The AirTAC AirTAC MBL50X100SCA Mini Cylinder | 50mm Bore 100mm is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 100mm 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 MBL50X100SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for compact machinery requiring substantial thrust. It delivers 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for 100 mm stroke actuation in confined spaces. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body light and small, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for electronic position sensing and a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads. The carbon-steel piston rod features a 20 um hard-chrome plating for wear resistance, paired with a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for a long service life. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.

Provides 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to eject stamped metal parts from a die, utilizing the CA pivot mount to maintain alignment as the ejection angle shifts.
Swings a diverter arm on a logistics conveyor using its 100 mm stroke and clevis back cover, handling heavy cardboard cartons with 881 N of pull force.
Acts as a robust stop gate for heavy pallets entering a wrapping station, using the built-in magnet to confirm gate position to the PLC.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application requires approximately 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa but lacks space for a standard ISO 15552 profile cylinder. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N of push force; if you need more power, the 63 mm bore provides 1558 N. The CA clevis mount on this unit is ideal for pivoting mechanisms, while the -S magnet enables use with CMSG reed or DMSG and EMSG solid-state sensor switches.
Because the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper, high-speed moves with heavy payloads may require the MBLC variant for adjustable air cushioning. Note that this cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for drop prevention. For exact replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA back cover, and magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm 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 of 30-800 mm/s.
The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact and cannot be adjusted; for adjustable air cushioning, you need the MBLC variant. This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) and works with AirTAC CMSG reed switches and DMSG or EMSG electronic sensors.
