The AirTAC AirTAC MBL50X60SCA Mini Cylinder | 50mm Bore 60mm 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 MBL50X60SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. It delivers a robust 981 N push force at 0.5 MPa and features a 60 mm stroke, making it well-suited for mid-range actuation where a larger profile cylinder will not fit. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the overall body light and small, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod unit.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for use with AirTAC CMSG reed and DMSG/EMSG solid-state sensor switches to track rod position. It is equipped with a CA pivot back cover that allows the cylinder body to swing freely on a pin, accommodating arcing or angular loads. The carbon-steel piston rod features a 20 um hard-chrome plating for high wear and corrosion resistance, paired with a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for a long service life.

Swings a guide arm on a pin via the CA pivot back cover to thread yarn, using the 981 N push force to maintain tension on a compact weaving loom.
Folds cardboard box flaps on a high-speed packaging line where the 60 mm stroke and DMSG electronic sensor verify proper closure for sealing.
Actuates a sorting diverter on a tight conveyor module; the compact riveted aluminum barrel fits between rollers while handling 881 N pull force.
For lower force requirements, stepping down to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1558 N. This model uses a G1/4 port and a PT tapered thread form. The CA pivot back cover is ideal for swinging mechanisms, but if a rigid fixed rear mounting is needed, the U flat-end variant is preferred. Keep in mind the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact; it is not an adjustable air cushion (choose the MBLC variant for that). Furthermore, this cylinder will not hold a load if air pressure is lost or exhausted—the rod will drift and drop, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N, with a theoretical maximum of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
No, the base MBL50X60SCA uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impact, not an adjustable cushion screw. If your application requires adjustable air cushioning for heavier or faster moving loads, you should select the MBLC variant instead.
