About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X500SCA
The AirTAC MBLC50X500SCA is a double-acting mini round cylinder engineered for substantial linear thrust within a compact riveted aluminum footprint. Delivering 981 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it utilizes a Ø16 hard-chrome carbon-steel rod and a G1/4 port to drive demanding 500 mm strokes. The integrated -S magnet enables position feedback via CMSG reed or DMSG and EMSG electronic switches.
This variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both stroke ends, allowing precise deceleration tuning to protect the end covers during heavy or high-velocity 500 mm traverses. The CA pivot back cover accommodates arcing loads by swinging on a pin, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures lasting friction-free operation.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X500SCA Is Used
Injection Mold Cart Ejection
Drives a 500 mm extraction arm to pull hot plastic parts from a press, using the CA pivot to absorb angular misalignment while the air cushion halts the heavy mold cart smoothly.
Pallet Transfer Pusher
Indexes heavy pallets down a packaging line where 981 N of push force is required, relying on the tunable cushion to prevent end-of-stroke impact during continuous rapid cycling.
PCB Stencil Wiping Station
Actuates a 500 mm cleaning stroke across large solder paste stencils, using the -S magnet with a DMSG electronic sensor to confirm full extension before the wiper blade retracts.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X500SCA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50 mm bore when an application demands 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa across a long 500 mm span. If your load is lighter, the 40 mm neighbor provides 628 N; for heavier drives, stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1558 N. Because the 500 mm stroke amplifies bending moments on the Ø16 rod, this CA pivot mount is critical for articulating loads, though an external guide or an MBLD double-rod cylinder is advised to fully arrest side-loading. The adjustable cushion is essential here over the fixed MBL bumper, but note it only decelerates near the ends and will not hold the load if air pressure drops. Replacement matches must specify PT thread, G1/4 port, and the CA 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 MBLC50X500SCA 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 maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper on the base MBL, this MBLC features a screw-adjustable needle at both ends that traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston. You tune the needle to match the load mass and speed, reducing impact noise and end-cover wear without locking the rod in place.
