The AirTAC AirTAC MBL50X200SCA Mini Cylinder | 50mm Bore 200mm is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 200mm 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 MBL50X200SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for compact spaces requiring substantial thrust. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it delivers 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force, escalating to 1374 N at 0.7 MPa. The 200 mm stroke handles extended travel for part ejection or gating, while the riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the overall footprint and weight low. Unlike tie-rod bodies, this crimped aluminum tube is not designed to be disassembled in the field.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for non-contact position detection using AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches. The CA pivot back cover allows the cylinder to swing on a pin, making it ideal for arcing or angular loads. To absorb end-of-stroke energy, the base MBL relies on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion screw. The carbon-steel piston rod features a 20 um hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion, paired with a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for a long service life.

Swings a sorting gate on a packaging line using the 200 mm stroke and CA pivot bracket, providing 981 N to redirect heavy cartons without stalling.
Kicks stamped metal parts out of a die area. The built-in magnet (-S) confirms rod extension to the controller before the press cycles again.
Pivots a loading ramp for low-profile pallets. The compact riveted aluminum body fits into tight conveyor frame gaps where larger cylinders cannot.
Selecting this 50 mm bore provides 981 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the 40 mm neighbor offers 628 N; if you need more power, the 63 mm bore provides 1558 N. Because this SKU features the CA pivot back cover, it is specifically chosen for applications involving arcing or angular loads, pairing well with an SDB pivot bracket. The port size is G1/4 with a PT thread form, and the rod end thread is M14x1.5.
With a 200 mm stroke, the Ø16 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. Utilizing the CA pivot helps alleviate this, but an external guide rail or switching to an MBLD double-rod cylinder is recommended for strict anti-rotation needs. Note that a plain MBL does not hold its position if air pressure is lost; the fixed rubber bumper softens impact but acts as neither a lock nor a brake. For heavier moving loads requiring end-of-stroke deceleration tuning, step up to the MBLC variant with adjustable air cushioning.
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 increases to 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
No, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact and does not have an adjustable cushion screw. If your application involves heavy moving loads at high speeds requiring deceleration tuning, you should use the MBLC variant which features adjustable air cushioning.
