About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X450CA
The AirTAC MBLC50X450CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for a 50 mm bore and 450 mm stroke. It generates 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa. The CA designation specifies a pivot clevis back cover, allowing the body to swing on a pin to accommodate angular or arcing loads during motion. This cylinder features screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushions at both stroke ends, decelerating the piston smoothly to prevent end-cover impact on long, fast traverses.
Because this 450 mm stroke lacks the -S code, no internal magnet is fitted and it cannot host a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the envelope compact and lightweight, while the Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for low-friction longevity. The G1/4 port handles the necessary airflow, and the standard PT tapered threads integrate directly into your existing pneumatic infrastructure.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X450CA Is Used
Textile Loom Beam Indexing
Swings on its CA clevis to feed heavy fabric beams through a 450 mm arc, using the 981 N push force and tuned air cushion to halt the 50 mm bore smoothly without jarring the warp threads.
Pallet Transfer Pusher
Shifts loaded pallets laterally between conveyor lines, where the 450 mm stroke provides the necessary reach and the adjustable end-cushioning prevents sudden stops that would tip unstable loads.
Warehouse Strip Curtain Opener
Pivots a heavy strip-curtain door open for forklift passage across a 450 mm radius, relying on the double-acting 0.7 MPa thrust to overcome hinge friction and the cushion to close it softly.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X450CA the Right Cylinder?
To size this optimally, consider the neighboring bores. Stepping down to a 40 mm bore drops the output to 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, which may be insufficient if you are moving heavy jigs. Stepping up to a 63 mm bore raises the force to 1558 N push at 0.5 MPa, providing a heavier margin for high-inertia loads. Choose this MBLC variant over the base MBL when your cycle speeds or payload masses exceed what a fixed rubber bumper can safely absorb. The adjustable cushion needle tunes end-of-stroke deceleration but is not a brake; it will not hold the rod if air pressure is lost or exhausted.
For a 450 mm stroke, side-load tolerance is a critical factor. The Ø16 mm rod is susceptible to bending under off-axis forces. The CA pivot clevis on this unit actively helps by self-aligning to arcing loads, but for rigid lateral loads you should use an external guide rail, an SDB pivot bracket, or switch to an MBLD double-rod cylinder to prevent premature seal wear. Replacement match: 50 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, no magnet.

- ✓ 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 MBLC50X450CA 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 increases to 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
No. Because the model code lacks the -S suffix, this specific SKU is manufactured without a built-in magnet and cannot accept AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches for rod position detection.
