About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X100SCA
The AirTAC MBLC25X100SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 25 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. It generates 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. A screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both stroke ends decelerates the piston smoothly, cutting end-cover impact and noise on faster or heavier moves. This is not a load lock or brake; it only tunes end-of-stroke deceleration.
The CA pivot back cover swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads, while the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensor switches for rod position detection. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact and light for tight spaces. A heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal and a 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod ensure reliable service.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X100SCA Is Used
Pivot Arm Actuation
Leverages the CA clevis back cover to swing a pick-and-place arm, smoothly cushioning the 100 mm stroke at both ends to protect pivot pins during rapid part transfer.
Package Diverting Gate
Uses the 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa to deflect small cartons on a packaging line, relying on the adjustable air cushion to silently absorb the kinetic energy of fast strokes.
PCB Test Fixture
Moves a testing probe 100 mm with precision, using the -S magnet and DMSG electronic sensor to confirm extension before applying pressure to delicate circuit boards.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X100SCA the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 25 mm bore when you need 245 N push at 0.5 MPa with arcing motion. If your application requires less force, step down to the 20 mm bore (157 N push); if you need more power, step up to the 32 mm bore (402 N push). Select the MBLC over the base MBL when cycle speeds are high or the moved mass is heavy enough that a fixed rubber bumper would wear out too quickly.
This SKU is configured with a PT tapered port thread, a CA pivot clevis back cover, and a built-in magnet for CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (electronic) switches. Note that a plain MBLC does not hold position when air is lost or the valve centers; use an external rod lock for pilot-operated check for strict holding requirements.
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 MBLC25X100SCA FAQ
This 25 mm bore cylinder delivers 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/8 port with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread.
The cushion needle is screw-tunable to decelerate the piston near the stroke ends, reducing impact on fast or heavy moves. The built-in -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensor switches to detect rod position. The cushion only decelerates; it does not lock the rod.
