About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X225SU
The AirTAC MBLC50X225SU is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered with a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both stroke ends. Delivering 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore, 225 mm stroke unit is built to decelerate heavy loads smoothly rather than slamming into the end covers. Tuning the cushion needle allows you to match the deceleration profile to your specific mass and velocity, cutting impact noise and vibration on fast cycles.
This configuration includes the U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting and a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact and light, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal paired with a 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod ensures low-friction longevity. The integrated magnet supports AirTAC CMSG reed and DMSG or EMSG electronic solid-state sensor switches to confirm end-of-stroke positioning.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X225SU Is Used
Stator Winding Press
Drives a 225 mm stroke to seat copper stator coils into motor housings, using the adjustable cushion to gently decelerate the 981 N push force before impact.
Pallet Divert Arm
Actuates a routing arm for heavy packaging pallets, relying on the tunable air cushion to absorb the kinetic energy of the shifting mass without end-cover damage.
PCB Test Fixture
Moves a testing head over a 225 mm bed, utilizing the -S magnet with a DMSG electronic sensor to verify precise positioning before the probe descends.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X225SU the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50 mm bore when an application requires substantial thrust—981 N push at 0.5 MPa—but does not need the full 1558 N push of the larger 63 mm bore. Conversely, if your load is lighter, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N push and utilizes a more compact G1/8 port, whereas this 50 mm model uses a G1/4 port. Choose the MBLC over the fixed rubber bumper of the base MBL when cycling quickly with a heavy payload that would prematurely wear out a standard bumper. This SKU uses PT tapered port threads, an M14x1.5 rod-end, and a U flat-end back cover. To replace it exactly, match the bore, stroke, port, and magnet configuration. Because the stroke is 225 mm, the 16 mm rod has a moderate length; for side-load resilience, consider an external guide or a pivot bracket.
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 MBLC50X225SU FAQ
This 50 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/4 port and a Ø16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 thread. It generates 981 N push and 881 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, and reaches a maximum theoretical force of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at both ends traps a pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly before it hits the end cover. You adjust it to match your load and speed; it is strictly an end-of-stroke shock absorber, not a locking brake or position holder.
