The AirTAC Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X60SU is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Its compact riveted body suits push, hold and clamp motion in tight machine spaces.
The AirTAC MBL25X60SU is a genuine double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it generates 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force over a 60 mm stroke, making it well-suited for compact ejector or gating tasks. This SKU includes the -S magnet for position detection and the U flat-end back cover for rigid mounting.
Unlike tie-rod bodies, the MBL features a riveted rolling-packed barrel where the covers are crimped to the tube, ensuring a lightweight, compact footprint that is not designed to be disassembled. The carbon-steel piston rod is hardened with 20 um chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. Because this is the base MBL variant, end-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Position feedback is achieved via AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG / EMSG (solid-state) sensor switches that clip directly onto the grooved body.

Provides 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to positively eject populated printed circuit boards from test fixtures without damaging delicate traces.
Uses the 60 mm stroke and 206 N pull force to actuate a lightweight routing flap, redirecting small cartons between merging conveyor lines.
Holds electronic modules securely in place during automated functional testing, utilizing the integrated -S magnet to confirm clamp closure.
If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 20 mm bore yields 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore provides 402 N for heavier lifting. The U flat-end back cover provides a rigid rear mount for straightforward push-pull actions; choose a CA pivot cover if your mechanism requires angular rod alignment. For higher cycling speeds with heavier payloads, consider the MBLC variant, which replaces the fixed rubber bumper with an adjustable air cushion. Note that this cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost; use an external pilot-operated check valve for drop prevention. Replacement requires a 25 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U back cover, and the -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245 N and the pull force is 206 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 343 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
No, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts and cannot be adjusted. If your application requires adjustable end-cushioning to handle heavier moving masses, you must upgrade to the MBLC variant.
