The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X60SU 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 MBLC50X60SU is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and 60mm stroke, delivering a push force of 981 N at 0.5 MPa. It utilizes a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both stroke ends rather than a fixed rubber bumper, allowing you to precisely tune the end-of-stroke deceleration. This protects the end covers from impact when moving heavier masses at high cycling frequencies. The U designation indicates a rigid flat-end back cover for straightforward mounting.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (S) for compatibility with AirTAC CMSG reed and DMSG or EMSG electronic sensor switches to detect piston position. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact for tight spaces, while the Ø16 carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear. A heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures consistent lubrication over the 30-800 mm/s operating speed range.

Drives a 60mm stroke to seat copper stator windings into motor housings, using the adjustable air cushion to prevent impact damage on heavy tooling.
Actuates a routing gate on a packaging conveyor, relying on the 981 N push force to move loaded pallets and the tunable cushion to soften end stops.
Lowers a test probe array onto printed circuit boards, using the built-in S magnet to trigger DMSG electronic sensors for precise height confirmation.
Select this 50mm bore when an application requires substantial thrust—981 N push and 881 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to the 40mm bore yields 628 N of push force. If you require more power, the 63mm bore provides 1558 N of push force at the same pressure. Choose this MBLC variant over the base MBL when cycle speeds are high enough that a fixed rubber bumper cannot adequately absorb the kinetic energy without causing excessive vibration or noise.
This specific configuration uses a G1/4 port, M14x1.5 rod thread, and default PT tapered thread form. It features the U flat-end back cover and includes the S magnet for position sensing. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends of the stroke; it is not a braking device. A plain double-acting cylinder cannot hold position if air pressure is lost or the valve centers, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe load holding.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 50mm bore cylinder provides 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
The cushion is a screw-tunable needle valve at both ends of the stroke. It traps a small amount of exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly before it hits the end cover, reducing noise and wear on high-speed moves. It does not lock the rod or hold position.
