About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X60CA
The AirTAC MBLC40X60CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 40 mm bore and a 60 mm stroke. It generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Unlike the fixed rubber bumper found on the base MBL series, this variant utilizes a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both stroke ends. Tuning the needle valves allows you to smoothly decelerate the piston, reducing end-cover impact and vibration on heavier or faster moves.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot clevis back cover, allowing the body to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing loads. It uses a G1/4 port and a Ø16 mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod with an M12x1.25 thread. Note that because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the frame compact for tight machinery spaces.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X60CA Is Used
Pallet Diverters
Uses the 628 N push force to redirect lightweight packaging pallets on a sorting line, relying on the CA clevis to absorb the angular load during arc deflection.
Bending Press Ejection
Ejects formed sheet metal brackets from a press bed, using the 60 mm stroke and tuned air cushions to prevent slamming under high cycle frequencies.
Hopper Gate Actuation
Opens and closes a pivoting discharge gate on a dry goods hopper, where the CA pivot accommodates the swing arc and the cushion protects the gate mechanism.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X60CA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 40 mm bore when your application requires roughly 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to the 32 mm bore provides 402 N of push force. If your load demands more power, stepping up to the 50 mm bore yields 981 N. The 60 mm stroke is ideal for short, rapid movements where the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh stopping.
The CA pivot back cover is specifically chosen for mechanisms that induce angular motion, preventing side-load binding. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, you cannot mount reed or electronic sensors for end-of-stroke detection; if position feedback is required, switch to an -S variant. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends and does not function as a brake; the rod will drift if air pressure is lost.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (LB / FA / SDB) and back cover (CA pivot / U flat-end).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X60CA FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/4 port and generates 628 N push / 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 880 N push / 739 N pull at 0.7 MPa. Its maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The cushion traps a pocket of exhaust air at the end of the stroke, which is vented through a screw-tunable needle. By adjusting this needle, you control the deceleration rate of the piston to protect the end covers from impact, unlike a fixed rubber bumper that cannot be tuned.
