The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X125SU is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 125mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Its compact riveted body suits push, hold and clamp motion in tight machine spaces.
The AirTAC MBLC50X125SU is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 50 mm bore and 125 mm stroke. It generates 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for moving heavier mid-sized payloads. The integrated -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic sensor switches to track rod position accurately throughout the stroke.
This model uses a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly near stroke limits, cutting impact noise and end-cover wear on fast cycles. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact and light for tight machinery, while the 20 um hard-chrome carbon-steel rod pairs with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for lasting friction control. The U flat-end back cover provides a rigid rear mounting interface.

Drives the flap-folding arm on a continuous-motion carton erector, using the 125 mm stroke and 981 N force to cleanly fold heavy corrugated board without bouncing the frame.
Acts as the rear pusher in an automatic bar feeder, advancing 50 mm steel stock into the spindle where the adjustable cushion prevents slamming the collet at the end of the 125 mm move.
Pivots a heavy steel diverter gate on a high-speed packaging conveyor, relying on the tunable air cushion to absorb the gate inertia and protect the U flat-end cover during rapid routing.
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore provides 981 N push and 881 N pull force. If your payload is lighter, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N push and 528 N pull, saving space and air consumption. If you need to move heavier masses, the 63 mm bore offers 1558 N push and 1457 N pull. Choose this MBLC cushioned version over the fixed-bumper base MBL when cycling rapidly or driving high-inertia loads that need tunable end-of-stroke deceleration. Note that the pneumatic cushion only reduces impact speed; it is not a brake. If the air supply drops or the valve centers, the rod will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for strict position holding. Replacement parts must match the 50 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, U back cover, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 981 N push and 881 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, it provides 1374 N push. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw needle at each end lets you tune the pneumatic cushioning to match your load and speed. It traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly before the end cover, reducing impact on fast or heavy moves. It does not lock the rod; it only softens the stop.
