About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X10CA
The AirTAC MBLC25X10CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation. It produces 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The 10 mm stroke is tailored for very short clamping or ejection movements. A defining feature is the screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends, which decelerates the piston smoothly near stroke limits to reduce impact stress on faster cycles.
This SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. The body uses a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel for a lightweight, space-saving profile. The Ø10 carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating, and the heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for lasting friction control. Note that this specific configuration lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot host a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X10CA Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives a short 10 mm blade advance on an automated PCB depaneling router. The 245 N push at 0.5 MPa handles the feed, while the CA pivot absorbs slight frame misalignment during the cut.
Thermoform Tray Ejector
Kicks formed plastic trays out of a molding press. The 10 mm stroke delivers a fast, compact kick, and the adjustable air cushion cushions the rapid retraction to prevent end-cover wear.
Connector Insertion Press
Pushes electronic connectors onto headers during PCB assembly. The short stroke and 206 N pull force provide precise positioning, with the cushion needle tuned for a gentle end-of-stroke stop.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X10CA the Right Cylinder?
Select the 25 mm bore when you need 245 N push at 0.5 MPa for short, rapid movements. If your application requires less force, the 20 mm bore delivers 157 N push, whereas stepping up to the 32 mm bore provides 402 N push for heavier resistance. The adjustable air cushion is the primary reason to choose this MBLC variant over the base MBL; it allows you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the end covers on high-frequency or heavier moves, whereas the fixed rubber bumper of the MBL is better suited for slow, light loads. Keep in mind that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends and does not lock the rod; if you need to hold position without live air, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For replacements, match the 25 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot back 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 MBLC25X10CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245 N and the pull force is 206 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet (no -S suffix), so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. You would need the MBLC25X10S-CA variant for solid-state or reed switch position detection.
