The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X60SCA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm 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 MBLC25X60SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation where end-of-stroke impact must be controlled. It generates 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The 60 mm stroke provides a short, snappy motion suitable for tight indexing or ejection tasks. Unlike the base MBL which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this MBLC variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends, allowing you to dial in the deceleration needle to match your load and speed.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads, preventing rod binding. It also carries the -S designation for a built-in magnet, enabling position detection with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and compact, while the Ø10 mm carbon-steel rod features a 20 µm hard-chrome plating paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for low-friction longevity.

Uses the 60 mm stroke to push singulated circuit boards out of a routing fixture. The adjustable cushion decelerates the 245 N push at the end of the stroke to prevent the lightweight panel from cracking or launching.
Employs the CA pivot mount to swing a deflector gate into a packaging line. The pivot absorbs the angular load while the -S magnet confirms gate position via a DMSG electronic sensor for machine logic.
Presses delicate electronic pins into housings. The 25 mm bore provides just enough force without overstressing the part, while the cushion needle is tuned to soften the landing at the 60 mm stroke end.
Select this 25 mm bore when an application demands 245 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa but lacks the physical envelope for a larger 32 mm body (which offers 402 N). If your move is very light and slow, stepping down to the 20 mm bore (157 N push) might suffice and save space; however, the 25 mm bore here is justified when cycling faster or moving enough mass to require the adjustable air cushion over a standard fixed bumper. The cushion smoothly decelerates the piston near the stroke ends but is not a load lock—the rod will drift if air is lost or the valve centers.
As a direct replacement, match these exact parameters: 25 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread form, CA pivot back cover, and the -S magnet. Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load risk is moderate, but the CA clevis is specifically beneficial if your mounting geometry imposes angular rod movement, absorbing misalignment that would otherwise wear the internal seals.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force. If operating at 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 343 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The MBLC has a screw-tunable needle at both ends that traps a pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the piston before it hits the end cover. You adjust it to match your load and speed, which cuts impact noise and vibration on faster cycles. It only decelerates near the ends and does not lock or hold the rod in place.
