About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X50-CA
The AirTAC MBL25X50-CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers a push force of 245 N and a pull force of 206 N at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for short 50mm linear moves in small part handling. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the covers directly to the tube, yielding a lightweight body that is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to absorb angular or arcing loads during extension. Because it lacks the -S suffix, this model cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper at the end of stroke to soften impact, rather than an adjustable air cushion found on the MBLC variant.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X50-CA Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Handles the 245 N push required to plunge and guide a small routing bit through printed circuit boards, with the CA clevis absorbing slight angular deflections during the cut cycle.
Packaging Flap Folder
Provides 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa to retract carton folding arms in continuous packaging lines, fitting into the narrow mechanical gaps between conveyor rollers.
Small Parts Sorter Gate
Uses the 50mm stroke to deflect lightweight plastic components down a chute, where the pivot mount accommodates slight misalignment as the gate opens and closes.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X50-CA the Right Cylinder?
If you need slightly less force, the neighbouring 20mm bore provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa; for heavier lifting, step up to the 32mm bore which yields 402 N. The CA pivot mount is ideal here for arcing loads, but note that a plain MBL does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the rod will drift. Use an external pilot-operated check valve or rod lock if position holding is critical. Replacement requires matching the 25mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CA clevis back cover.
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 MBL25X50-CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 25mm bore cylinder provides 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this base MBL model uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact and cannot be adjusted (choose the MBLC variant for adjustable air cushion). Additionally, because it lacks the -S magnet suffix, you cannot mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches for position detection.
