About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X15CA
The AirTAC MBLC50X15CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for short, powerful arcing motions. A 50 mm bore generates 981 N of push and 881 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for heavy pivoting mechanisms within tight assemblies. Unlike the base MBL, this variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends to smoothly decelerate the piston, protecting the end covers during fast, heavy cycles.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate angular side-loads. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and compact, while the 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod resists wear against the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal. Note that this model lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X15CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Folder
Uses the 15 mm stroke and CA pivot to swing heavy cardboard flap folders rapidly, relying on the 981 N force and tuned air cushion to prevent end-of-stroke impact.
Sorter Diverter Arm
Pivots a diverter gate on a high-speed parcel conveyor, where the adjustable cushion absorbs the mass of the arm and packages at 0.5 MPa without bouncing.
Pallet Wrap Cutter
Actuates a heavy stretch-film cutting blade on a wrapping ring, using the short stroke and clevis mount to swing precisely through tight packaging machinery clearances.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X15CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need substantial force in a compact footprint; it pushes 981 N and pulls 881 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the 40 mm neighbor provides 628 N push, whereas stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1558 N. The 15 mm stroke is highly specialized for short-throw pivoting; if you need rigid linear thrust instead of an arcing load, select the U flat-end cover version.
The adjustable air cushion is essential if you are cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses where a fixed rubber bumper would degrade. Remember that the pneumatic cushion only decelerates near the stroke ends; it is not a brake. If the air supply is lost or the valve centers, the rod will drift, so fit an external rod lock for fail-safe position holding.
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 MBLC50X15CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 981 N push and 881 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it provides 1374 N push. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/4 port and a Ø16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 rod-end thread.
A screw-tunable needle at both ends traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke limits. You tune it for your specific load and speed to reduce impact, noise, and vibration. It is strictly a deceleration device, not a load lock or brake.
