PB-series assortment of five slender mini pneumatic cylinders
PB SeriesProduct range reference · assortment

Seven series groups.
Different small-space formats.

Start with return action, body format and the available mounting space. Review the selected series for its own operating, stroke and port data.

Choose the format.
Confirm the return action.

Micro bodies, spring-return models and longer round-body cylinders solve different installation needs. Compare the complete variant before choosing bore and stroke.

Mini-cylinder construction and acting overview
Series groupFormat and actionWhat to confirm
PB Series Ultra-small body; acting and rod variantsBore-specific tube or M5 connection, return action and the available rod format.
MPE Series Short, single-acting micro bodyEmbedded MPE or end-inlet MPEF layout, return direction and short-stroke selection.
MI / MIC Series Narrow round body; multiple acting typesFull cushion and rod suffix. MIC variants use variable cushioning; other listed variants use bumpers.
MF Series Round body with pipe-port optionsRear mounting and rod clearance. The selected bore controls the port and stroke row.
MG / MGC Series Variable-cushion mini platformAvailable bore and rod variant. MG uses M5 at a 20 mm bore; confirm the port for the selected platform.
MA Series Alternative rear-cover and rod layoutsComplete code and mounting envelope. MAC, MACD, MACJ and MAR use variable cushioning.
MBL / MBLC Series Long-body miniature formatMBL or cushioned MBLC variant, stroke clearance, alignment and external guidance.

Single-acting variants have their own stroke and pressure limits. A listed long stroke does not establish allowable side load or bending capacity.

Series-specific
technical data.

Open a series for its operating conditions, configuration and stroke selection. Apply each row to its listed bore and complete variant; confirm the mounting drawing before ordering.

Small body.
Plan the full installation.

Check mounting access, rear-cover and rod-end clearance. Choose the return action and route the air connection outside the moving path.

AI concept of a small round-body cylinder mounted through a nose bracket and driving a separately guided positioning stop, with a clear blue airline
Mini-cylinder installation · AI-generated concept
New machine

Define the motion, load direction, return action and available space. Record any external guidance, required speed and position feedback.

Replacement

Record the full model, bore and stroke. Compare front and rear mounting, rod end, port thread and sensor details. Keep reference photos ready to share.

Start with the installation envelope
Use PB for ultra-small bores and MPE for very short single-acting motion. For larger mini-cylinder platforms, check body length, rear-cover layout and rod-end clearance together.
Choose acting type before stroke
A single-acting model uses a spring for the return direction and has its own stroke and pressure limits. Do not apply the double-acting stroke table to a spring-return model.
Specify the cushioning suffix
MI versus MIC, MF versus MFC, and MBL versus MBLC distinguish bumper and variable-cushion arrangements. MAC, MACD, MACJ and MAR also use variable cushioning. Match the complete code to the required end-stop behaviour.
Check the bore-specific port
The port changeover differs by platform. MG bore 20 uses M5, while MF bore 20 uses a pipe port. Fittings must follow the selected series table.

Check the details.
Prepare the requirement.

Common questions.

When is MPE preferable to PB?

MPE and MPEF are single-acting micro cylinders with a short-stroke selection. PB provides a wider mix of acting and rod variants. Choose by the required return action, stroke, bore and mounting space.

Does a cushion suffix change selection?

Yes. MIC and MFC identify variable-cushion configurations in their platforms. Other suffixes identify double rods, adjustable strokes or single-acting models, so the full code matters.

Can one port adapter be used across all mini cylinders?

Check each bore and series. A bore used with M5 in one platform may use a pipe port in another. Confirm thread form as well as nominal port size.

How should a long-stroke mini cylinder be supported?

Supply the load direction, alignment and available external guidance when selecting the stroke. The stroke table does not establish allowable side load or resistance to bending.

Bring the cylinder
details together.

Record the complete series and variant, return action, bore and stroke. Add mounting, rod end, port thread, cushioning and load guidance, then quantity and schedule.
