About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC20X150CA
The AirTAC MBLC20X150CA is a compact double-acting mini cylinder engineered with a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it uses a 150 mm stroke to drive lighter payloads. The integrated CA pivot clevis allows the body to swing on a pin, accommodating arcing or angular movements without binding. This model features a PT tapered port thread and lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.
Unlike the base MBL series which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this MBLC variant lets you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to match your load and speed. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the envelope small and light, while the Ø8 mm carbon-steel rod features a 20 µm hard-chrome plating paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for prolonged friction-free operation.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC20X150CA Is Used
Textile Loom Weft Guide
Swings a lightweight thread guide through a 150 mm arc using the CA pivot mount, relying on the adjustable air cushion to prevent sudden jerks that would snap delicate yarn at high cycling speeds.
Packaging Flap Deflector
Pushes cardboard carton flaps clear on a compact packaging line, where the 157 N force is sufficient and the tuned cushioning ensures quiet stops during continuous rapid cycling.
PCB Shuttle Diverter
Pivots a small routing gate to direct printed circuit boards down tight conveyor lanes, utilizing the compact riveted aluminum barrel to fit within dense electronics assembly machinery.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC20X150CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 20 mm bore when an application demands 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 150 mm of travel. If you need less force, step down to the 20 mm bore's smaller alternative is unavailable as it is the minimum size, but stepping up to a 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa for heavier loads. Select the MBLC over the standard MBL when your cycle speeds exceed what a fixed rubber bumper can absorb. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch for rod position detection. For exact drop-in replacement matching, verify the 20 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and non-magnet configuration.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (LB / FA / SDB) and back cover (CA pivot / U flat-end).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC20X150CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore cylinder provides 157 N of push force and 132 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 220 N and pull to 185 N. The maximum theoretical force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/8 port, an Ø8 mm rod, and operates at speeds between 30-800 mm/s.
The MBLC20X150CA features a screw-adjustable air cushion at both ends. You tune the needle valve to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke ends, reducing impact and noise on faster moves; it is a dampener, not a load lock or brake. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed position sensors.
