About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X200CA
The AirTAC MBLC25X200CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered with a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. Delivering 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it is tailored for dynamic tasks requiring smooth deceleration near stroke completion. The 200 mm stroke provides ample travel for positioning components, while the riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the assembly lightweight and spatially efficient.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads, a critical advantage over rigid flat-end mounts when the cylinder follows a moving mechanism. It uses a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal paired with a carbon-steel rod hardened with 20 µm chrome plating for wear resistance. Note that because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X200CA Is Used
Textile Loom Let-Off
Regulates yarn tension on a weaving loom, using the 200 mm stroke to maintain fabric feed while the CA pivot absorbs the oscillating angular motion of the loom frame.
Pallet Divert Arm
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging conveyor, leveraging the 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa to nudge boxes while the adjustable cushion prevents end-cap slamming at high cycle rates.
Seed Hopper Gate
Opens and closes a discharge flap on a planting drill, where the double-acting action ensures positive closure of the 200 mm travel despite sticky fertilizer dust.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X200CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25 mm bore actuator, evaluate stepping down to the 20 mm bore (157 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter, lower-resistance moves, or stepping up to the 32 mm bore (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your payload requires greater thrust. Choose the MBLC over the base MBL when your cycle speeds are high or the moved mass is substantial enough that a fixed rubber bumper would cause damaging impact shock. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it is not a brake and will not hold the load if air pressure drops.
For a drop-in replacement, match the 25 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, PT port thread form, and CA pivot back cover. Because the 200 mm stroke is substantial for an Ø10 mm rod, side-load tolerance is low; you must use an external guide rail or ensure the CA clevis can freely pivot to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
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 MBLC25X200CA 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 operating pressure.
The cushion is a screw-tunable needle valve at both ends that traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly before it hits the end cover. You adjust it to match your load and speed, which cuts impact noise and vibration. It is strictly an end-of-stroke deceleration device, not a load lock or holding brake.
