The AirTAC AirTAC MBL40X60SU Mini Cylinder | 40mm Bore 60mm Stroke 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 MBL40X60SU is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force across its 60 mm stroke. This bore size features a G1/4 port and a Ø16 mm carbon steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. The U flat-end back cover provides a rigid, fixed rear mounting face for straightforward vertical or horizontal installation.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection via AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG and EMSG solid-state sensor switches. The body uses a riveted rolling-packed construction, crimping the front and rear covers directly to the aluminum tube to minimize weight and footprint, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion screw.

Related variants: MBLC (adjustable cushion), MBLD (double rod), MBLJ (adjustable stroke), MSBL/MTBL (single acting).
Secures printed circuit board panels during routing with 628 N of push force, while the 60 mm stroke accommodates varying stack heights in dense electronics manufacturing cells.
Actuates a lightweight routing flap on a packaging line; the riveted aluminum body resists vibration and the -S magnet confirms gate position for the PLC.
Folds minor flaps on small cartons prior to sealing, using the rigid U flat-end cover to mount directly to the machine frame without pivot sway.
Select this 40 mm bore when a 32 mm bore (402 N push @0.5 MPa) lacks the power to move your load, but a 50 mm bore (981 N push @0.5 MPa) is physically too large for the envelope. The 60 mm stroke offers a short, fast extension for compact ejection or clamping tasks. If your application requires faster cycling with heavier loads and needs end-of-stroke speed tuning, step up to the MBLC variant which replaces the fixed rubber bumper with an adjustable air cushion.
The U flat-end back cover suits rigid straight-line mounting, but because the Ø16 mm rod has limited side-load tolerance, ensure the load is guided externally. A plain MBL cylinder cannot hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. For positive holding without live pressure, install an external pilot-operated check valve or a rod lock. Replacement matching requires a 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/4 port size, PT thread form, U back cover, and the -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628 N and the pull force is 528 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 880 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The double-acting cylinder operates at a speed of 30-800 mm/s.
This model uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact and does not have an adjustable air cushion (for that, choose the MBLC variant). Because it has the -S suffix, it includes a built-in magnet and is compatible with AirTAC CMSG reed switches and DMSG or EMSG electronic solid-state sensors.
