The AirTAC AirTAC MBL40X80CA Mini Cylinder | 40mm Bore 80mm is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 80mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Its compact riveted body suits push, hold and clamp motion in tight machine spaces.
The AirTAC MBL40X80CA is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It generates 628 N push and 528 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, making this 80 mm stroke variant well-suited for medium-duty component routing and actuation. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the covers directly to the tube, yielding a lightweight footprint that is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod body.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. The carbon-steel piston rod is hardened with 20 μm chrome plating for wear resistance, and the heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life. Because this model lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion screw.

Leverages the 628 N push force and CA pivot back cover to smoothly swing yarn guide arms across winding drums during automated loom operations.
Uses the 80 mm stroke to pivot a sorting flap on a packaging conveyor, redirecting cartons into secondary lanes without stalling.
Provides reliable 528 N pull force to retract a reject arm on a bottling line, knocking misaligned containers off the conveyor flow.
If your application requires less force, step down to the 32 mm bore (402 N push @0.5 MPa); if you need heavier thrust, step up to the 50 mm bore (981 N push @0.5 MPa). For faster cycle speeds carrying heavier moving masses, consider the MBLC variant which adds an adjustable air cushion. The base MBL40X80CA uses a G1/4 port with PT thread, a Ø16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 rod-end thread, and the CA pivot mount.
Note that a plain MBL does not hold its position or load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centred—the rod will drift or drop. The fixed rubber bumper only softens end-of-stroke impact and is not a lock or brake. If a load must be held without live pressure, specify an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 628 N push and 528 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 880 N. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, so it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact absorption; for an adjustable air cushion, you must specify the MBLC variant.
