The AirTAC AirTAC MBL50X200U 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 MBL50X200U is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for compact spaces requiring substantial linear force. Delivering a push force of 981 N and pull force of 881 N at 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore unit utilizes a 200 mm stroke to drive heavier mechanisms without occupying the footprint of a standard profile body. The U suffix designates a rigid flat-end rear cover for direct fixed mounting.
This SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. Impact deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. The riveted rolling-packed barrel permanently crimps the covers to the tube for a lightweight, sealed assembly, while the Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. A heterogeneous two-way piston seal continuously retains grease for extended operational life.

Actuates a routing flap on a high-speed packaging conveyor, using the 200 mm stroke to shift cartons between lanes with 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Opens and closes the heavy sliding safety door of a CNC lathe, where the compact 50 mm aluminum body fits within the tight machine guarding clearance.
Deploys a mechanical stop to arrest incoming pallets on a roller conveyor, relying on 881 N of pull force to retract the gate and allow pallet passage.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application demands roughly 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa but lacks the physical envelope for an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 40 mm bore drops the push force to 628 N while saving space; conversely, upgrading to the 63 mm bore yields 1558 N for heavier payloads. Because this base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper, high-speed or heavy-mass moves should specify the MBLC variant for adjustable air cushioning.
With a 200 mm stroke, the unsupported Ø16 mm piston rod is susceptible to bending under side loads—always guide the load externally or pivot the rear with an SDB bracket. Note that the fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts but does not lock the rod; if air pressure drops, the cylinder cannot hold its position and will drift. To replace this unit exactly, match the 50 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread form, U flat-end back cover, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N, with a theoretical maximum of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
No. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration; for adjustable air cushioning, you must specify the MBLC variant.
