About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X10CA
The AirTAC MBLC50X10CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for short, high-force strokes. It generates 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and utilizes a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly. This protects the end covers from impact wear during rapid cycling. The 10 mm stroke is ideal for very short linear actuation tasks.
This SKU features a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads, preventing rod binding. It uses a Ø16 mm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal. Note that because this model lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X10CA Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Delivers a rapid 981 N punch to eject stamped metal blanks from a die, using the short 10 mm stroke and adjustable cushion to absorb the sudden end-of-travel impact.
Heavy Pallet Diverter
Swings a pivot arm to deflect heavy pallets on a packaging line, where the CA clevis mount absorbs the angular side-load and the cushion prevents harsh snapping.
PCB Test Socket Clamping
Secures electronic test fixtures with high force over a minimal 10 mm travel, relying on the tunable air cushion to prevent vibration that could damage delicate circuit boards.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X10CA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50 mm bore when you need substantial thrust in a compact footprint. If you need less force, step down to the 32 mm bore which provides 402 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you require more power, the 63 mm bore offers 1558 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose the MBLC over the fixed-bumper MBL when operating at high speeds or moving heavier masses that require tunable end-of-stroke deceleration. Keep in mind the pneumatic cushion only decelerates near the stroke ends; it is not a brake and will not hold the load if air pressure is lost.
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 MBLC50X10CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 981 N push and 881 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 1374 N push and 1233 N pull. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/4 port and an M14x1.5 rod-end thread.
No. Because the model code lacks the -S suffix, this cylinder does not have a built-in magnet. You must select an MBLC50X10S variant if you need to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches for rod position detection.
