About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X150SCA
The AirTAC MBLC50X150SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered to deliver 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its 150 mm stroke is driven by a Ø16 mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod, making it well-suited for moving heavier jigs or lifting mid-weight assemblies in compact machinery. A defining feature of this SKU is the CA pivot back cover, which swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads that would bind a rigid mount.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper found on the base MBL series, this MBLC variant utilizes a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both stroke ends. By tuning the needle valve, you control the deceleration rate of the piston, effectively absorbing kinetic energy to reduce end-cover impact, noise, and vibration during high-frequency or fast-paced cycling. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and compact, while the built-in magnet (-S) enables seamless integration with CMSG reed or DMSG and EMSG electronic sensor switches for precise position detection.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X150SCA Is Used
Pick-and-Place Gantry Arms
Drives vertical lifting arms on SMT lines where the 150 mm stroke clears tall component trays, relying on the cushion to stop the 981 N thrust smoothly without shaking delicate PCBs.
Pallet Diverters
Pushes loaded pallets off a packaging conveyor; the CA pivot absorbs the side-torque of the shifting load while the cushion prevents end-of-stroke slamming at high cycle rates.
Industrial Drawer Indexing
Actuates heavy-duty storage drawers in automated tool cribs, using the -S magnet to confirm full extension and the air cushion to protect the mechanical stops from impact wear.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X150SCA the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the MBLC50X150SCA is ideal when your application demands substantial thrust within a tight footprint, but sizing must account for the transition from linear to arcing motion provided by the CA clevis. If 981 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, stepping down to the 40 mm bore drops the push force to 628 N. Conversely, if you need more power, the 63 mm bore raises the push force to 1558 N. Because the 150 mm stroke generates significant momentum on heavier loads, the adjustable air cushion is critical here to prevent shock; a standard MBL bumper would wear rapidly under these conditions.
For replacement verification, confirm the 50 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and the -S magnet. Note that while the air cushion decelerates the piston smoothly near the ends, it does not function as a brake or lock; the rod will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve centers. For position holding without live air, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.

- ✓ 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 MBLC50X150SCA 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 force increases to 1374 N, with a maximum theoretical output of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod with an M14x1.5 rod-end thread and a G1/4 port.
The cushion traps a pocket of exhaust air at the end of the stroke, which is regulated by a screw-tuned needle valve. This allows you to dial in the exact deceleration rate for heavy 150 mm stroke loads, absorbing kinetic energy smoothly. Unlike a fixed rubber bumper that degrades over time from impact, the air cushion minimizes metal-to-metal shock, noise, and vibration.
