About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X30CA
The AirTAC MBLC50X30CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for short, powerful linear motion. It generates 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty clamping or lifting within a tight 30 mm travel. Unlike the base MBL series, this variant utilizes a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both stroke ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, actively reducing end-cover impact and vibration during high-speed operations.
This specific configuration includes a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the unit lightweight and compact, while the Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod features a 20 µm hard-chrome plating paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for extended operational life. Note that because this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X30CA Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Provides 981 N of rapid push force to eject heavy metal blanks from a stamping die, utilizing the adjustable air cushion to softly stop the 30 mm stroke and protect the tooling.
Pallet Diverter Arm
Actuates a pivoting diverter arm on a packaging line; the CA pivot back cover accommodates the arcing load path while the cushioned stroke prevents jarring stops during high-frequency routing.
Heavy Fixture Clamping
Secures thick steel plates in a welding fixture, using the 881 N pull force to retract the clamp rapidly while the tunable cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of the heavy 16 mm rod.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X30CA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50 mm bore model when your application demands high thrust within a compact footprint, specifically requiring 981 N push at 0.5 MPa over a short 30 mm stroke. If you need less force, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N of push, whereas moving up to the 63 mm bore provides 1558 N. The CA pivot mount is essential here for handling angular loads, contrasting with the rigid U flat-end cover. Choose this MBLC cushioned version over the fixed rubber bumper of the standard MBL when cycling heavier masses at faster speeds. Keep in mind that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it is not a locking mechanism, so an external rod lock is required to hold position without live air pressure. The replacement match is bore 50, stroke 30, port G1/4, 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 MBLC50X30CA 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.
The cushion features a screw-tunable needle at both ends that traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near stroke ends, preventing end-cover impact on fast moves. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot be fitted with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.
