The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X100SCA 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 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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
