About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X200CA
The AirTAC MBLC50X200CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered with a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both stroke ends. Delivering 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa over a 200 mm travel, it is built for fast moves carrying heavier masses. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact and light rather than relying on a bulky tie-rod assembly. Inside, a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal works alongside a 20 µm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod to maintain lubrication and resist wear.
This specific SKU utilizes a CA pivot (clevis) back cover, allowing the cylinder to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads without binding. Because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing. The screw-tunable cushion decelerates the piston smoothly near the end caps to cut impact shock, but it is a deceleration device, not a load lock or brake.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X200CA Is Used
Pallet Transfer Diverter
Uses the 981 N push force and 200 mm stroke to smoothly divert heavy pallets on a packaging line, with the CA pivot absorbing angular misalignment during the arc.
Stamping Press Feed
Pushes metal strip into a stamping press where the adjustable air cushion decelerates the 200 mm extension to protect the end cover from high-frequency impact.
Vertical Carton Pusher
Moves packed cartons at 0.5 MPa using the 881 N pull force, relying on the tunable cushion to prevent sudden stops that would topple unstable loads.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X200CA the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore generates 981 N push and 881 N pull force. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N push, while moving up to the 63 mm bore provides 1558 N push for heavier payloads. The adjustable air cushion makes the MBLC series the right choice over the fixed rubber bumper of the base MBL when cycle speeds are high or the moved mass is substantial. For replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot cover, and non-magnet configuration. Because the 200 mm stroke is substantial for a Ø16 rod, side-load tolerance is low; use an external guide, the CA pivot mount, or an MBLD double-rod cylinder to prevent rod bending.
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 MBLC50X200CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 981 N push and 881 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, it yields 1374 N push and 1233 N pull. The maximum theoretical holding capacity is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at both ends traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke limits. You tune it to match the load and speed, cutting end-cover impact and vibration on fast moves. It only decelerates near the ends; it does not lock or hold the load if air pressure is lost.
