The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC25X60SU is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Its compact riveted body suits push, hold and clamp motion in tight machine spaces.
The AirTAC MBLC25X60SU is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and 60mm stroke. It delivers 245N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for moderately paced positioning tasks. The integrated adjustable air cushion at both stroke ends allows you to tune the deceleration rate, absorbing kinetic energy to prevent harsh end-cover impacts on faster moves. Unlike fixed rubber bumpers, this screw-tunable pneumatic needle provides smooth braking without locking the piston.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for compatibility with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor switches to track rod position. The U code denotes a rigid flat-end back cover for straightforward inline mounting. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact for tight machine layouts, while the 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod resists wear against the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal.

Drives a small spindle or routing head up and down, using the 60mm stroke and cushioned ends to prevent impact shock during rapid board transitions.
Actuates a lightweight guide arm on a packaging line, where the 245N push force easily redirects containers without bouncing them at stroke end.
Applies downward pressure to seat electronic connectors, relying on the -S magnet and DMSG sensor to confirm exact 60mm extension for data logging.
If your application requires less force, the 20mm bore neighbor provides 157N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 32mm bore yields 402N. Choose this MBLC version over the base MBL when your cycle speeds are higher or the moved mass is significant enough that a fixed rubber bumper would wear out too quickly. Keep in mind that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it does not hold the rod in place if air pressure drops. For exact drop-in replacement matching, use bore 25, stroke 60, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, PT port thread, U flat-end back cover, and the -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the MBLC25X60SU provides 245N of push force and 206N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 343N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at each end restricts exhaust air flow near the stroke limits, decelerating the piston smoothly. You tune it to match the load and speed, reducing noise and end-cover impact, but it is not a load lock or brake.
