The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X300CA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 300mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Its compact riveted body suits push, hold and clamp motion in tight machine spaces.
The AirTAC MBLC25X300CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and a 300mm stroke. It generates 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. This CA variant uses a pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin, accommodating arcing loads rather than rigidly fixing the body. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch.
A defining feature of this model is the screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both stroke ends. Unlike a fixed rubber bumper, tuning the cushion needle decelerates the piston smoothly near the ends, cutting impact shock and vibration on faster moves. The cylinder relies on a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel for a compact, lightweight profile, while the Ø10 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal.

Ideal for swinging a 300mm arm to index pallets between conveyors, using the CA clevis to absorb angular momentum while the air cushion softens the end-of-stroke stop at 245 N push.
Drives a 300mm yarn traversing mechanism in textile machinery, where the adjustable cushion prevents sudden jerks that would snap threads during high-frequency cycling.
Pivots a small parts bin to dump contents into a hopper, with the clevis mount handling the arcing load and the cushion protecting the end covers from the falling mass.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to a 20mm bore drops the output to 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a 32mm bore increases it to 402 N. Choose this MBLC over the base MBL when your cycle speeds or moved mass outclass a fixed rubber bumper. The CA pivot cover is essential here for managing angular motion. Because the stroke is 300mm, the small Ø10 mm rod has low side-load tolerance; use an external guide or a pivot bracket to prevent rod bending. Note that the cushion only decelerates near the ends—it is not a brake and will not hold position if air is lost. Replacement match: 25mm bore, 300mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA back cover, no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 245 N push and 206 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, it provides 343 N push. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU lacks the -S code, so no CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor can be fitted. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to trap exhaust air, decelerating the piston smoothly near the ends to protect the end covers; it is a dampener, not a load lock.
