About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X15CA
The AirTAC MBL25X15CA is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. With a 25mm bore and 15mm stroke, it generates 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The short 15mm travel makes it ideal for small, high-cycle clamping or ejecting tasks. The body uses a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel, crimping the front and rear covers directly to the tube for a lightweight, compact footprint that is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing freely on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. Because this configuration lacks the -S suffix for a built-in magnet, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch. The piston utilizes a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long service life, while the Ø10 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X15CA Is Used
Packaging Sealing Jaw
Drives the short 15mm clamping motion on a vertical form-fill-seal packaging jaw, where the CA pivot absorbs slight angular misalignment as the mechanism cycles.
Electronic Component Ejector
Kicks small PCBs or resistors off a high-speed conveyor belt using 245 N of push force, fitting into the tight 25mm bore footprint between belt rollers.
Sorter Diverter Gate
Actuates a small pivot gate on a parcel sorting line, leveraging the short stroke and clevis mount to rapidly redirect lightweight packages.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X15CA the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 25mm bore provides 245 N push and 206 N pull force. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 157 N push / 132 N pull. If you need more power, the 32mm bore offers 402 N push / 346 N pull. The base MBL relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact; if your machine runs faster or moves heavier masses, upgrade to the MBLC variant for an adjustable air cushion. Note that this standard MBL does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the rod will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if gravity or load must be held without live pressure. Replacement match: 25mm bore, 15mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, no magnet.
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 MBL25X15CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 343 N push at 0.7 MPa. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa, runs at speeds of 30-800 mm/s, and uses a G1/8 port.
No, this specific MBL25X15CA SKU does not have the -S suffix, meaning it lacks a built-in magnet and cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch. If you need position feedback, select the MBL25X15SCA variant instead.
