About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X10SU
The AirTAC MBLC50X10SU is a double-acting, adjustable-air-cushion mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-force actuation. A 50 mm bore yields 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the 10 mm stroke delivers rapid, short-travel movements. The U designation indicates a rigid flat-end back cover, providing a solid rear mounting face for straightforward fixed installations.
Unlike the base MBL bumper, the MBLC features a screw-tunable pneumatic cushion at both ends, allowing you to dial in end-of-stroke deceleration for heavier or faster cycling loads. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and space-efficient, and the 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod resists wear. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor switches for precise position detection.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X10SU Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Provides 981 N of push at 0.5 MPa to knock out small stamped metal parts, using the 10 mm stroke for high-speed, short-trip ejection where the air cushion prevents end-cover slamming.
Packaging Diverter Gate
Actuates a short-travel routing flap on a packaging conveyor, moving heavy cartons rapidly while the tunable cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of the 50 mm bore at high cycling frequencies.
PCB Router Clamping
Secures PCB panels during routing operations; the rigid U flat-end back cover handles the rear thrust while the integrated magnet allows a DMSG sensor to confirm clamp engagement instantly.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X10SU the Right Cylinder?
For short 10 mm movements, stepping down to the 40 mm bore reduces output to 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 63 mm bore increases force to 1558 N. Choose this MBLC cushioned variant over the standard MBL when your cycle speeds are high enough that a fixed rubber bumper would cause damaging impact shock. The adjustable needle decelerates the load smoothly but does not lock the rod; if you need position holding without continuous air pressure, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Replacement match: 50 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, U flat-end back cover, magnet fitted.

- ✓ 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 MBLC50X10SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the 50 mm bore 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 stroke ends traps a pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near the end caps. You tune the needle to match your load and speed, which reduces impact noise and vibration compared to a fixed rubber bumper. It only decelerates near the ends and does not lock the rod in place.
