About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X100SCA
The AirTAC MBLC50X100SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered to deliver 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Driven by a Ø16 mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod with an M14x1.5 end thread, this 100 mm stroke unit integrates a built-in magnet for position detection. It is specifically designed for applications requiring robust thrust within a tight spatial footprint.
Unlike the base MBL which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this MBLC variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends. Tuning the cushion needle lets you smoothly decelerate the piston near stroke extremes, effectively absorbing impact and vibration on heavier or faster moves. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light yet durable, while the CA pivot back cover allows the cylinder to swing on a pin, making it ideal for arcing and angular load paths.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X100SCA Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Uses the 981 N push force at 0.5 MPa to knock stamped metal blanks out of a die, relying on the adjustable air cushion to silently absorb the sudden deceleration of the heavy ejector plate.
Pallet Diverting Arm
Leverages the CA pivot back cover to swing a diverter arm across a packaging line, smoothly routing heavy boxes while the 100 mm stroke provides the exact reach needed.
PCB Test Fixture Clamping
Applies controlled downward pressure on test probes, utilizing the -S magnet with a DMSG electronic sensor to confirm the clamp is fully engaged before testing begins.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X100SCA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50 mm bore when your application demands substantial thrust that smaller bores cannot provide; stepping down to a 32 mm bore drops your push force to 402 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 63 mm bore increases it to 1558 N. The -S code designates a built-in magnet compatible with AirTAC CMSG reed and DMSG or EMSG electronic sensor switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. The CA back cover provides a clevis pivot that accommodates lateral arcing movements, which is critical if the driven load follows a non-linear path.
This model uses a G1/4 port and PT tapered thread. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends of travel; it is not a locking mechanism. If the air supply is lost or the valve centers, the rod will drift, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required to hold position securely.
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 MBLC50X100SCA FAQ
This 50 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/4 port and delivers a push force of 981 N and a pull force of 881 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The cushion is a screw-tunable pneumatic needle valve at both ends of the stroke. By adjusting the needle, you control the exhaust flow rate of trapped air, allowing the piston to decelerate smoothly before hitting the end cover. This reduces impact noise and wear on high-speed or heavy loads, functioning as a damper rather than a holding brake.
