About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X175-CA
The AirTAC MBL25X175-CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers a 0.5 MPa push force of 245 N and a pull force of 206 N across its 175 mm stroke. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel is crimped to the covers, keeping the body light and permanently sealed, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder. This specific SKU uses a CA pivot (clevis) back cover, allowing the cylinder to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads.
Inside, a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life, while the Ø10 mm carbon-steel piston rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance. The base MBL relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this model lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X175-CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Actuates a thread tensioning arm in a compact weaving loom, using the CA pivot to absorb the slight angular arc of the mechanism while applying 245 N of push force.
Package Diverter Arm
Pushes small cardboard cartons on a sorting line where the clevis mount accommodates the swinging trajectory of the diverter paddle over 175 mm of travel.
PCB Component Handler
Moves a light pick-and-place gripper between testing stations, relying on the lightweight riveted aluminum body to minimize moving mass on the overhead gantry.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X175-CA the Right Cylinder?
This 25 mm bore generates 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 20 mm bore (157 N push); if your mechanism requires more power, step up to the 32 mm bore (402 N push). Choose the MBLC variant if your cycle speed demands adjustable air cushioning rather than a fixed rubber bumper, or select the MSBL/MTBL single-acting models if you only need air-driven extension or spring retraction. Keep in mind the plain MBL does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; pair it with an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if gravity or drift is a concern.
At 175 mm of stroke, the unsupported Ø10 mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending. The CA pivot back cover on this unit is essential for managing angular loads, but for heavy off-center masses you should also add an external guide rail or switch to the MBLD double-rod cylinder for anti-rotation. Replacement matching requires a 25 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread form, CA back cover, and 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 MBL25X175-CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245 N and the pull force is 206 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 343 N, with a maximum theoretical force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The double-acting operating speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, meaning it has no internal magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact absorption; for adjustable air cushioning, you must specify the MBLC variant.
