The AirTAC AirTAC MBL50X10U 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 MBL50X10U is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. With a 50mm bore and 10mm stroke, it generates 981N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for short, high-impact moves. The U suffix designates a rigid flat-end back cover for fixed rear mounting. This base MBL body uses a riveted rolling-packed barrel, keeping the footprint light and compact, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder.
Inside, a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life, while the Ø16mm carbon-steel piston rod features 20μm hard-chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, which softens impact but does not hold the load if air pressure is lost.

Short 10mm stroke delivers 981N push to eject small plastic parts from tight mold cavities where standard cylinders cannot fit.
Provides rapid, rigid clamping force for sealing carton flaps, utilizing the fixed U flat-end rear cover for stable mounting.
Applies precise 881N pull force to press electronic test probes onto circuit boards without damaging the components.
For slightly less force, step down to the 40mm bore (628N push @0.5 MPa); for heavier moves, step up to the 63mm bore (1558N push @0.5 MPa). If your application requires adjustable end-position cushioning for faster cycling, choose the MBLC variant. Since this is a 10mm stroke, side-load stress on the rod bearing is minimal. However, the MBL50X10U does not hold position when air is exhausted—the rod drifts. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be held. Replacement match: 50mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, U flat-end back cover, no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 981N and pulls with 881N. At 0.7 MPa push increases to 1374N, with a theoretical max of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
No. This SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors cannot be fitted. It uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact absorption; for adjustable air cushioning, select the MBLC variant.
