About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X200CA
The AirTAC MBLC40X200CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for demanding actuation. It generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for 200 mm stroke tasks requiring substantial mid-range power. Unlike the base MBL, this variant utilizes a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly near stroke completion, effectively minimizing end-cover impact and vibration during rapid cycling.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads, preventing rod binding. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and compact for tight machine spaces, while the Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod features a 20 µm hard-chrome plating paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for extended operational life. Note that this configuration omits the built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing without physical modification.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X200CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Folding
Drives a 200 mm articulating arm to fold heavy corrugated carton flaps at high speed, relying on the adjustable air cushion to prevent jarring stops that would misalign the box seam.
Pallet Diverter Gate
Actuates a routing gate on a conveyor line, utilizing the CA pivot clevis to accommodate the swing arc while providing 628 N of force to push loaded pallets onto a secondary track.
PCB Test Fixture
Lowers a heavy testing probe head onto circuit boards, using the tunable end-of-stroke deceleration to prevent impact damage to delicate solder joints during rapid automated cycling.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X200CA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 40 mm bore when your application demands 628 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa but the 343 N push of the 32 mm variant is insufficient. If you need even greater power, stepping up to the 50 mm bore provides 981 N at the same pressure. The PT tapered port thread and G1/4 port size are fixed by the 40 mm bore design. Choose this MBLC version over the standard MBL when operating at high speeds or moving heavier masses that would overwhelm a fixed rubber bumper.
Because this unit lacks the -S magnet, you cannot mount reed or solid-state sensor switches for end-of-stroke confirmation; if automation logic requires position feedback, select an MBLC40X200CAS equivalent instead. The 200 mm stroke is substantial for a mini cylinder; at this length, the Ø16 mm rod has a lower tolerance for side-loading. Rely on the CA pivot clevis to absorb angular misalignment, or utilize an external guide rail to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
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 MBLC40X200CA FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/4 port with PT tapered threading. At 0.5 MPa it provides 628 N push and 528 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, output increases to 880 N push and 739 N pull. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at both end covers bleeds trapped air to smoothly decelerate the piston near stroke ends, which is critical for protecting the cylinder when moving heavy loads at high speeds. This specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot accommodate CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switches.
