About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X225CA
The AirTAC MBLC25X225CA is a double-acting, adjustable air cushion mini cylinder built around a compact, riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel. With a 25mm bore and 225mm stroke, it generates 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The CA pivot clevis back cover allows the body to swing on a pin, accommodating arcing or angular loads that a rigid flat-end mount cannot absorb. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot host a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.
This model uses a Ø10 mm carbon-steel piston rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating, sealed by a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal. The screw-tunable pneumatic cushions at both ends decelerate the piston smoothly near stroke extremes, absorbing kinetic energy to protect the end covers on faster cycles. This adjustable damping is ideal for heavier or high-frequency moves where a fixed rubber bumper would wear out quickly, though it functions only as an end-of-stroke decelerator and not as a load-holding brake.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X225CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide Arm
Drives a yarn guide arm across a 225mm path, using the CA clevis to absorb angular misalignment while the air cushion prevents end-cap shock during rapid weaving cycles.
Bottling Line Diverter
Pushes lightweight PET bottles onto a secondary packaging lane, relying on the 245 N push force and tunable cushioning to prevent impact bounce at high speeds.
Palletizer Flap Opener
Swings a cardboard flap guide out of the way on a packaging conveyor, utilizing the pivot pin to accommodate the arc of the moving mechanism.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X225CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25mm bore actuator, step down to the 20mm bore if your load requires less than 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 32mm bore if you need 402 N to handle a heavier mass. The 225mm stroke provides ample travel for mid-range positioning tasks. Since this stroke exceeds 300mm territory in practical application, the relatively small Ø10mm rod has limited side-load tolerance; for long pushes without external guidance, rely on the CA pivot to self-align, or consider an MBLD double-rod cylinder to prevent rod bending. To replace this unit exactly, match the 25mm bore, 225mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and confirm no magnet is required.
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 MBLC25X225CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 25mm bore cylinder provides 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, it delivers 343 N of push force. Its theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends is screw-tuned to restrict exhaust flow, decelerating the piston smoothly near the ends to protect the end covers on fast moves; it is a damping device, not a load lock.
