The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X100SU 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 MBL63X100SU is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for heavy-duty clamping in confined machine spaces. It generates 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it the most powerful option in the MBL family. The 100 mm stroke is ideal for high-force actuation tasks like pressing bearings or holding heavy fixtures. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the front and rear covers directly to the tube, yielding a lightweight footprint that cannot be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This SKU features a U flat-end back cover for rigid, fixed mounting and includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. The carbon steel piston rod is hard-chrome plated to 20 micrometers for high wear resistance, and the heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for a long service life. It uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable cushion.

Uses the 1558 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat heavy bearings into automotive transmission housings on a compact assembly line.
Secures thick printed circuit board panels during routing operations, utilizing the 100 mm stroke to accommodate varying material thicknesses.
Extends a heavy mechanical guide arm to shift loaded pallets between parallel conveyor belts in tight packaging machinery.
If 1558 N of push force at 0.5 MPa is more than your application requires, step down to the MBL50 bore, which provides 981 N of push force. If you need even faster cycle times with heavy loads, consider the MBLC variant, which replaces the fixed rubber bumper with an adjustable air cushion to regulate end-of-stroke speeds. Note that the standard MBL bumper only softens impact; it does not lock the rod. If the load must be held when air pressure is lost, install an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
For replacement matching, this cylinder has a 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread form, U flat-end back cover, and a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. The Ø16 mm piston rod operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s.
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, which is the upper operating pressure limit.
No, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impacts and cannot be adjusted. If your application requires adjustable end-of-stroke speed control, you must use the MBLC variant, which features an adjustable air cushion.
