About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X200-CA
The AirTAC MBL50X200-CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces where a larger profile body will not fit. It delivers a robust 981 N push force at 0.5 MPa across its 200 mm stroke, making it ideal for moving heavier jigs or small platens. The riveted rolling-packed barrel permanently crimps the front and rear covers to the tube, yielding a light, space-saving assembly that 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 freely on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads during travel. It uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable cushion (for adjustable cushioning, consider the MBLC variant). Additionally, because this model lacks the -S suffix for a built-in magnet, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X200-CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Control
Drives the pivoting cardboard flap folders on high-speed packaging lines, using the 981 N push force to overcome carton stiffness while the CA pivot absorbs the arc of the linkage.
Sorter Diverter Arm
Powers a swinging diverter arm on a parcel conveyor, where the 200 mm stroke pushes packages cleanly to a secondary lane and the clevis mount manages the angular load.
Pallet Lift Gate
Actuates a light-duty lift mechanism on a pallet handling gate, moving the load through 200 mm of travel with sufficient 881 N pull force to retract the linkage.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X200-CA the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore provides 981 N of push force. If your application requires less force, step down to the 40 mm bore (628 N push) to save space; if you need more power, step up to the 63 mm bore (1558 N push). The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper, so if your moved mass requires deceleration control at the end of this 200 mm stroke, select the MBLC variant for adjustable air cushioning. For single-acting push or pull needs, look at the MSBL or MTBL models.
Because this SKU features the CA pivot back cover, it is specifically designed to swing on an SDB pivot bracket or clevis pin, which is highly recommended for this 200 mm stroke to absorb side-load and prevent rod-bearing bending. Remember that a plain MBL does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position must be maintained without live pressure. Replacement matching requires a 50 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/4 port size, PT thread form, CA back cover, and 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 MBL50X200-CA FAQ
The 50 mm bore generates a push force of 981 N and a pull force of 881 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the base MBL50X200-CA uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end impacts and cannot be adjusted. If your moved mass requires tunable deceleration, choose the MBLC variant which features an adjustable air cushion. Also, this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, so it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch.
