About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X100CA
The AirTAC MBLC50X100CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. It delivers 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for moving heavier masses through a 100 mm stroke. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact and lightweight rather than relying on a rebuildable tie-rod design.
This specific configuration uses a CA pivot/clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. The carbon-steel rod features a 20 um hard-chrome plating paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X100CA Is Used
Injection Mold Extraction
Leverages the 981 N push force and CA clevis pivot to extract heavy plastic parts from molding presses, absorbing the fast retraction impact via the tunable air cushion.
Pallet Diverting Arm
Uses the 100 mm stroke to push heavy pallets onto a parallel conveyor line, where the adjustable cushion halts the heavy lateral load smoothly without slamming the end cover.
Heavy Crate Pusher
Indexes loaded corrugated boxes along a roller bed, relying on the double-acting 0.15-1.0 MPa operation and 30-800 mm/s speed range to maintain rapid, controlled cycling.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X100CA the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down from this 50 mm bore, the 40 mm size yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1558 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose this MBLC variant over the base MBL when your application runs at high speed or high frequency, as the tunable cushion needle decelerates the piston smoothly near the stroke ends to protect the end covers from impact. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the rod near the ends; it is not a brake, and a plain cylinder will not hold position if air is lost or the valve centers. The exact replacement match is bore 50, stroke 100, port G1/4, rod thread M14x1.5, PT thread form, CA pivot back cover, and no magnet.
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 MBLC50X100CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, it yields 1374 N push and 1233 N pull. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at both stroke ends releases trapped air to decelerate the piston smoothly before it hits the end cover. You adjust the needle to match your load and speed, which cuts vibration and noise on fast, heavy moves. It only decelerates near the ends and does not lock or hold the load.
