About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL40X150SCA
The AirTAC MBL40X150SCA 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 this 40 mm bore, 150 mm stroke unit ideal for moving heavier small-part loads. The riveted rolling-packed barrel permanently crimps the covers to the tube, yielding a lightweight footprint that is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod body.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches, allowing precise end-of-stroke detection. It is configured with a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. The carbon-steel piston rod features 20 μm hard-chrome plating for high 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 MBL40X150SCA Is Used
Pivot Arm Actuation
Leverages the CA pivot back cover to swing a parts sorting arm through a 150 mm arc, utilizing the 628 N push force to shift heavy metal blanks into machining fixtures.
Package Diverting Gate
Uses the built-in -S magnet with a DMSG electronic sensor to confirm stroke position, driving a diverter gate on a packaging line with reliable 528 N pull force.
Pallet Lift Station
Employs the compact riveted aluminum body to lift small component trays in tight conveyor gaps, handling loads up to 880 N at 0.7 MPa without requiring large profile cylinders.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL40X150SCA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 40 mm bore when you need more power than the 32 mm version (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) but want a smaller footprint than the 50 mm model (981 N push). The CA clevis mount is essential for pivoting applications, but note that the fixed rubber bumper softens end impacts without acting as a lock. If the air supply drops, this cylinder cannot hold a load; you would need an external pilot-operated check valve for position holding. For faster cycling with this bore, consider the MBLC variant which adds an adjustable air cushion. Replacement requires matching the 40 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA back cover, and -S 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 MBL40X150SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 628 N push and 528 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 880 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at a speed of 30-800 mm/s.
No, the base MBL features a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts, not an adjustable air cushion. If your application requires adjustable cushioning for heavier or faster moving loads, you should select the MBLC variant.
