The AirTAC Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X200SU is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 200mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Its compact riveted body suits push, hold and clamp motion in tight machine spaces.
The AirTAC MBL25X200SU is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It provides 245 N push and 206 N pull force at 0.5 MPa from a 25 mm bore and 200 mm stroke. The U flat-end back cover provides a rigid fixed rear mounting face. An integrated -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic sensor switches to track rod position for end-of-stroke signaling.
Unlike tie-rod bodies, the MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel with crimped front and back covers, keeping weight low but making the cylinder non-rebuildable. A heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life, while the carbon steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance. End-of-stroke impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.

Uses the 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa to deflect populated PCBs between test lanes on a tight SMT line, where the 200 mm stroke provides full lane-clearing travel.
Actuates a folding blade on a compact packaging machine, relying on the riveted aluminum body's small footprint to fit between side conveyor rails.
Applies 206 N of pull force to seat electronic connectors onto a PCB, using the -S magnet and a DMSG solid-state switch to verify the press cycle completion.
This 25 mm bore yields 245 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 20 mm bore (157 N push); if your load requires more, step up to the 32 mm bore (402 N push). The 200 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm standard limit, but the 10 mm rod has low side-load tolerance at this length. Use an external guide, a CA pivot back cover, or the MBLD double-rod type to prevent bending under offset loads.
The base MBL relies on a fixed rubber bumper, so choose the MBLC variant if you need adjustable air cushioning for heavier moving masses. A plain MBL does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe load holding. Replacement match: 25 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U flat-end back cover, -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore delivers 245 N push and 206 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 343 N, with a maximum theoretical force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The double-acting cylinder operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
No, the base MBL25X200SU uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact, not an adjustable cushion screw. If your application requires adjustable air cushioning for heavier loads or faster speeds, select the MBLC variant.
