About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X60CA
The AirTAC MBLC50X60CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for fast, high-frequency arcing motion. It generates 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for moving heavier masses through a 60 mm stroke. Unlike the base MBL series, this variant features a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends to smoothly decelerate the piston near stroke completion.
This specific configuration includes a CA pivot/clevis back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate angular side loads, which is critical when the rod extends and retracts along a curved path. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light for tight spaces, while the Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear. Note that this SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X60CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Folding
Drives a 60 mm arcing motion to fold heavy cardboard flaps at high cycle rates, using the CA clevis to prevent rod binding and the air cushion to silence end-of-stroke impact.
Sortation Diverter Arm
Swings a heavy diverter mechanism across a conveyor belt; the 981 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily redirects totes while the tunable cushion prevents the pivot from hammering its stops.
Pallet Load Pusher
Transfers stacked goods onto a pallet along a curved path, relying on the pivot mount to handle the angular offset and the cushion to protect the end covers from the 881 N pull load.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X60CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the 40 mm bore reduces the output to 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 63 mm bore increases it to 1558 N. Choose the MBLC over the fixed-bumper MBL when your cycle speed or payload mass is high enough that a rubber bumper would degrade or cause impact shock. The adjustable air cushion needle is tuned to match the load and speed, but it only decelerates near the ends—it is not a brake or a load lock. If you need to hold position without live air pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For replacements, match the 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and 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 MBLC50X60CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at each end restricts exhaust flow to trap a pocket of air, decelerating the piston smoothly before it hits the end cover. You adjust it to match the load and speed, which cuts vibration and noise on fast, heavy moves. It is a deceleration device, not a position lock.
