About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X10U
The AirTAC MBL25X10U is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for exceptionally tight spaces, delivering 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its 10 mm stroke is tailored for short-travel clamping or ejection tasks. The cylinder features a riveted rolling-packed barrel, meaning the front and rear covers are crimped directly to the tube for a lightweight, compact footprint rather than using heavy tie rods. Inside, a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease to ensure long service life, while the Ø10 mm carbon-steel piston rod is protected by a 20 µm hard-chrome plating for superior wear and corrosion resistance.
This specific SKU includes a U flat-end back cover, providing a rigid, fixed mounting surface at the rear for straightforward inline installation. It uses a default PT tapered port thread (G1/8 size) and lacks the -S magnet suffix, meaning it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch. End-of-stroke impact is managed by a fixed rubber bumper, which softens the landing without adding external bulk.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X10U Is Used
PCB Component Insertion
Provides 245 N of push force ideal for pressing small electronic connectors onto PCBs within high-density pick-and-place machinery.
Pharmaceutical Carton Flap Close
The 10 mm stroke delivers a rapid, short burst to seal small pharmaceutical carton flaps, fitting neatly into compact packaging lanes.
Micro-Clamp Release
Acts as a compact ejection pin in CNC micro-machining fixtures, using its 206 N pull force to retract a small clamping jaw out of the tool path.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X10U the Right Cylinder?
At 245 N push (206 N pull) at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore suits light-duty actuation. If your application requires less force, step down to the 20 mm bore (157 N push); if you need heavier thrust, step up to the 32 mm bore (402 N push). For short 10 mm movements, this base MBL is highly efficient, but note that the fixed rubber bumper cannot be tuned—if you need adjustable end-speed control for heavier moving masses, select the MBLC variant instead. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, position sensing is not possible here; choose an MBL25X10S model if you require electronic or reed switch feedback. As a standard double-acting cylinder, it will not hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the rod will drift, so an external pilot-operated check valve is required for 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 MBL25X10U FAQ
The MBL25X10U delivers 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a G1/8 port size with a PT tapered thread form.
No, the base MBL25X10U uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts, which cannot be adjusted (for adjustable air cushioning, use the MBLC variant). Additionally, this SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches cannot be fitted.
