About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X30SCA
The AirTAC MBLC50X30SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation, delivering a push force of 981 N and a pull force of 881 N at 0.5 MPa. Driven by air on both extend and retract strokes, it integrates a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends to smoothly decelerate the piston near stroke limits, actively reducing impact shock and vibration on faster or heavier loads.
This specific configuration features a 50 mm bore, a short 30 mm stroke, and a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. It includes a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches, and utilizes a 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for lasting friction control.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X30SCA Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides 981 N of push at 0.5 MPa to eject small plastic parts from injection molds, using the short 30 mm stroke and adjustable cushion to prevent harsh end-of-travel impacts that could damage delicate cores.
Pallet Diverter Arm
Swings a diverter arm on a packaging conveyor to redirect small product cartons, where the CA pivot back cover handles the angular load and the cushioned stroke ensures quiet, smooth retraction.
PCB Press Fit Head
Applies 881 N of pull force to seat electronic connectors onto printed circuit boards, relying on the -S magnet and DMSG electronic switch for exact 30 mm movement tracking without overshock.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X30SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you require less force, the 40 mm bore neighbor provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not applicable as 50 mm is already a robust size for short-stroke tasks. Choose this MBLC variant over the base MBL when your cycle speeds or moving masses exceed what a fixed rubber bumper can safely absorb. The adjustable cushion needle allows you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration precisely, but note this mechanism only slows the piston near the ends; it is not a brake and will not hold the load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. For position holding without live air, an external pilot-operated check or rod lock is required. Replacement match: 50 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, magnet included.
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 MBLC50X30SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the 50 mm bore delivers 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
The MBLC50X30SCA features a screw-tunable needle at both ends that traps a small amount of exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke limits. You tune this needle to match your load and speed, which protects the end covers from impact damage far better than a fixed rubber bumper.
