About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X15CA
The AirTAC MBLC25X15CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for short-stroke arcing motion. It generates 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for quick, light-load pivoting mechanisms. The 15 mm stroke provides rapid extension and retraction within extremely tight spatial envelopes. A defining feature of this MBLC variant is the screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both stroke ends, which decelerates the piston smoothly to minimize impact noise and end-cover wear on high-frequency cycles.
This SKU includes a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate angular, non-linear loads, contrasting with the rigid flat-end U cover. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and compact rather than relying on heavy rebuildable tie-rods. Because this specific configuration lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch. Additionally, the Ø10 mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures reliable low-friction operation.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X15CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Folding
Drives a short 15 mm pivot arm to tuck cardboard flaps on high-speed packaging lines, utilizing the CA clevis to handle the arcing motion while the air cushion silences end impacts.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Executes rapid 15 mm strikes to nudge lightweight packages at sorting hubs, where the 245 N push force easily overcomes friction and the compact barrel fits within the conveyor frame.
PCB Component Clamping
Applies soft, cushioned clamping pressure against delicate circuit boards during wave soldering, relying on the tunable end-deceleration to prevent harsh mechanical snags.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X15CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 25 mm bore when your application requires 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa but you need a shorter 15 mm stroke than the 10 mm option. If you need to step down in force, the 20 mm bore offers 157 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need to step up for heavier loads, the 32 mm bore provides 402 N push at 0.5 MPa. Select the MBLC over the base MBL when your pivot mechanism cycles rapidly and the fixed rubber bumper of the standard model cannot adequately absorb the end-of-stroke kinetic energy. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it is not a mechanical lock, so the rod will drift if air is lost or the valve centers. For direct replacement, match the 25 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, PT port thread, CA pivot back cover, and non-magnet configuration.
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 MBLC25X15CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore cylinder provides 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. Because the model code lacks the -S suffix, this specific unit does not have a built-in magnet and cannot accept AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches for rod position detection.
