The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X10SU Mini Cylinder | 63mm Bore 10mm Stroke is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 10mm 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 MBL63X10SU is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for short 10mm strokes in tight machine spaces. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it generates 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force, making it the highest output class in the MBL family. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the front and rear covers directly to the tube, yielding a lightweight footprint that is not designed to be disassembled like a standard tie-rod body.
This specific SKU features a U flat-end back cover for rigid fixed mounting and a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection. The magnet interfaces directly with AirTAC CMSG reed switches or DMSG and EMSG solid-state sensors. Inside, a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life, while the Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion screw.

Drives a 10 mm rapid stamping pin in a compact terminal block assembly line, utilizing the 1558 N push force to crimp copper contacts securely.
Acts as a rigid end stopper for pallets on a packaging conveyor, using the U flat-end rear cover for stable mounting while absorbing impact via the fixed rubber bumper.
Executes rapid 10 mm tucking motions on heavy corrugated carton flaps in a tight-space case erector, tracking cycle counts via a DMSG electronic sensor.
Selecting this 63 mm bore model makes sense when your application requires maximum thrust in a minimal envelope. If you need less force, stepping down to the 50 mm bore yields 981 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Since 63 mm is the largest MBL size, stepping up to a larger profile cylinder like the AirTAC SAI ISO 15552 line is required for higher loads. The short 10 mm stroke minimizes rod bending, but because the plain MBL cannot hold its position when air pressure is lost, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if gravity or drifting poses a hazard. Replacement attributes: 63 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, U back cover, and an -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force. 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, runs at 30-800 mm/s, and uses a G1/4 port.
No, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact and does not have an adjustable air cushion (you would need the MBLC variant for that). Additionally, the bumper is not a lock; the cylinder cannot hold a load or maintain its position if air pressure is dropped or exhausted.
