About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL20X60SU
The AirTAC MBL20X60SU is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. At 20mm bore, it generates 157N push and 132N pull force at 0.5MPa, making the 60mm stroke well-suited for small part ejection or lightweight gating tasks. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body light and small, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU includes a U flat-end back cover for rigid fixed mounting and a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection. The carbon-steel piston rod features 20um hard-chrome plating for wear resistance, and the heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life. It uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL20X60SU Is Used
PCB Depaneling Ejector
Uses the 157N push at 0.5MPa to safely eject cut PCB panels from a router without damaging delicate traces in tight electronics assembly lines.
Semiconductor Wafer Gate
Acts as a compact 60mm stroke diverter gate for wafer cassettes, utilizing the built-in magnet to trigger DMSG sensors for precise indexing.
Small Parts Sorter
Provides rapid 60mm linear strokes to push small plastic components into packaging tubes, relying on the lightweight riveted aluminum body for high-speed cycling.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL20X60SU the Right Cylinder?
If you need slightly less force, step down to the 20mm bore's nearest neighbour, but note the MBL line starts here. To gain power, step up to the 25mm bore which provides 245N push at 0.5MPa. For faster or heavier moves requiring end-deceleration, select the MBLC variant with adjustable air cushioning instead of this fixed rubber bumper. The -S magnet on this unit supports AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (electronic) sensor switches. Remember that a plain MBL will drift and drop if air pressure is lost; use an external rod lock for position holding under load.
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 MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL20X60SU FAQ
The 20mm bore provides 157N push and 132N pull at 0.5MPa, 220N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 32kgf at 1.0MPa.
No, the base MBL20X60SU uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts. For adjustable air cushioning, you must select the MBLC variant.
