About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X60SU
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.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X60SU Is Used
Stator Winding Press
Drives a 60mm stroke to seat copper stator windings into motor housings, using the adjustable air cushion to prevent impact damage on heavy tooling.
Pallet Diverter Gate
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.
PCB Test Fixture
Lowers a test probe array onto printed circuit boards, using the built-in S magnet to trigger DMSG electronic sensors for precise height confirmation.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC50X60SU the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 MBLC50X60SU FAQ
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.
