About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X30CA
The AirTAC MBL25X30CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers a 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa and a 30 mm stroke, making it ideal for short, precise linear movements. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body light and compact but 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 on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. The carbon-steel piston rod is hardened with 20 µm chrome plating for wear resistance, while a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life. Because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X30CA Is Used
Textile Yarn Guide
Swings a yarn guide arm into position using the CA pivot clevis to accommodate the curved travel path, relying on the 245 N push force for smooth indexing.
Packaging Flap Folder
Folds small carton flaps in a compact packaging machine where the 30 mm stroke and lightweight aluminum riveted body fit into extremely tight clearances.
PCB Conveyor Diverter
Pivots a small guide gate on an electronics assembly line to route PCB panels, utilizing the CA clevis to absorb side-load during the arc motion.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X30CA the Right Cylinder?
For lower force needs, stepping down to the 20 mm bore yields 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, while heavier lifts require the 32 mm bore providing 402 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your cycle speed creates severe end-of-stroke impact, upgrade to the MBLC variant for an adjustable air cushion instead of this model's fixed rubber bumper. For single-direction spring-return tasks, consider the MSBL or MTBL variants.
This MBL25X30CA includes a PT tapered port thread, a G1/8 port size, a Ø10 mm rod with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and the CA pivot back cover. Remember that a plain MBL does not hold its position or 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 drift must be prevented.
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 MBL25X30CA 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 is 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No. The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact, not an adjustable air cushion (for that, you need the MBLC variant). Additionally, this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic position switches.
