The AirTAC AirTAC MBL50X30SCA Mini Cylinder | 50mm Bore 30mm is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 30mm 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 MBL50X30SCA 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 it well-suited for short 30 mm arcing or angular clamping tasks. Unlike an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this compact riveted body prioritizes a small footprint over standardized mounting dimensions.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for compatibility with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor switches to track rod position. It features a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to absorb lateral arc loads. The body uses a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for long service life, while the Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod is protected by 20 μm hard-chrome plating for wear resistance.

Uses the 981 N push force and CA pivot swing to tuck heavy cardboard carton flaps on a rotary packaging line where the cylinder angle shifts during travel.
Leverages the 30 mm stroke and CA clevis to rapidly deflect small totes on a logistics conveyor, allowing the pivot mount to absorb side loads during the arc.
Employs the 881 N pull force to retract a short diverter blade that pushes mixed SKUs off a roller bed in tight distribution center spaces.
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore generates 981 N push and 881 N pull force. If you need less force, step down to the 40 mm bore (628 N push); if you require more, step up to the 63 mm bore (1558 N push). Choose the MBLC variant if your application requires an adjustable air cushion for heavier end-of-stroke impacts, as the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper. For single-acting spring-return needs, look at the MSBL or MTBL series.
This cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is critical. For replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
This 50 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/4 port and a Ø16 mm rod. It generates 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.
No, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts, not an adjustable air cushion. If you need adjustable cushioning for faster speeds or heavier loads, select the MBLC variant instead.
