The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC20X75SCA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 75mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Its compact riveted body suits push, hold and clamp motion in tight machine spaces.
The AirTAC MBLC20X75SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for tight spaces. It delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a 75 mm stroke. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and compact, while the 20 um hard-chrome plating on the carbon-steel rod protects against friction wear.
This model uses a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both stroke ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, cutting end-cover impact and vibration on faster cycles. The built-in magnet (-S) enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. A CA pivot/clevis back cover allows the body to swing on a pin, accommodating arcing loads that would bind a rigid mount.

Drives a small suction cup arm in a PCB assembly station. The 75 mm stroke and 157 N force move lightweight electronics, while the cushion ensures gentle landings to protect fragile components.
Sorts small cardboard cartons on a packaging line. The CA pivot allows the cylinder to swing the diverter arm accurately, absorbing the impact of high-frequency routing moves.
Shifts a yarn guide across a weaving machine. The compact 20 mm barrel fits tight loom spaces, and the cushioning prevents end-of-stroke vibrations from disturbing thread tension.
At 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore yields 157 N push and 132 N pull. If your application requires less force, step down to the 20 mm bore's smaller 16 mm counterpart (confirm from datasheet), or step up to the 25 mm bore for 245 N push. Choose this MBLC cushioned version over the base MBL when your cycle speeds or load mass exceed what a fixed rubber bumper can absorb. The CA pivot mount is ideal for arcing trajectories, but for straight-line pushes over 300 mm, consider an external guide or the MBLD double-rod type to prevent rod bending.
For replacements, match the 20 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, M8x1.25 rod thread, PT port thread, CA pivot back cover, and built-in magnet. Note that a plain MBLC does not hold position when air is lost; the cushion only decelerates near the ends and is not a brake.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 157 N and the pull force is 132 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 220 N and pull is 185 N. The maximum theoretical force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at both ends traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke limits. You tune it to match your load and speed, which reduces end-cover impact and noise. It is not a load lock or brake.
