About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X200SCA
The AirTAC MBLC50X200SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered to deliver 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Driven by air on both extend and retract strokes, it utilizes a Ø16 carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear in dynamic environments. The 200 mm stroke is well-suited for mid-range linear positioning tasks. Crucially, this variant replaces the standard fixed rubber bumper with a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends, allowing you to fine-tune end-of-stroke deceleration to match heavier loads and faster cycle speeds.
This specific configuration includes a CA pivot/clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads without binding the rod. The built-in magnet (-S) enables position detection via AirTAC CMSG reed switches or DMSG and EMSG solid-state sensors. Unlike bulky tie-rod ISO 15552 bodies, the riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the overall footprint exceptionally tight for its 200 kgf maximum theoretical capacity, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures stable lubrication over extended life cycles.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X200SCA Is Used
Carton Flap Folding
Drives the mechanical arms on case erectors, utilizing the 981 N force and 200 mm travel to fold heavy cardboard flaps at high speed without slamming the pivot joints.
Injection Mold Ejection
Pushes cured plastic parts out of mid-sized molds, relying on the tunable air cushion to decelerate the 200 mm stroke gently and protect delicate product surfaces.
Seed Hopper Gating
Opens and closes diverter gates inside agricultural seeding equipment, where the CA clevis back cover handles the angular vibration and arcing motion of the hopper assembly.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X200SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 50 mm bore actuator, evaluate your kinetic energy: if your move is slow and light, the base MBL with its fixed rubber bumper is sufficient, but the MBLC is required when cycling faster or moving a heavier mass that would otherwise slam the end covers. To step down, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1558 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Because the 200 mm stroke is substantial for a mini cylinder, side-load tolerance is a concern; the CA pivot back cover on this unit actively helps manage angular stresses, but for purely rigid linear loads over this travel, consider an external guide rail or the MBLD double-rod type to prevent rod bending. This replacement SKU features a G1/4 port, PT thread form, M14x1.5 rod-end thread, and the -S magnet for sensor switching.

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 MBLC50X200SCA 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, it delivers 1374 N of push force. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The cushion needle is screw-tunable at both ends of the cylinder. It traps a pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke ends, which you can dial in to match your specific load and speed. This reduces impact, noise, and vibration, but it is a deceleration device, not a load lock or brake.
