About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X150CA
The AirTAC MBLC40X150CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring 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 150 mm stroke suits intermediate transfer distances, while the riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the frame exceptionally light for tight machine layouts.
This specific SKU utilizes a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to absorb arcing and angular loads, contrasting with rigid flat-end mounts. Because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The adjustable cushioning allows you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a needle valve, smoothly braking heavier payloads to prevent end-cover impact without acting as a mechanical lock.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X150CA Is Used
Rotary Indexer Loading
Lifts aluminum die-cast parts onto a rotary dial table, using the CA clevis to accommodate the slight angular swing as the 628 N push force seats the component.
Pallet Divert Arm
Actuates a sweeping guide arm to redirect small product cartons between parallel conveyors, relying on the tunable cushion to brake the 150 mm stroke smoothly.
Textile Bobbin Ejector
Pushes wound textile bobbins out of a winding cradle, where the adjustable end-of-stroke deceleration prevents the lightweight spools from bouncing upon ejection.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X150CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore actuator, step down to the 32 mm version if your load requires only 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 50 mm bore if you need greater thrust pushing 981 N at 0.5 MPa. Select the MBLC over the standard MBL when your application cycles rapidly or moves a heavier mass that would overwhelm a fixed rubber bumper. The adjustable air cushion strictly decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it does not hold position if air pressure drops. For secure load holding without live air, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This SKU features a G1/4 port, PT thread form, and a CA pivot cover.
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 MBLC40X150CA FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/4 port and a Ø16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 628 N push and 528 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it yields 880 N push and 739 N pull, with 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 support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. You would need the MBLC40X150CAS variant to enable electronic or reed switch position detection.
