The AirTAC AirTAC MBL50X15SCA Mini Cylinder | 50mm Bore 15mm is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 15mm 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 MBL50X15SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers a robust 981 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making this 15 mm stroke variant ideal for high-impact short clamping or ejection tasks. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body light and compact, but unlike a tie-rod profile cylinder, it is not designed to be disassembled and rebuilt.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads during motion. The built-in magnet (-S) enables position detection via AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG and EMSG solid-state sensor switches. A heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease internally, while the Ø16 mm carbon steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear resistance.

Swings a diverter arm on a packaging line using the CA pivot cover to arc the 981 N push force cleanly across a 15 mm stroke.
Ejects small stamped metal parts from a tight die cavity where the 15 mm stroke and fixed rubber bumper absorb the end-of-stroke impact.
Pivots a stop block to halt pallets on a conveyor, relying on the DMSG solid-state sensor to confirm the 15 mm retraction.
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore generates 981 N push and 881 N pull. If your application requires less force, the 40 mm bore offers 628 N push, stepping down neatly. If you need more power, the 63 mm bore provides 1558 N push. The standard MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact; for adjustable air cushioning to handle heavier moving masses, select the MBLC variant. Because the MBL lacks a physical lock, the rod will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be held safely in place.
This model has a PT tapered port, a G1/4 port size, and an M14x1.5 rod-end thread. With its short 15 mm stroke and CA clevis mount, it is optimized for pivotal short-throw operations. For rigid fixed mounting, the U flat-end back cover is preferable.
Quick checklist
The 50 mm bore provides 981 N push and 881 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force 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-stop impact. It does not have an adjustable cushion screw. If your short-stroke application requires adjustable air cushioning, you must use the MBLC variant.
