About the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X60U
The AirTAC MBL25X60U is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. With a 25mm bore and 60mm stroke, it delivers 245N push and 206N pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for light-duty positioning and ejection tasks. The U suffix indicates a rigid flat-end rear cover that mounts flush against machine frames for straightforward fixed anchoring.
Unlike tie-rod cylinders, this unit features a riveted rolling-packed barrel where the covers are crimped directly to the aluminum tube, permanently sealing the body for a lighter footprint. Inside, a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life, while the Ø10 mm carbon-steel rod is protected by 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. This specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, meaning it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch.

Where the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X60U Is Used
PCB Depaneling Ejector
Uses the 245N push force at 0.5 MPa to cleanly eject singulated circuit boards from a routing fixture without damaging delicate traces.
Carton Flap Folder
The 60mm stroke rapidly folds small cardboard flaps on compact packaging lines, utilizing the rigid U flat-end cover for stable frame mounting.
Connector Insertion Press
Drives small electronic headers into sockets with precise 206N pull retraction, relying on the grease-retaining two-way piston seal for consistent cycling.
Is the Airtac MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X60U the Right Cylinder?
If you need slightly less force, the neighbouring MBL20 bore provides 157N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the MBL32 bore increases that to 402N. Because this 60mm stroke is under 300mm, side-load stress on the Ø10mm rod remains manageable without auxiliary guides. To absorb heavier end-of-stroke impacts, step up to the MBLC variant which adds an adjustable air cushion. Keep in mind the fixed rubber bumper on this base MBL only softens end-stroke impact; it does not lock the rod. If the load must be held without live air pressure, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Replacement match: 25mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U flat-end back cover, 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 MBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBL25X60U FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 245N and the pull force is 206N. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 343N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper that cannot be adjusted; for adjustable air cushioning, choose the MBLC variant. Additionally, this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches.
