About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X100CA
The AirTAC MBLC40X100CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered with a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. Delivering 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it is built around a robust Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard-chrome plating. The 100 mm stroke is managed by a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal within a riveted rolling-packed barrel, ensuring compact and light operation in tight machinery spaces.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. Because this configuration lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The defining advantage of the MBLC series over the standard MBL is the tunable end-of-stroke deceleration, which protects the end covers from impact when cycling heavier masses at high speeds.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X100CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Folding
Drives a pivoting arm to fold heavy cardboard carton flaps at high cycle rates, where the adjustable cushion prevents end-cover slamming on the 100 mm stroke.
Sorter Diverter Gate
Actuates a swinging diverter on a parcel conveyor, utilizing the CA pivot clevis to handle the angular load while pushing 628 N at 0.5 MPa.
Pallet Strapping Press
Applies downward clamping pressure to secure strapping around heavy pallets, relying on the 20 um hard-chrome rod to resist wear in dusty environments.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X100CA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 40 mm bore when your application requires 628 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa but the 32 mm bore (402 N) is insufficient. If you need substantially more power, stepping up to the 50 mm bore yields 981 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential here if you are moving a heavy load quickly; choose the base MBL only for slow, light-duty moves. Remember that the cushion needle only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends—it is not a brake and will not hold the load if air pressure drops.
This MBLC40X100CA specifies a CA pivot back cover for arcing loads, a standard PT tapered port thread, and no built-in magnet. If your machine control requires rod-position feedback, you must select the -S variant to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. For exact replacement matching, confirm the 100 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and M12x1.25 rod-end thread.
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 MBLC40X100CA FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/4 port and a Ø16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 thread. It generates 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it does not have a built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. You would need the MBLC40X100CAS variant to enable electronic or reed switch position detection.
