About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X100-CA
The AirTAC MBL50X100-CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers a robust 981 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making this 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke variant ideal for moving heavier small-part loads. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body light and sealed permanently, meaning it is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod unit.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover, allowing the cylinder to swing on a pin to absorb arcing or angular loads during motion. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this model lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch. 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 MBL50X100-CA Is Used
Pallet Diverter Gate
Swings a diverter arm on a packaging line conveyor using its 981 N push force, with the CA pivot back cover absorbing the angular load as the arm arcs.
Press Die Ejection
Pushes small stamped metal parts out of a tight progressive die cavity, where the compact riveted aluminum body fits into restricted press tooling.
Bin Lid Actuation
Opens and closes heavy bulk-material bin lids, relying on the 881 N pull force to firmly retract the lid against gravity in a confined plant footprint.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X100-CA the Right Cylinder?
If you need to step down in force, the 40 mm bore neighbour provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1558 N. The 100 mm stroke is well within standard limits, but because the 50 mm bore uses a Ø16 mm rod, you must manage side-load tolerance carefully on longer moves. The CA pivot back cover on this unit helps accommodate minor misalignment, but for rigid anti-rotation needs, consider the MBLD double-rod type. Remember that a plain MBL does not hold its position if air pressure is lost—the rod drifts, as the rubber bumper is not a locking brake. For exact replacement matching, verify the 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA back cover, and absence of a 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 MBL50X100-CA FAQ
This 50 mm bore cylinder uses a Ø16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 rod-end thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 981 N push and 881 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N. The theoretical maximum force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
You cannot add a sensor to this SKU because it lacks the -S magnet suffix required for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts; if you need adjustable air cushioning for heavier loads, you must upgrade to the MBLC variant.
