The AirTAC AirTAC MBL50X60U 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 MBL50X60U is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machinery spaces. It delivers a robust 981 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making this 60 mm stroke variant well-suited for mid-range actuation tasks. The U suffix denotes a rigid flat-end rear cover, providing a stable fixed-foot mounting base. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.
Inside this compact body, a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long-term friction reduction. The 16 mm carbon-steel piston rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. The front and rear covers are crimped to the aluminum barrel in a riveted rolling-pack process, ensuring a lightweight footprint but meaning the body is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder.

Uses the 981 N push force to knock finished plastic parts out of injection molding dies where machine clearance is strictly limited.
Pushes medium-weight cartons onto secondary packaging tracks using the 60 mm stroke and rigid U flat-end mounting for stable arc-free travel.
Actuates electronic test fixtures inside dense semiconductor machinery, relying on the 30-800 mm/s speed range for rapid cycling.
If 981 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, step down to the 40 mm bore, which yields 628 N push. If your application requires more power, the 63 mm bore provides 1558 N. For faster or heavier moves needing end-deceleration, choose the MBLC variant, which replaces the fixed rubber bumper with an adjustable air cushion. The base MBL50X60U cannot hold a load if air pressure drops; the rod will drift, so add an external pilot-operated check valve for position holding.
This 60 mm stroke is well within standard limits and avoids the bending risks associated with long mini rods. The port size is G1/4 with a PT tapered thread form. Replacement parts must match the 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, U flat-end back cover, and lack of a magnet.
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 reaches 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
The base MBL50X60U uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact and cannot be adjusted. For adjustable air cushioning, select the MBLC variant. Additionally, this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so no CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic sensor switch can be fitted for rod position detection.
