About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X350-CA
The AirTAC MBL50X350-CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces where a larger profile body will not fit. It uses a 50mm bore and a 350mm stroke to generate 981N of push force and 881N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. This specific SKU features a CA pivot back cover, meaning the rear clevis swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads during the 350mm travel. Because the body is a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel, the front and back covers are crimped to the tube, making the assembly extremely light but not designed to be disassembled and rebuilt like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
Inside, a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life, while the carbon-steel piston rod has a 20um hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. This SKU lacks the -S suffix, so it has no built-in magnet and cannot support a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion screw. If your process drops air pressure or centers the valve, this bumper will not hold the load in place—the rod will drift, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X350-CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Folder
Drives a 350mm pivoting arm to fold heavy cardboard flaps on a packaging line, using the 981N push force to overcome carton resistance while the CA clevis allows the arm to arc naturally.
Textile Guiding Lever
Powers a tensioning lever in a textile machine, where the CA pivot back cover accommodates the angular travel of the guide mechanism across the long 350mm stroke.
Pallet Transfer Pusher
Pushes component bins between roller conveyor sections in tight assembly cells, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the end-of-stroke impact without requiring an external shock absorber.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL50X350-CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 50mm bore model, you can step down to the 40mm bore (628N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter moves, or step up to the 63mm bore (1558N push at 0.5 MPa) if you need significantly more thrust. Choose the MBLC variant if your cycle speed requires an adjustable air cushion to soften heavy end impacts, or the MSBL/MTBL single-acting versions if you only need spring-return push or pull action. The 350mm stroke on this unit pushes the 16mm rod to its unsupported limit; under side loads, mini rods bend easily. You should pair this CA pivot back cover with an SDB bracket to allow angular self-alignment, or use an external guide rail. For strict anti-rotation needs, the MBLD double-rod type prevents rod twist. This SKU uses a G1/4 port with PT tapered threading, an M14x1.5 rod-end, 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 MBL50X350-CA FAQ
This 50mm bore cylinder delivers 981N push and 881N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 200kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion; you must switch to the MBLC variant for adjustable end-cushioning.
