About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X100CA
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.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X100CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide Arm
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.
Packaging Flap Deflector
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.
PCB Shuttle Pusher
Advances a light electronics shuttle by 100 mm; the riveted aluminum body saves space in dense conveyor frames while the cushion softens the stop.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X100CA the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 MBLC25X100CA FAQ
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.
