The AirTAC AirTAC MBL50X10SU Mini Cylinder | 50mm Bore 10mm Stroke is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 10mm 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 MBL50X10SU is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. At 0.5 MPa, it generates 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force, making it well-suited for short 10 mm clamping or ejection tasks. 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 U variant features a rigid flat-end back cover for direct mounting.
Because this SKU includes the -S suffix, it has a built-in magnet for non-contact position detection using AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG and EMSG electronic sensor switches. The piston utilizes a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long service life, while the carbon steel rod features 20 um hard-chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.

Provides 981 N of clamping force to secure PCB panels against router cutting vibrations during depaneling.
Executes rapid 10 mm strokes to push lightweight plastic bottles into secondary packaging lanes at high speeds.
Pivots small carton side flaps prior to top tape sealing, fitting within the narrow mechanical clearances of packaging machinery.
If 981 N of push force is excessive for your payload, step down to the 40 mm bore, which yields 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need to move heavier assemblies, the 63 mm bore provides 1558 N. For applications requiring faster cycling with heavier loads, consider the MBLC variant, which replaces the fixed rubber bumper with an adjustable air cushion. Note that a plain MBL does not hold its position if air pressure is lost; a pilot-operated check valve or external rod lock is required for drop prevention. This specific configuration uses a G1/4 port, PT thread form, U flat-end back cover, and a built-in magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 981 N and the pull force is 881 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374 N, with a theoretical maximum of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The double-acting speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
No, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact. If your application requires adjustable end-of-stroke deceleration for heavier moving masses, you should select the MBLC variant instead.
