The AirTAC AirTAC MBL40X60U 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 MBL40X60U is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces where a larger profile body cannot fit. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force over a 60 mm stroke, making it a robust choice for mid-range actuation tasks.
This SKU features a rigid U flat-end rear cover for fixed mounting and uses a G1/4 port paired with a Ø16 mm carbon steel rod plated with 20 µm hard chrome for wear resistance. The riveted rolling-packed barrel ensures a lightweight, compact footprint, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder. Because this specific configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Handles 60 mm diverting strokes on compact packaging conveyors where 628 N of push force reliably pushes cartons into secondary lanes.
Secures PCB panels during routing operations; the rigid U flat-end mount withstands cutting vibration while the 528 N pull retracts the clamp.
Ejects molded plastic parts from tight tooling cavities, utilizing the 60 mm stroke and hard-chrome plated rod to resist side wear.
Stepping down to the 32 mm bore drops the output to 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 50 mm bore increases it to 981 N, giving you clear scaling options around this 628 N model. If your cycle speeds generate destructive end-of-stroke impacts, upgrade to the MBLC variant for adjustable air cushioning, as the base MBL relies solely on a fixed rubber bumper.
The U flat-end back cover provides a rigid rear mount, and the PT port thread is the default tapered form. Note that a plain MBL does not hold its position if air pressure is lost; the rod will drift, so an external pilot-operated check valve is required for load holding. Replacement specifications: 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, U back cover, no 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 reaches 880 N. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact; it does not have an adjustable cushion screw (choose MBLC for that). Additionally, because this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic position sensors.
