The AirTAC AirTAC MBL50X450CA Mini Cylinder | 50mm Bore 450mm is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 450mm 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 MBL50X450CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It generates 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for moving heavier jigs or workpieces over a 450 mm travel distance. The riveted rolling-packed barrel design permanently crimps the front and rear covers to the tube, yielding a lightweight body that is not designed to be disassembled or rebuilt like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads during the stroke. Because this model lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The Ø16 mm carbon-steel piston rod features 20 um hard-chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance, paired with a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for extended operational life.

Drives a 450 mm diverter arm on a packaging line to redirect heavy pallets, utilizing the 981 N push force and CA pivot to absorb side-load swing.
Pushes raw bar stock into the collet chuck of an automatic lathe, where the long stroke and 881 N pull force manage the retraction cycle.
Raises a loaded material tray 450 mm out of a tight machine cell, requiring the 1374 N push force at 0.7 MPa to overcome gravity and friction.
If you need slightly less force, step down to the 40 mm bore (628 N push @0.5 MPa); if you require more power, step up to the 63 mm bore (1558 N push @0.5 MPa). The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion—choose the MBLC variant if your application needs adjustable end-of-stroke cushioning for heavier moving masses. Note that a plain MBL does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or exhausted; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the 450 mm stroke must hold position vertically.
At 450 mm of travel, the unsupported Ø16 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. You must use an external guide rail to support the load, rely on the CA pivot back cover to absorb angular misalignment, or switch to the MBLD double-rod cylinder to prevent rod binding and premature seal wear. Replacement parts must match the 50 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, G1/4 port size, PT thread form, and CA pivot back cover.
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 is 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch. You must select an MBL50X450SCA model to track rod position electronically.
