About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X60CA
The AirTAC MBLC25X60CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered with a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends. Delivering a push force of 245 N and a pull force of 206 N at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore, 60 mm stroke unit is built for fast cycling where fixed rubber bumpers would fail. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and tight for cramped machine cells, while the 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod resists wear against the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads, and uses standard PT tapered port threading on its G1/8 port. Because this configuration lacks the built-in -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The needle-valve cushion decelerates the piston smoothly near each stroke end to absorb kinetic energy, reducing end-cover impact and vibration on heavier moves without acting as a load lock.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X60CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide Arms
Drives high-frequency guide arms on weaving machinery where the 245 N push force shifts yarn carriers, and the CA clevis absorbs the lateral arc of the mechanism.
Bottle Sorting Diverter
Actuates a 60 mm stroke diverter gate on packaging lines, using the adjustable air cushion to softly stop the gate and prevent glass bottle breakage at high speeds.
PCB Test Socket Press
Applies 206 N of pull force to retract a testing probe head in semiconductor fixtures, relying on the compact riveted barrel to fit dense testing arrays.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X60CA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 25 mm bore when an application requires 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa with a short 60 mm stroke and arcing movement. If you need less force, stepping down to the 20 mm bore yields 157 N of push, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore provides 402 N. Choose this MBLC variant over the base MBL when your cycle speeds push past the limits of a fixed rubber bumper and demand tunable end-of-stroke deceleration. Note that a plain MBLC does not hold position if air is lost or the valve centers; the rod will drift, so an external rod lock is required for strict holding.
For replacement matching, verify the 25 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/8 port with PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and confirm no magnet is present. The Ø10 mm rod offers moderate side-load tolerance, so if your arcing load induces bending moments, ensure the CA clevis pin is perfectly lubricated and aligned.
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 MBLC25X60CA 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, push increases to 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a G1/8 port, a Ø10 mm rod, and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S code, meaning it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. If you require position detection, you must select the MBLC25X60S-CA variant with the magnet added.
