About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X225SU
The AirTAC MBLC25X225SU is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact spaces requiring tunable end-of-stroke control. A 25 mm bore yields 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa, making this 225 mm stroke well suited for mid-length actuation on small assembly machinery. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor switches for precise rod position detection.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper of the base MBL, this MBLC variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. You tune the needle to smoothly decelerate the load, actively cutting end-cover impact and vibration on faster cycles. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal and 20 µm hard-chrome carbon-steel Ø10 mm rod ensure lasting friction control.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X225SU Is Used
PCB Shuttle Conveying
Moves populated PCB panels along a 225 mm stroke between SMT pick-and-place machines, using the adjustable cushion to stop smoothly without jarring delicate solder joints.
Textile Yarn Guide
Shifts a yarn guide carriage across a weaving loom, relying on the 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa to tension the material while preventing sudden end-of-stroke snaps.
Tray Indexing Pusher
Advances lightweight component trays out of a tight-packaging machine, using the DMSG electronic sensor to confirm retraction before the next cycle begins.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X225SU the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore generates 245 N of push force. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 20 mm bore yields 157 N push. If you need to drive a heavier mass, stepping up to the 32 mm bore provides 402 N push. Choose this MBLC cushioned version over the base MBL when your cycle speeds are high enough that a fixed bumper would cause damaging impact noise.
For replacement matching, verify the G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, PT port thread form, and the U flat-end back cover. Because the 225 mm stroke is relatively long for a small Ø10 mm rod, side-load tolerance is low; use an external guide or pivot mount to prevent rod bending. Note that the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke ends and will not hold the rod in place if air pressure is lost.
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 MBLC25X225SU 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.
A screw-tunable pneumatic needle at both ends traps a small amount of exhaust air to decelerate the piston near the stroke limits. You adjust the needle to match the load and speed, which absorbs shock and protects the end covers. It functions strictly as a decelerator and is not a brake or position lock.
