About the AirTAC MBLC40
The AirTAC MBLC40 is a double-acting aluminium-barrel mini cylinder with adjustable cushions with a 40 mm bore and a 16 mm piston rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628 N and pulls 528 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 880 N push and 739 N pull. Force depends on bore and pressure only, so every stroke on this page gives the same output.
All MBLC40 versions share 1/8" air ports, an M12×1.25 rod thread and adjustable air cushions at both ends. The cylinder runs on filtered air between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa), from -20 to +70 °C, at 30 to 800 mm/s. This page lists 93 stock order codes with strokes from 10 to 500 mm; the catalog maximum stroke is 500 mm.

Theoretical output force (Ø40 mm)
| Pressure | Push | Pull |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 739 N |
Push = pressure × bore area; pull subtracts the Ø16 mm rod area. Usable force is lower because of friction and back-pressure.

Where the MBLC40 Is Used
General automation
About 628 N at 0.5 MPa covers most pushing, lifting and indexing tasks.
Clamping fixtures
Rigid mountings hold the cylinder for clamps and presses.
Doors, gates and levers
Pivoting covers and brackets drive mechanisms that swing.
Choosing the Right MBLC40 Configuration
Start with the stroke. Pick the exact travel your machine needs; a longer stroke adds length, weight and air consumption without adding force. If your length is not listed, request a quote and we will confirm whether it can be built.
Then choose the back cover and mounting. The back cover sets how the rear of the cylinder is fixed or where its air enters (CA clevis-end cover, U flat-end cover). A clevis-end cover with an SDB pivot bracket lets the cylinder swing; flat or round covers with an FA flange or LB foot hold it rigid.
Finally pick the version: S adds a magnet for position sensors.
AirTAC MBLC40 FAQ
No. Every MBLC40 gives about 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, whatever the stroke.
1/8" ports, PT thread as standard.
Back covers: CA clevis-end cover, U flat-end cover. Pick a pivoting cover or bracket when the load moves in an arc, a rigid one for straight-line loads.
Usually yes. Request a quote with the stroke, mounting and version and we will confirm whether it can be built, plus price and lead time.
0.15 to 1.0 MPa operating pressure (proof 1.5 MPa) and -20 to +70 °C on filtered air.
No. You can order a single MBLC40. Orders are processed and handed to the carrier within 3-5 business days.
