The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X100CA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm 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 MBLC25X100CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered with an adjustable air cushion at both ends. It delivers 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa via a Ø10 mm carbon-steel rod. The 100 mm stroke suits short-travel positioning tasks, while the screw-tunable pneumatic cushioning decelerates the piston smoothly near each end to cut impact shock on faster cycles.
This CA back-cover variant features a pivot clevis that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. It uses a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel for a compact, lightweight profile rather than a bulky tie-rod body. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

Pivots a yarn guide arm across a 100 mm path; the adjustable cushion prevents end-cover hammering during the loom's rapid 245 N indexing strokes.
Swings a cardboard deflector gate on carton packing lines, using the CA clevis to absorb angular rod stress while cushioning the 206 N retract motion.
Advances a light electronics shuttle by 100 mm; the riveted aluminum body saves space in dense conveyor frames while the cushion softens the stop.
For lower force needs, the Ø20 bore provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø32 bore yields 402 N. Choose this MBLC over the base MBL when your cycle speeds exceed what a fixed rubber bumper can absorb. Because the CA clevis pivots, it handles side loads better than a rigid U flat-end, though a plain cylinder still drifts if air is lost. The direct replacement match is a 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod, PT thread, CA pivot cover, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore cylinder provides 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at both ends traps a small air volume to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke ends. You tune it to match the load and speed, which reduces end-cover impact and vibration. It only decelerates near the ends and is not a locking brake.
