a lightweight, space-saving body that is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that allows the cylinder body to swing freely on a pin, accommodating arcing or angular loads during the 10 mm travel. The bore utilizes a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for long service life, paired with a carbon-steel piston rod featuring 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance. Because this model lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot support a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch. The end-of-stroke impact is managed by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X10CA Is Used
Stamping Die Stripper
Fits inside compact progressive stamping dies to act as a short-travel stripper plate, using its 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa to shed sheet metal blanks while the CA pivot absorbs slight angular misalignment.
PCB Router Clamping
Secures printed circuit board panels inside an electronics depaneling router, where the 10 mm stroke and 206 N pull force hold the FR4 substrate rigidly without overwhelming the fragile substrate.
Carton Flap Breaker
Mounts on a packaging line pivot arm to break the leading flap of small cartons, leveraging the short 10 mm stroke and CA clevis design to maintain mechanical alignment as the arm swings.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X10CA the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, the neighboring Ø20 bore provides 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a Ø32 bore yields 402 N if your 10 mm stroke needs more power. The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-stop impact; if your process demands adjustable end-of-stroke deceleration for heavier moving masses, select the MBLC variant instead. Keep in mind that a plain MBL does not hold its position or load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the rod will drift or drop. If your application requires position holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Replacement matching requires a 25 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 port size, PT tapered thread form, and the CA pivot back cover. No mounting accessory (like an LB foot or FA flange) is specified in this code, so the cylinder is configured for direct clevis mounting. The fixed rubber bumper is standard, and no magnet is present for sensor detection.
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 MBL25X10CA FAQ
The MBL25X10CA operates on a G1/8 port with a Ø10 mm rod and M10x1.25 rod-end thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 343 N, and the maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, meaning it has no internal magnet and cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper at the end of the stroke; it does not feature an adjustable air cushion. If you need adjustable end-cushioning, select the MBLC variant.
