About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X10SCA
The AirTAC MBLC50X10SCA is a compact, double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for short, powerful strokes. It delivers 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and a robust Ø16 carbon-steel rod with a 20 um hard-chrome plating. Unlike the base MBL, this variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends, decelerating the piston smoothly near stroke completion to cut impact noise and vibration on fast, heavy moves.
The 10 mm stroke is ideal for high-force clamping or ejection in tight spaces. The CA pivot back cover allows the body to swing on a pin, accommodating arcing or angular loads that would bind a rigid mount. A built-in magnet (-S) enables position detection with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the unit light, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures lasting friction control.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X10SCA Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Uses the 981 N push force to knock small metal blanks out of a die in a 10 mm stroke, relying on the adjustable air cushion to silently absorb the sudden end-of-stroke impact.
Pallet Diverter Arm
Pivots a guide rail to sort heavy pallets, where the CA clevis mount accommodates the swing geometry and the cushion prevents harsh jerking on rapid reversals.
PCB Test Fixture
Drives a bed-of-nails probe down 10 mm, using the -S magnet with a DMSG electronic sensor to confirm test engagement before the press applies full pressure.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X10SCA the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when a short 10 mm stroke needs high thrust (981 N at 0.5 MPa) with self-aligning capability. If you need less force and a smaller footprint, step down to the 32 mm bore (402 N push at 0.5 MPa). If you require even greater power, step up to the 63 mm bore (1558 N push at 0.5 MPa). The CA clevis mount is essential for arcing loads, but note that a plain cylinder does not hold position if air is lost; the cushion only decelerates near the ends and acts as no lock. For exact replacements, match the 50 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot cover, and -S 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 MBLC50X10SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at both end covers traps a pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the Ø16 rod smoothly before it hits the end cap. You tune the needle to match your load and speed, which is critical for protecting the cylinder on high-impact, short-stroke operations. It is a deceleration device, not a load lock.
