The AirTAC AirTAC MBL50X150U Mini Cylinder | 50mm Bore 150mm Stroke is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 150mm 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 MBL50X150U is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered to deliver 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Featuring a 50 mm bore and 150 mm stroke, it is built for tight machinery spaces where a larger profile cylinder will not fit. This SKU includes a U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting and uses a default PT tapered port thread.
Unlike tie-rod bodies that can be unbolted and rebuilt, this actuator uses a riveted rolling-packed barrel crimped at the factory for a lightweight, compact profile. Inside, a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life, while the carbon-steel piston rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion. Because this specific code lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Provides 981 N of push at 0.5 MPa to nudge heavy wooden pallets onto branching conveyor lanes within compact packaging line frames.
Uses the 150 mm stroke to tuck large corrugated carton flaps prior to tape sealing, fitting easily between narrow side-belts.
Kicks folded sheet metal brackets out of a press brake die using 881 N of pull force, relying on the rigid U flat-end cover to absorb rear impact.
At 0.5 MPa this 50 mm bore generates 981 N of thrust; if your assembly needs less force, step down to the 40 mm bore which provides 628 N. If you require heavier shifting, the 63 mm bore offers 1558 N. The fixed rubber bumper softens end impacts but cannot be tuned—choose the MBLC variant if your 150 mm stroke demands adjustable air cushioning for heavier moving masses.
A 150 mm stroke on an Ø16 mm rod requires careful mounting to avoid rod-bearing bending under side loads. Use an external guide rail or pair this cylinder with an FA flange or LB foot mount to keep the rod aligned. Note that a standard MBL does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or exhausted; the rod will drift. Install an external pilot-operated check valve if position holding is required. Replacement parts must match the 50 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/4 port size, PT thread, and U flat-end cover.
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 reaches 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, meaning it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. You must select an MBL50X150S variant to enable reed or electronic solid-state position detection.
