The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X60SCA 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 MBLC50X60SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for compact setups needing substantial force, delivering 981 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa. Its defining feature over the base MBL is a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both stroke ends. By tuning the needle, you smoothly decelerate the piston near the covers, cutting impact wear and noise on heavier or high-frequency 60 mm moves.
This SKU includes a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads, alongside a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body light, while the Ø16 carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist scoring. A heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures consistent lubrication across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

Uses the 981 N push force to knock small stamped metal parts out of a die, relying on the adjustable cushion to soften the 60 mm end-of-stroke impact during rapid cycling.
Leverages the CA pivot back cover to swing a diverter arm smoothly across a conveyor belt, absorbing the side-load arc while the magnet confirms arm position via a DMSG sensor.
Deploys a 60 mm stroke to tuck cardboard flaps on high-speed carton lines, where tuning the cushion needle prevents crushing the package at the stroke end.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application demands roughly 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa within a tight footprint. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N push force; if you need more power, the 63 mm bore provides 1558 N. Choose this MBLC variant over the fixed-bumper MBL specifically when cycling speeds are high enough that a rubber bumper would degrade prematurely.
The CA clevis mount is ideal for linkages requiring angular alignment, but remember the air cushion only decelerates near the ends—it will not hold the rod in place if air pressure drops. For position holding without live air, integrate an external rod lock. This exact replacement matches: 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot cover, and an -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 1374 N and pull to 1233 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at both ends traps a pocket of exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly before it hits the end cover. You adjust it to match the load and speed, which reduces vibration and noise; it functions only as an end-of-stroke damper, not a braking lock.
