About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X300-CA
The AirTAC MBL50X300-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 alongside an 881 N pull force, making this 300 mm stroke variant well-suited for moving heavier jigs or workpieces across longer travel distances. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body extremely light, though it is a sealed assembly not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. Because this model lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The carbon-steel piston rod features a 20 um hard-chrome plating for wear resistance, and the internal heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for a long service life. End-of-stroke impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X300-CA Is Used
Long-Reach Part Transfer
Uses the 981 N push force and 300 mm stroke to shuttle heavy machined metal parts between CNC stations, with the CA clevis absorbing angular misalignment during the arc transfer.
Pallet Push-Off Diverter
Pushes loaded pallets off a main conveyor line, relying on the 881 N pull force to retract the diverter arm fully clear of the belt within a compact footprint.
Vertical Lift Gate Actuation
Raises and lowers a 300 mm access gate on a packaging machine, where the fixed rubber bumper safely softens the stopping impact at both ends of the travel.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X300-CA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50 mm bore when your application requires the 981 N push force at 0.5 MPa over a 300 mm travel. If you need less force, stepping down to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1558 N push for heavier payloads. If your cycle speed demands adjustable end-cushioning to prevent shock, choose the MBLC variant; for single-acting push or pull needs, look at the MSBL or MTBL series.
At 300 mm of stroke, the Ø16 mm rod has a higher risk of bending under side loads; the CA pivot back cover on this unit helps mitigate angular stress, but you should still use an external guide or consider the MBLD double-rod anti-rotation type for strict linear stability. Note that a plain MBL does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the rod will drift. Use an external pilot-operated check valve or rod lock if the load must be held safely without live pressure. This SKU has a G1/4 port, PT thread form, and an M14x1.5 rod-end thread.

- ✓ 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 MBL50X300-CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N. The theoretical maximum force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at a speed of 30-800 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor 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 select the MBLC variant.
