The AirTAC AirTAC MBL50X60SU 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 MBL50X60SU is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces where high force is required. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it delivers 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force, making it suitable for driving heavier 60 mm movements. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the front and rear covers directly to the tube, yielding a lightweight, compact profile that is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU includes a U flat-end back cover for rigid, fixed mounting and a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection. The magnet interfaces seamlessly with AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG or EMSG (electronic solid-state) sensor switches. Additionally, the carbon-steel piston rod features a 20 um hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion, while the heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for a long service life.

Provides 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to eject dense plastic parts from tight mold cavities where a larger ISO cylinder cannot fit.
Uses the 60 mm stroke to extend a rigid stop block for halting heavy product pallets on a 50 mm conveyor line.
Drives a 50 mm bore arm to fold heavy corrugated cardboard flaps on high-speed packaging lines, relying on the 881 N pull force.
If you need slightly less force, the MBL40 bore provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa; for heavier demands, the MBL63 offers 1558 N. This 60 mm stroke model uses a G1/4 port, a Ø16 rod with an M14x1.5 thread, and PT thread form. Keep in mind the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact (for an adjustable air cushion, select the MBLC variant). Also, a plain MBL does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or exhausted—the rod will drift. If your application requires position holding without live pressure, use an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 981 N and the pull force is 881 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the base MBL50X60SU uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impact. If your application requires adjustable end-position damping for heavier or faster moving loads, you should step up to the MBLC variant, which features an adjustable air cushion.
