About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X60SCA
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.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X60SCA Is Used
PCB Depaneling Ejector
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.
Pharmaceutical Carton Diverter
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.
Connector Pin Insertion
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.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 MBLC25X60SCA FAQ
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.
