About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X60SCA
The AirTAC MBLC40X60SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact actuation where arcing movement is present. It yields 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. A 60 mm stroke hits a sweet spot for mid-travel tasks that need quick repositioning without taking up excessive machine footprint.
This SKU integrates a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to absorb angular rod misalignment, paired with a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor tracking. Unlike fixed-bumper designs, its screw-adjustable pneumatic cushions at both ends let you dial in end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the end covers on faster, heavier moves. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and tight, while the Ø16 carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist scoring under dynamic loads.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X60SCA Is Used
Packaging Flap Folder
Drives a hinged folding arm on a case erector where the CA clevis accommodates the linkage arc, while the cushion prevents hard slamming at 800 mm/s during 60 mm travel.
Sorter Diverter Gate
Pivots a routing flap on a high-speed logistics conveyor; the 628 N thrust handles package resistance, and the tunable cushion softens the 60 mm throw.
Pallet Strap Tensioner
Actuates a tensioning lever for pallet strapping tools, using the CA pivot to manage side-load geometry and the DMSG sensor to confirm strap engagement.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC40X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore outputs 628 N push and 528 N pull. If your application requires less force, the 32 mm bore neighbor provides 402 N push and 346 N pull. For heavier demands, the 50 mm bore steps up significantly to 981 N push and 881 N pull. The CA pivot clevis is the defining selection driver here: choose it over a rigid U flat-end cover when your linkage requires angular self-alignment during the stroke.
Select the MBLC over the base MBL when your cycle speeds or moved mass outgrow a fixed rubber bumper and require tunable end-of-stroke deceleration. Remember that the air cushion only slows the piston near the ends; it is not a brake. If you need to hold position without live air, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Replacement match: 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA back cover, with -S magnet.
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 MBLC40X60SCA FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/4 port and a Ø16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 rod-end thread. At 0.5 MPa it generates 628 N push and 528 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it outputs 880 N push, and the maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The CA back cover is a pivot clevis that swings on a pin to accommodate angular loads, preventing rod binding. The screw-adjustable air cushions at both ends let you tune the needle valve to match your load and speed, decelerating the piston smoothly near the 60 mm stroke ends to cut impact noise—this is a deceleration feature, not a load lock.
