The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X100CA Mini Cylinder | 63mm Bore 100mm is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm 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 MBL63X100CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered to deliver substantial thrust in confined machine spaces. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it generates 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force, making this 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke unit ideal for driving heavy clamps or lifting small platens. As a genuine AirTAC component, it relies on a riveted rolling-packed barrel where the front and back covers are crimped directly to the tube, ensuring a lightweight footprint that tie-rod designs cannot match in tight assemblies.
This specific SKU is configured with a CA pivot (clevis) back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing freely on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads during the stroke. It uses a fixed rubber bumper on the end caps to soften impact rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this model lacks the -S suffix for a built-in magnet, it cannot support a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch. The carbon-steel piston rod features 20 um hard-chrome plating for wear resistance, paired with a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for a long service life.

Pushing 20 kg pallets onto secondary packaging lines using the 1558 N thrust and 100 mm stroke, with the CA clevis absorbing lateral drift as the diverter arm arcs.
Stripping small plastic parts from mould halves where the 1457 N pull force retracts the ejector pin and the compact riveted body fits inside tight mold bases.
Halting descending corrugated cardboard cartons on a gravity roller conveyor, relying on the 318 kgf maximum theoretical force to brake heavy box inertia.
When sizing this 63 mm bore model, stepping down to the 50 mm bore yields 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not possible as 63 mm is the largest standard MBL diameter. If your application requires precise end-of-stroke deceleration for heavier moving masses, upgrade to the MBLC variant for its adjustable air cushion instead of relying on this fixed rubber bumper.
The CA clevis mount on this unit is essential for safely absorbing angular misalignment, but a plain MBL cannot hold a load in place if air pressure is lost or exhausted. The rod will drift or drop without live pressure, so incorporate an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock if position holding is critical to your safety circuit.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 1558 N and the pull force is 1457 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 2181 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impact; it is not an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches for position detection.
