About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X25CA
The AirTAC MBLC50X25CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for short, powerful strokes. It generates 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The 25 mm stroke is ideal for high-impact operations like pressing or short ejection tasks where immediate force transfer is required. A defining feature of this MBLC variant is the screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends, which decelerates the piston smoothly near stroke termination to protect the end covers.
This specific configuration includes a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads without binding. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the unit lightweight and compact for tight machine cells, while the Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod features a 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear. Note that this SKU is supplied without a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X25CA Is Used
Stamping Pin Ejection
Uses the 25 mm short stroke and 981 N push force to rapidly eject stamped metal pins from a die, relying on the air cushion to soften the sudden end-of-stroke impact.
Pivot Arm Diverter
Leverages the CA pivot back cover to swing a heavy diverter arm on a packaging conveyor, absorbing angular movement while sorting cartons at high speed.
PCB Test Press
Applies controlled downward force on electronic test fixtures, where the 881 N pull force safely retracts the probe plate without shocking the delicate tooling.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X25CA the Right Cylinder?
Select the 50 mm bore when your application demands substantial force within a compact footprint. If you need to step down, the 32 mm bore yields 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, which suits lighter guiding tasks. Stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1558 N of push force at 0.5 MPa for heavier payloads. The adjustable air cushion makes this MBLC series preferable over the fixed rubber bumper of the base MBL when cycling quickly with heavy masses. Remember that the pneumatic cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it is not a locking mechanism, so an external rod lock is required to hold position during air loss. This SKU uses a G1/4 port, PT thread form, and a CA clevis cover.
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 MBLC50X25CA 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, push increases to 1374 N. The theoretical maximum is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a G1/4 port and an M14x1.5 rod-end thread.
No, this specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet required for position detection, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. You would need an MBLC50X25S variant to enable electronic or reed switch sensing.
