About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X80SCA
The AirTAC MBLC50X80SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and 80mm stroke. It delivers 981N of push force and 881N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for moderately heavy positioning tasks within a compact footprint. Unlike the base MBL series, this variant utilizes a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both stroke ends, allowing you to tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to match your specific load and speed. This significantly reduces impact shock, noise, and end-cover wear on faster or heavier cycles.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for use with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches to detect rod position along its travel. It is configured with a CA pivot back cover, which swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and compact for tight spaces, while the Ø16 carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for extended operational life.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X80SCA Is Used
Packaging Carton Erectors
Provides the 981N push force needed to positively fold and square heavy corrugated board, using the CA pivot to self-align during the stroke and the air cushion to arrest fast 80mm movements smoothly.
Pallet Diverters
Handles lateral product diversion on conveyor lines where the 80mm stroke is sufficient to push parcels, with the cushion needle tuned to stop the 50mm bore piston quietly without jarring the conveyor frame.
Assembly Line Indexing
Indexes heavy sub-assemblies into a workstation, using the -S magnet with a DMSG electronic sensor to confirm the extended position before the next machine cycle begins.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X80SCA the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, the 40mm bore neighbor provides 628N of push force at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the 63mm bore yields 1558N for heavier demands. The 80mm stroke hits a sweet spot for short, rapid moves, but keep in mind that the Ø16 rod offers limited side-load tolerance. For arcing movements, the CA pivot cover on this model is essential, though an external guide or the MBLD double-rod type is recommended if the mechanism experiences severe lateral stress. Remember that the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends—it is not a brake or load lock, so the rod will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve centers. To replace this unit exactly, match the 50mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread form, CA pivot back cover, and -S magnet.

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 MBLC50X80SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 981N of push force and 881N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 1374N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle valve at both ends traps a pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly before it hits the end cover. You adjust the needle to match your load and speed, which reduces impact noise and vibration. It functions only as an end-of-stroke damper, not a mid-stroke braking or load-holding lock.
