The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X30SCA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 30mm 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 MBLC25X30SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation. It generates 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The 30 mm stroke is optimal for short, rapid clamping or ejection tasks. Unlike the base MBL, this MBLC variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the end covers on fast moves.
This SKU includes a CA pivot/clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads, preventing rod binding. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and tight for confined machinery. A built-in magnet (-S) enables position detection with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches.

Provides 245 N of push force to plunge a high-speed router bit into assembled printed circuit boards, utilizing the adjustable cushion to soften the 30 mm end-of-stroke impact.
Uses the CA pivot bracket to swing small glass vials into a packaging lane, absorbing angular side-loads while the short 30 mm stroke executes rapid routing.
Applies precise 206 N pull force to extract tested silicon chips from high-frequency test sockets, relying on the -S magnet for DMSG electronic cycle counting.
The 25 mm bore yields 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the 20 mm bore offers 157 N; for higher loads, step up to the 32 mm bore providing 402 N. Choose this MBLC over the fixed-bumper MBL when cycling quickly or moving a heavier mass that needs smooth deceleration. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke ends; it is not a brake. A plain double-acting cylinder will drift if air is lost, so add an external rod lock for fail-safe position holding.
Exact replacement match: 25 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, PT port thread, CA pivot back cover, built-in magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245 N and the pull force is 206 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
The MBLC25X30SCA has a screw-tunable needle at both ends that traps air to decelerate the piston smoothly before it hits the end cover. You tune the needle to match the load and speed, which cuts impact noise and vibration. It only decelerates near the stroke ends and is not a load lock or brake.
