About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X100SU
The AirTAC MBLC50X100SU is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered with a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. Delivering a robust 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (881 N pull) over a 100 mm stroke, it is built for dynamic tasks where fixed rubber bumpers would fail. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact and lightweight for tight machine envelopes.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (S) for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensor switches, and features a U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting. The Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod is protected by a 20 µm hard-chrome plating, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures consistent lubrication across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X100SU Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides 981 N of thrust to eject dense plastic parts from molding tools, using the adjustable cushion to prevent harsh snapping that could damage delicate product surfaces.
Pallet Diverting Arms
Drives heavy routing arms on packaging lines at high cycle rates, relying on the tunable air cushion to silently absorb the 100 mm stroke impact without shaking the frame.
PCB Test Fixtures
Actuates dense bed-of-nails test fixtures where the -S magnet triggers DMSG solid-state sensors to confirm test head position before high-voltage measurements begin.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X100SU the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50 mm bore when your application requires 981 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa but you need smoother end-of-stroke deceleration than a standard bumper provides. If you need less force, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N push. If you require more power, the 63 mm bore offers 1558 N push. The adjustable cushion needle lets you tune the trapping pressure to match your specific load and velocity, preventing end-cover impact on high-frequency cycles.
For replacement matching, verify the 100 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread form, U flat-end back cover, and the -S magnet. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it is not a brake. If the machine loses air supply, the rod will drift, so fit an external rod lock if position holding is critical.
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 MBLC50X100SU 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, the push increases to 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper found on the base MBL series, the MBLC50X100SU traps a pocket of exhaust air at both stroke ends. You turn a screw needle to tune the bleed rate, decelerating the piston smoothly to cut impact noise and protect the end covers on fast moves.
