About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL40X200-CA
The AirTAC MBL40X200-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 a 200 mm stroke. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body light and small, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. The carbon-steel piston rod is hardened with 20 µm chrome plating for high wear resistance. Because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL40X200-CA Is Used
Packaging Conveyor Diverter
Ideal for a 200 mm stroke diverter arm on a packaging line, using the 628 N push force to reliably shift heavy cardboard cartons at high speed.
Textile Loom Tensioning
The CA pivot back cover perfectly handles the angular arcing motion needed to maintain fabric tension on a textile loom without binding the rod.
Palletizer Side Guide
Provides robust 528 N pull force to retract side-guide mechanisms on a low-profile palletizer, fitting neatly into tight conveyor base frames.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL40X200-CA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the MBL32 bore provides 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; if your application requires more power, stepping up to the MBL50 yields 981 N. The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact—if your cycle times are fast and carry heavy loads, consider the MBLC variant for its adjustable air cushion.
With a 200 mm stroke, the Ø16 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; always use an external guide or rely on this cylinder's CA pivot mounting to prevent rod-bearing damage. Note that a plain MBL does not hold its position if air pressure is lost—the rubber bumper is not a lock, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if gravity or drift must be prevented. This exact replacement match: 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA back cover, no 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 MBL40X200-CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 628 N push force and 528 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 880 N. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, meaning it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch. You must select an MBL40X200S-CA variant if position detection is required.
