About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL40X300-CA
The AirTAC MBL40X300-CA is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for compact spaces requiring a 300 mm stroke. It delivers a robust 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for moving heavier jigs or workpieces over longer travel distances. 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 SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads during extension. The carbon-steel piston rod is hardened with 20 um chrome plating for wear resistance. Note that 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 MBL40X300-CA Is Used
CNC Lathe Bar Feeder
Pushes raw bar stock through a spindle guide tube over a 300 mm travel, utilizing the 628 N push force and CA clevis to self-align during the feed cycle.
Sorting Diverter Arm
Actuates a pivoting routing gate on a packaging conveyor, where the clevis mount absorbs side-shock and the long stroke clears large parcel cartons.
Pallet Wrapper Roll Carriage
Lifts a stretch film roll assembly up a vertical mast, relying on the 40 mm bore's 528 N pull force to lower the carriage smoothly.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL40X300-CA the Right Cylinder?
This 40 mm bore provides 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, step down to the 32 mm bore (402 N push); for heavier lifting, step up to the 50 mm bore (981 N push). The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact, so for faster cycling or heavier moving masses, consider the MBLC variant which offers adjustable air cushioning.
With a 300 mm stroke, the Ø16 mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending. The CA pivot back cover on this unit helps safely manage angular loads by allowing the cylinder body to swing. For rigid linear guidance over this long travel, pair the cylinder with external linear guides or consider the MBLD double-rod anti-rotation type. Remember that this cylinder will not hold its load if air pressure is lost; use an external pilot-operated check valve for drop prevention.
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 MBL40X300-CA FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder provides 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" port, a Ø16 mm piston rod, and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread.
No, because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact absorption, not an adjustable cushion; you would need the MBLC variant for adjustable air cushioning.
