About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X100U
The AirTAC MBLC25X100U is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. It generates 245 N push and 206 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. Unlike the base MBL, this variant uses a screw-adjustable air cushion at both stroke ends. You tune the needle valve to smoothly decelerate the piston, absorbing kinetic energy to protect the end covers on faster or heavier moves.
The U suffix denotes a rigid flat-end back cover for straightforward mounting. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact and light for tight spaces, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains lubrication over a long service life. Note that because this specific SKU lacks the S magnet option, it cannot host a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X100U Is Used
PCB Conveyor Diverter
Snaps small electronic boards between lanes with 245 N push force, using the tunable cushion to prevent harsh snapping at 100 mm stroke ends.
Pick-and-Place Z-Axis
Lifts delicate memory modules vertically, relying on the adjustable air cushion to lower the rod gently without bouncing the components.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds light packaging flaps on a continuous line where the flat-end U cover provides a rigid rear mount and the cushion silences repetitive impacts.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X100U the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the 20 mm bore neighbor provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa; if your payload is heavier, step up to the 32 mm bore for 402 N. Choose this MBLC over the fixed-bumper MBL when your 100 mm travel runs at high speed or frequency and needs tunable end-of-stroke deceleration. The U flat-end cover mounts rigidly, so for arcing loads consider a CA pivot or SDB bracket. This PT-threaded, non-magnet SKU cannot hold position without live air, so fit an external rod lock if drifting is unacceptable.
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 MBLC25X100U FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 245 N push and 206 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, push is 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the built-in S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. You would need the MBLC25X100SU variant for reed or solid-state electronic detection.
