The AirTAC AirTAC MBL50X80CA Mini Cylinder | 50mm Bore 80mm Stroke is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 80mm 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 MBL50X80CA is a compact 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 50 mm bore, 80 mm stroke unit ideal for moving heavier components within restricted footprints. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body light but is factory-sealed, meaning it is not designed to be disassembled and rebuilt like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The carbon-steel piston rod is plated with 20 µm of hard chrome, paired with a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for a long service life.

Swings on its CA pivot to push 50kg pallets off a powered roller conveyor at 80mm stroke, absorbing the angular side-load without binding.
Provides 981N of push force at 0.5MPa to knock stamped metal blanks out of a die in a confined mechanical press enclosure.
Drives a mechanical arm at 80mm stroke to fold heavy corrugated cardboard flaps on a packaging line, using the fixed bumper to deaden the impact.
If 981 N of push force is more than your application requires, step down to the 40 mm bore, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For heavier lifting, the 63 mm bore yields 1558 N at 0.5 MPa. This CA clevis mount is optimal for arcing loads, but if your load drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, note that the rubber bumper is not a lock; you will need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold position. For exact drop-in replacement matching, specify: 50 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 50mm bore cylinder provides 981 N push and 881 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374 N, with a theoretical maximum of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
No, this base MBL model uses a fixed rubber bumper at the end of stroke and does not have an adjustable air cushion (for that, look at the MBLC variant). Additionally, because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches.
