The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X100SCA 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 MBL63X100SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces where high thrust is still required. It delivers a robust 1558 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 2181 N at 0.7 MPa, making this 63mm bore, 100mm stroke configuration well-suited for driving heavy jigs or performing high-force pressing operations. As the largest bore in the MBL family, it provides exceptional power without stepping up to a bulky ISO 15552 profile body.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that allows the cylinder body to swing freely on a pin, accommodating arcing or angular load paths. It includes a built-in magnet (-S) for non-contact position detection using AirTAC CMSG (reed), DMSG, or EMSG (solid-state electronic) sensor switches. Inside, a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life, while the Ø16 mm carbon-steel piston rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the overall footprint and weight to an absolute minimum.

Utilizes the 1558 N push force at 0.5 MPa to eject heavy metal blanks from progressive stamping dies, where the CA pivot bracket accommodates the mechanical arc of the unloading arm.
Drives a heavy-duty diverter mechanism on a packaging conveyor, swinging the 100mm stroke to redirect loaded pallets while the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG compatible magnet confirms the extended pivot position.
Applies 1457 N of pull force to fold thick, double-walled corrugated carton flaps on a case erector, relying on the CA clevis to manage the off-center load as the flap closes.
At 0.5 MPa, this 63mm bore generates 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 50mm bore yields 981 N of push force, saving space and air consumption. Because 63mm is the largest available MBL bore, moving up in power requires transitioning entirely to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder line like the AirTAC SAI series. The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts; for faster cycling or heavier moving masses, select the MBLC variant which adds an adjustable air cushion. For single-acting push or pull needs, consider the MSBL or MTBL variants (available in 20-40mm bores).
This model's CA pivot back cover is specifically designed to handle angular loads by swinging on a pin, which is highly recommended over the rigid U flat-end cover when the driven part follows a curved path. Because the MBL relies on live air pressure to hold its position, the rod will drift or drop if air is lost, exhausted, or the valve is centered—the rubber bumper is not a locking mechanism. For safety-critical hold-down applications, pair this cylinder with an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The standard PT tapered port thread matches the G1/4 port size fixed for this 63mm bore.
Quick checklist
This 63mm bore cylinder provides 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2181 N, with a theoretical maximum of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
The base MBL63X100SCA uses a fixed rubber bumper at the end of the stroke to absorb impact energy; it cannot be adjusted. If your application involves heavy moving masses or requires faster cycle times that overwhelm the rubber bumper, you should select the MBLC variant, which features an adjustable air cushion for fine-tuning end-of-stroke deceleration.
