The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X75SCA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Its compact riveted body suits push, hold and clamp motion in tight machine spaces.
The AirTAC MBLC40X75SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation where end-of-stroke impact control is critical. It generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making this 75 mm stroke variant well-suited for mid-distance transfer and positioning tasks. Unlike the base MBL series, this model utilizes a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends to smoothly decelerate the piston, actively reducing shock, noise, and vibration on faster or heavier moves.
This configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S) for compatibility with AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (electronic) sensor switches to track rod position. The CA back cover provides a pivot/clevis mount that swings on a pin, accommodating arcing and angular loads. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and compact, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal and 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod ensure sustained friction-free operation.

Delivers 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa to seal housings on a rotary indexing table, using the CA pivot mount to smoothly accommodate the angular motion of the tooling arm.
Provides 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa to retract a diverter gate on a packaging line, with the adjustable air cushion absorbing the kinetic energy of the 75 mm rapid stroke.
Actuates a small parts bin tilt mechanism in a semi-automated assembly cell, relying on the CMSG reed sensor switch to confirm the discharge position.
If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 32 mm bore yields 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to the 50 mm bore provides 981 N for heavier payloads. Choose this MBLC variant over the fixed rubber bumper of the standard MBL when your machine cycles at high frequency or moves a substantial mass that requires tunable end-of-stroke deceleration. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it is not a locking mechanism. If the air supply is lost or the valve centers, the rod will drift and drop, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for position holding. This exact replacement match uses a 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod thread, PT thread form, CA pivot back cover, and an integrated magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 40 mm bore cylinder provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the output increases to 880 N of push and 739 N of pull. The theoretical maximum holding force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The MBLC40X75SCA features a screw-tunable pneumatic needle at both ends that traps a pocket of exhaust air to smoothly decelerate the piston near the stroke limits. You tune the needle to match your specific load and speed, which prevents end-cover impact on fast moves. It functions strictly as a deceleration device and does not lock or hold the load in place.
