The AirTAC Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X150-CA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 150mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Its compact riveted body suits push, hold and clamp motion in tight machine spaces.
The AirTAC MBL25X150-CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It features a 25mm bore and 150mm stroke, generating 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The CA pivot back cover allows the body to swing on a pin, making it ideal for arcing or angular loads where a rigid flat-end mount would bind.
Built with a riveted rolling-packed barrel, the front and back covers are crimped to the tube for a lightweight, low-profile footprint that is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder. The carbon-steel piston rod features a 20 um hard-chrome plating for high wear and corrosion resistance, while a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for extended operational life. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, meaning it cannot support a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch.

Drives a light routing head on a printed circuit board gantry where the 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa cleanly breaks thin copper traces along a 150mm path.
Pivots on its CA clevis to sweep packaged coffee pouches from a continuous belt into a cardboard carton, absorbing angular momentum without binding the rod bearing.
Sorts small plastic medical vials by deflecting them into side lanes on a packaging line, utilizing the 206 N pull force to retract the diverter arm out of the product flow.
If you need less force, step down to the 20mm bore (157 N push @0.5 MPa); if moving heavier tooling, step up to the 32mm bore (402 N push @0.5 MPa). Because this 150mm stroke extends the 10mm rod significantly, the small rod diameter offers low side-load tolerance—use the CA pivot mount to absorb angular stress, or add an external guide to prevent rod-bearing bending. The base MBL relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact; for adjustable air cushioning on heavier moves, choose the MBLC variant. Keep in mind this cylinder will not hold a load if air pressure drops—add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning. Replacement match: 25mm bore, 150mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, no magnet.
Quick checklist
This 25mm bore cylinder 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 operates at a speed of 30-800 mm/s.
This specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, so it has no internal magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. End cushioning is provided by a fixed rubber bumper; if you need an adjustable air cushion to slow down heavier 150mm stroke loads, you must switch to the MBLC variant.
