About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X225SCA
The AirTAC MBLC50X225SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. It delivers 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for moving heavier loads through a 225 mm stroke. The integrated magnet (-S) enables position detection, while the CA pivot back cover allows the body to swing on a pin to absorb angular travel.
Unlike the base MBL which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this MBLC variant lets you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to match your load and speed, effectively silencing end-cover impact and vibration. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact for tight spaces, and the Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear. The cushion needle only decelerates the piston near the ends; it is not a load lock or brake.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X225SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Beater
Drives the 225 mm beater motion on weaving machinery, using the adjustable cushion to halt the 981 N push force gently without shaking the loom frame at high cycle rates.
Pallet Transfer Pivot
Swings on its CA clevis to push pallets around a conveyor curve, relying on the tunable air cushion to prevent destructive end-of-stroke slamming when redirecting heavy goods.
Board Stacking Flap
Actuates a flap mechanism on packaging lines to stack fiberboard, using the -S magnet with a DMSG electronic sensor to verify the 225 mm stroke completion before the press cycles.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X225SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the Ø32 bore provides 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa; if you require more power, the Ø63 bore offers 1558 N. Choose this MBLC over the standard MBL when your application runs at high speeds or cycles frequently, as the fixed bumper on the MBL cannot adequately absorb the kinetic energy of a fast-moving 50 mm piston. Because this 225 mm stroke generates leverage forces on the rod, use the CA clevis mount, an external guide, or a double-rod MBLCD to prevent side-load bending. To replace this SKU exactly, match the 50 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot cover, and -S 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 MBLC50X225SCA 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 output is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a screw needle to tune end-of-stroke deceleration, protecting the end covers on fast moves; it does not lock the rod. The -S magnet allows CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches to detect rod position.
