About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL40X100-CA
The AirTAC MBL40X100-CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers a robust 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for mid-range actuation over its 100 mm stroke. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the front and rear covers directly to the tube, yielding a lightweight footprint that is not designed to be disassembled or rebuilt like a traditional tie-rod body.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing and angular loads. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The carbon-steel piston rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear resistance, paired with a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for a long service life.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL40X100-CA Is Used
Packaging Diverter Arm
Swings a lightweight routing gate on a packaging conveyor using its 100 mm stroke and 628 N thrust, with the CA clevis absorbing the angular pivot forces during high-speed sorting.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Cycles a yarn tensioning guide in a textile machine, where the compact riveted barrel fits into narrow frame gaps and the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the rapid end-of-stroke impact.
Bottle Feed Escapement
Indexes empty bottles into a filling station using 528 N of pull force, relying on the G1/4 port for rapid air evacuation during fast 30-800 mm/s cycling.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL40X100-CA the Right Cylinder?
This 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 32 mm bore yields 402 N; if you need more power, the 50 mm bore provides 981 N. Choose the MBLC variant if your cycle speed demands adjustable air cushioning, or the MSBL/MTBL single-acting types for simple push/pull tasks. The fixed rubber bumper softens impact but does not lock the rod—this cylinder will drift or drop if air pressure is lost, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you must hold a load safely.
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 MBL40X100-CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 628 N push and 528 N pull. At 0.7 MPa the push force reaches 880 N, with a theoretical maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. It uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping; for adjustable air cushioning, you must step up to the MBLC variant.
