The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X100U 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 MBL63X100U is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder built for high-force tasks in tight machine footprints. It delivers a robust 1558 N push and 1457 N pull at 0.5 MPa, making this 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke unit ideal for moving heavier small-to-medium assemblies. The U flat-end back cover provides a rigid, fixed rear mounting face for straight-line thrust.
Unlike tie-rod bodies, the MBL features a riveted rolling-packed barrel where the covers are crimped to the tube, yielding a lighter, compact profile that is not designed to be disassembled. Internal longevity relies on a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease, paired with a carbon-steel rod plated with 20 μm hard chrome to resist wear. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot support a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Related variants: MBLC (adjustable cushion), MBLD (double rod), MBLJ (adjustable stroke), MSBL/MTBL (single acting).
Provides the 1558 N push force required to knock out dense plastic injection-molded parts from tight tooling cavities where larger ISO profile cylinders cannot fit.
Drives a rigid diverting gate on a 100 mm stroke to re-route heavier boxes on a compact packaging conveyor, utilizing the fixed U flat-end rear for straight-line stability.
Applies controlled downward pressure for printed circuit board bed-of-nails testing, relying on the 20 μm chrome-plated rod for smooth, repeatable travel.
This 63 mm bore provides the highest standard thrust in the MBL range. If you need less force to save space, step down to the 50 mm bore (981 N push @0.5 MPa); as 63 mm is the largest mini size available, there is no larger MBL neighbour. For applications requiring end-position energy absorption beyond the fixed rubber bumper, select the MBLC variant for its adjustable air cushion. If you need single-acting spring extension or retraction, consider the MSBL or MTBL (available in 20-40 mm bores).
This cylinder uses a G1/4 port, an M14x1.5 rod-end thread, and PT tapered port threads. Note that the fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact but does not lock the rod—if air pressure drops, the rod drifts. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold suspended loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1558 N push and 1457 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 2181 N, with a theoretical maximum of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
No. The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion (for that, choose the MBLC variant). Additionally, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic position switches.
