About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X225-CA
The AirTAC MBL50X225-CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. With a 50mm bore and 225mm stroke, it generates 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The CA pivot back cover allows the body to swing on a pin, making it ideal for arcing or angular load applications where a rigid flat-end mount would bind.
This SKU features a riveted rolling-packed barrel where the covers are crimped to the tube for a lightweight, compact footprint that is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion, and because it lacks the -S suffix, a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor cannot be fitted to this specific unit.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X225-CA Is Used
Divert Gate Actuation
Drives a swinging diverter gate on a packaging conveyor, utilizing the CA pivot back cover to accommodate the angular arc of the mechanism while pushing 981 N.
Press Tool Ejection
Ejects small stamped metal parts from a tight press cavity, where the fixed rubber bumper safely absorbs the 225mm return stroke impact without rebounding the tooling.
Pallet Chain Transfer
Lowers a transfer chain assembly into a roller conveyor lane, fitting neatly between frame members where a larger profile cylinder would cause physical interference.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X225-CA the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down to the 40mm bore yields 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 63mm bore provides 1558 N if your mechanism requires heavier lifting. Because this is a 225mm stroke, the 16mm rod is moderately exposed; for longer unsupported moves, an external guide or switching to an MBLD double-rod cylinder prevents rod-bearing bending under side loads. The base MBL does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or exhausted—the rod will drift—so add an external pilot-operated check valve if position holding is required. This configuration includes a PT port thread, G1/4 port size, and an M14x1.5 rod-end thread.
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 MBL50X225-CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 50mm bore cylinder provides 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N, with a theoretical maximum of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, you cannot fit a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper at the end of the stroke; for adjustable air cushioning to handle heavier moving masses, you would need the MBLC variant.
