About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X200U
The AirTAC MBLC50X200U is a double-acting, single-rod mini round cylinder engineered for compact automation. It produces 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 50 mm bore and a 200 mm stroke. The U designation indicates a rigid flat-end rear cover, providing a straightforward, solid mounting interface for straight-line transfer tasks. Because this specific SKU lacks the S suffix, it is built without a magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.
Distinguishing this variant from the fixed-bumper MBL is its screw-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both stroke endpoints. Rather than relying on rubber to absorb kinetic energy, you tune the cushion needle to smoothly decelerate the Ø16 carbon-steel rod before contact. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the envelope tight and lightweight, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains lubrication over high-cycle operations.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X200U Is Used
Bottling Line Diverters
Handles 200 mm diverting strokes on high-speed bottling conveyors, using the tuned air cushion to softly stop the 981 N push force without jarring the aluminum framework.
Carton Push-off Arms
Ejects packed cartons from staging zones in packaging machinery, where the adjustable end-cushioning protects the product and the rigid U cover maintains alignment during rapid retraction.
Press Feed Ejectors
Pushes stamped metal blanks out of a small mechanical press, relying on the 0.15-1.0 MPa operating range and pneumatic deceleration to manage fast, repetitive ejection cycles.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X200U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 50 mm bore, stepping down to the 32 mm bore lowers the output to 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 63 mm bore increases thrust to 1558 N. Choose this MBLC model over the base MBL if your 200 mm move cycles quickly or shifts enough mass that a fixed rubber bumper would prematurely wear or fracture the end covers. To replace this unit, match the 50 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, U flat-end back cover, and the absence of a magnet. Since the 200 mm stroke is substantial, the small 8-16 mm rod diameter offers limited side-load tolerance; use an external guide rail, a CA or SDB 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 MBLC50X200U FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder yields 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force. If you increase the supply to 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 1374 N. The theoretical maximum load is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle valve at both stroke ends traps a pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the piston before it hits the cover. You adjust it to match your load and speed, reducing impact and noise. It only functions near the stroke endpoints and does not lock or hold the rod if air pressure is lost.
