The AirTAC AirTAC MBL40X60CA Mini Cylinder | 40mm Bore 60mm is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Its compact riveted body suits push, hold and clamp motion in tight machine spaces.
The AirTAC MBL40X60CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. Delivering a push force of 628 N and a pull force of 528 N at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke unit is built for light-duty cycling. Its riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the front and rear covers directly to the tube, yielding a low-weight body that is not designed to be disassembled like a standard tie-rod actuator.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing freely on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. The carbon-steel piston rod is hardened with 20 µm chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. Because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Drives a pivoting arm to fold cardboard flaps on carton sealing lines, utilizing the 628 N push force and CA clevis to swing smoothly through an arc.
Actuates a short 60 mm stroke diverter gate on a package routing conveyor, where the lightweight aluminum body minimizes inertia on the swing mechanism.
Pushes lightweight sub-assemblies into a palletizing cell, relying on the 528 N pull force to retract the arm quickly within a compact fixture.
Select this 40 mm bore actuator when your mechanism requires 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and a 60 mm stroke. If you need less force, step down to the 32 mm bore (402 N push); if you require greater thrust, step up to the 50 mm bore (981 N push). The CA pivot back cover is ideal for pivoting mechanisms, but if your application requires rigid fixed mounting, choose the flat-end U variant instead.
This base MBL model uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts; for faster or heavier cycling, choose the MBLC variant with adjustable air cushion. Note that a plain MBL does not hold its position if air pressure is lost—the rod will drift or drop. If load holding is mandatory without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Replacement match: 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA back cover, no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 880 N, with a maximum theoretical force of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating speed ranges from 30 to 800 mm/s.
No. The base MBL40X60CA uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impact, not an adjustable air cushion (you would need the MBLC variant for that). Additionally, because this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed position sensors.
