About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X50CA
The AirTAC MBLC50X50CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered with a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends. Generating 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it is built for compact installations needing smooth deceleration. The 50 mm bore uses a Ø16 mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod and a G1/4 port. This 50 mm stroke suits short, rapid positioning tasks.
Unlike the base MBL series, which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this MBLC variant lets you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration needle to match heavier loads, cutting impact shock and vibration. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and tight for confined spaces. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X50CA Is Used
Pallet Transfer Stops
Halts 50 mm stroke pallet traffic smoothly using 981 N of push force, with the tuned cushion absorbing the shock of heavy unit loads.
Injection Mold Ejection
Knocks out plastic parts at high frequency without slamming the rear cover, leveraging the adjustable air cushion to protect the tooling.
Case Erector Pusher
Folds cardboard cases in tight machinery gaps, using the CA pivot clevis to accommodate slight angular misalignment during the push arc.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X50CA the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore yields 981 N push and 881 N pull. If you need less force, the 40 mm bore neighbor provides 628 N push, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore gives 1558 N push. Choose this MBLC cushioned version over the fixed-bumper MBL when cycling rapidly with a heavy mass, as the tunable needle protects the end covers. Note that the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke ends; it is not a brake. A plain MBLC will not hold position if air is lost or the valve centers, so add an external rod lock for pilot-operated drop protection. Replacement match: 50 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G1/4 port, 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 MBLC50X50CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 981 N and the pull force is 881 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 1374 N. The theoretical maximum force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw needle at both ends traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke limits. You tune it to match the load and speed, which reduces impact, noise, and vibration. It is a deceleration device, not a load lock or brake.
