About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X225CA
The AirTAC MBLC50X225CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for demanding actuation. It generates 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa. The 225 mm stroke provides extended travel for positioning heavier components. Unlike the fixed rubber bumper of the standard MBL, this MBLC variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. You tune the needle to smoothly decelerate the piston near stroke limits, cutting impact shock and vibration on fast cycles.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. It uses a G1/4 port and a Ø16 carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear resistance. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact and lightweight. Note that this model lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic position sensors.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X225CA Is Used
Packaging Pallet Dispenser
Lifts and feeds empty pallets into a high-speed packaging line, using the 981 N push force and 225 mm stroke while the CA pivot absorbs angular misalignment during pallet engagement.
Sorting Diverter Arm
Actuates a heavy diverter mechanism on a parcel conveyor, relying on the tunable air cushion to smoothly slow the 225 mm stroke and prevent end-cover impact during rapid routing.
Warehouse Vertical Gate
Raises and lowers a weighted access gate on an automated storage shuttle, using the double-acting 1374 N force at 0.7 MPa to overcome gravity on the downward pull.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X225CA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50 mm bore when your application requires roughly 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 40 mm bore neighbor outputs 628 N push, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1558 N. The 225 mm stroke is a standard made-to-order length under the 500 mm maximum. Because this is a long stroke with a 16 mm rod, side-load tolerance is low; you must use an external guide, the CA pivot mount, or an MBLD double-rod cylinder to prevent rod bending.
Choose the MBLC over the base MBL when moving heavier masses or cycling at high frequencies where a fixed bumper would fail. The adjustable air cushion decelerates the load near the ends but does not lock the rod; if you need position holding without live air, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Replacement match: 50 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, no magnet.
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 MBLC50X225CA 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 reaches 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. This specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet (-S code), so it cannot support AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensor switches. You would need an MBLC50X225S variant to mount position sensors along the barrel.
