The AirTAC AirTAC MBL50X60CA Mini Cylinder | 50mm Bore 60mm Stroke is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø50mm 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 MBL50X60CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered to deliver 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Featuring a 50 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, it provides substantial thrust in a riveted rolling-packed body that fits where larger tie-rod cylinders cannot. This specific SKU includes a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads during movement.
Unlike profile cylinders, this unit is built for tight spatial envelopes and uses a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for long service life. The Ø16 mm carbon-steel piston rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for high wear and corrosion resistance. Because this model lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, which softens impact but is not an adjustable air cushion.

Executes 60 mm strokes to push packages weighing up to 100 kg onto branching conveyor belts, utilizing the 981 N push force and CA pivot to track the diverter arm's arc.
Drives the oscillating reed frame in compact weaving looms, where the CA clevis accommodates the lateral pivot motion and the 881 N pull force retracts the mechanism smoothly.
Folds inner corrugated flaps on medium-sized cartons prior to sealing, fitting into the tight overhead clearance of palletizers while delivering 1374 N at 0.7 MPa.
If your application requires less force, the MBL40 bore offers 628 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more thrust, the MBL63 bore provides 1558 N push at 0.5 MPa. The CA clevis mount on this unit is ideal for mechanisms where the load path changes angle through the stroke. If you need precise end-position deceleration for heavier moving masses, step up to the MBLC variant which features an adjustable air cushion instead of the standard fixed rubber bumper.
Remember that a plain MBL cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. You must use an external pilot-operated check valve or rod lock for fail-safe positioning. This SKU uses a G1/4 port, PT thread form, and an M14x1.5 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 981 N push and 881 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches cannot be fitted. For cushioning, it relies on a fixed rubber bumper; if you need adjustable end-of-stroke air cushioning, select the MBLC variant.
