About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X150-CA
The AirTAC MBL50X150-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 150 mm stroke unit ideal for moving heavier jigs or small platens. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body light and small, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. The carbon-steel piston rod is hardened with 20 um chrome plating for wear resistance, and the heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long operational life. Note that because this model lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X150-CA Is Used
CNC Lathe Door Automation
Uses the 981 N push force to slide heavy machine tool doors open and closed, where the CA pivot absorbs slight misalignment from the carriage tracks.
Package Divert Arm
Swings a diverter arm on a packaging line to route heavy cartons, leveraging the 150 mm stroke and pivot clevis to handle arcing motion smoothly.
Pallet Stacking Pusher
Pushes nested pallets into a stacking cradle, relying on the compact aluminum body to fit within a tight conveyor framework where larger cylinders cannot.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X150-CA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. For heavier demands, the 63 mm bore provides 1558 N push. This base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact; for faster cycling with heavier masses, upgrade to the MBLC variant for its adjustable air cushion. The CA pivot mount is excellent for side-load articulation, but a plain MBL cannot hold a load if air pressure drops—you will need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to prevent drift.
At 150 mm stroke, the Ø16 mm rod is manageable, but longer strokes increase side-load bending risks. If your application requires longer unsupported moves, utilize an external guide rail, rely on the CA pivot to absorb angular stress, or switch to the MBLD double-rod cylinder for anti-rotation stability. This unit features a G1/4 port with PT threads.
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 MBL50X150-CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 981 N push and 881 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 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 MBL50X150-S-CA model if position detection is required.
