About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X150SU
The AirTAC MBLC25X150SU is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact setups needing precise end-of-stroke control. It pushes with 245 N and pulls with 206 N at 0.5 MPa, making this 150 mm stroke variant well-suited for intermediate travel distances. Unlike the base MBL, this MBLC model features a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. You tune the needle to smoothly decelerate the piston, reducing end-cover impact and vibration on faster moves.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches, enabling accurate rod-position detection. The U suffix denotes a rigid flat-end back cover for straightforward mounting. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light, while the Ø10 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear. A heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains consistent lubrication over the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X150SU Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Drives a linear cutting head across 150 mm to singulate circuit boards, using the adjustable cushion to stop smoothly without jarring fragile solder joints.
Connector Insertion Press
Pushes rectangular connectors into sockets with 245 N of force at 0.5 MPa, relying on the DMSG sensor signal to verify proper seating depth.
Carton Flap Folder
Actuates a folding arm on a packaging line, where the tunable end-cushioning prevents abrupt slams that could crush lightweight cardboard.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X150SU the Right Cylinder?
Select this 25 mm bore when an application demands roughly 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa over a 150 mm travel. If your move is lighter, stepping down to the 20 mm bore yields 157 N of push force. For heavier loads, stepping up to the 32 mm bore provides 402 N. Choose this MBLC over the standard MBL when cycle speeds are high enough that a fixed rubber bumper would wear prematurely or cause excessive shock.
The adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston near the stroke ends but does not lock the rod; if position holding is required without live air pressure, install an external rod lock. This configuration uses a G1/8 port, PT thread form, U flat-end back cover, and an integrated magnet. Because the stroke is 150 mm, side-load tolerance on the Ø10 mm rod is moderate; ensure proper alignment to avoid rod bending, or consider a pivot bracket for arcing loads.

- ✓ 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 MBLC25X150SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore cylinder outputs 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 343 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The MBLC25X150SU features a screw-tunable needle valve at both ends that traps a pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the piston before it hits the end cover. You adjust it to match the load and speed, reducing impact noise and wear. It functions only as an end-of-stroke damper, not as a braking or load-holding lock.
