About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X175CA
The AirTAC MBLC25X175CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation with tunable end-of-stroke control. It delivers 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for mid-range 175 mm travel tasks. Unlike the base MBL, this variant uses a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, cutting end-cover impact and vibration on faster or heavier moves.
This SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads, paired with a Ø10 mm carbon-steel rod plated with 20 µm hard chrome for wear resistance. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and tight for space-constrained machines. Note that this specific configuration lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X175CA Is Used
Textile Loom Tensioning
Uses the 245 N push force and CA pivot to maintain tension on textile threads during high-speed weaving, absorbing rod angularity while the cushion prevents sudden end-of-stroke jerks.
Packaging Flap Diverter
Pivots a diverter arm across a 175 mm stroke on a packaging conveyor, where the adjustable air cushion ensures soft contact to avoid crushing cardboard cartons.
PCB Component Pusher
Ejects delicate printed circuit boards from a test fixture, relying on the tunable pneumatic cushion to decelerate the 10 mm rod gently before impact.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X175CA the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore generates 245 N push and 206 N pull. If your application requires less force, step down to the 20 mm bore (157 N push), or step up to the 32 mm bore (402 N push) for heavier payloads. Choose this MBLC cushioned model over the fixed-bumper MBL when your cycle rates are high or speeds reach the upper end of the 30-800 mm/s range. Because the 175 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm is not the case here, standard side-load guidance is still recommended for the 10 mm rod, but a CA pivot naturally helps absorb minor angular misalignment.
For replacements, match these exact specs: 25 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT tapered thread, CA pivot back cover, and no magnet (non-S). Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder does not hold position if air pressure drops—the cushion only decelerates near the ends and acts as no brake.
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 MBLC25X175CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 245 N push and 206 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
No. This specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet (no -S suffix), so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. You must select an MBLC25X175S variant with the magnet to track rod position.
