The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X150CA Mini Cylinder | 63mm Bore 150mm Stroke is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 150mm 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 MBL63X150CA is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces where high force and arc-motion flexibility are required. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it generates 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force, making this 150 mm stroke unit suitable for heavy component shifting. The riveted rolling-packed barrel permanently crimps the covers to the tube, yielding a lightweight, compact body that is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder.
This SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate angular, arcing loads without binding. The carbon-steel piston rod has a 20 um hard-chrome plating for wear resistance, paired with a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease for a long service life. Because this specific configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion (for cushioning, see the MBLC variant).

Uses the 1558 N push force at 0.5 MPa to positively eject heavy metal blanks from a die set, while the CA clevis allows the rod end to swing slightly during the angled ejection arc.
Drives a pivoting diverter arm on a packaging conveyor to redirect heavy pallets, relying on the 150 mm stroke and the pivot back cover to maintain smooth angular motion without binding.
Pushes dense shipping cartons into a strapping machine where a larger ISO cylinder would not fit, utilizing the compact riveted aluminum body and 2181 N thrust at 0.7 MPa.
Choose this 63 mm bore when your application demands substantial thrust in a compact footprint. If you need less force to save space or air, step down to the 50 mm bore, which provides 981 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you require even greater power, note that 63 mm is the largest standard MBL bore, delivering a maximum theoretical output of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For single-acting push or pull needs in smaller 20-40 mm bores, consider the MSBL or MTBL variants.
When specifying a replacement, match the 63 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/4 port size, PT thread form, and the CA pivot back cover. Because this is a 150 mm stroke, side-load tolerance remains a concern due to the Ø16 mm rod; rely on the CA clevis to absorb angular alignment shifts. For longer strokes approaching 300 mm or more, add an external guide rail or switch to the MBLD double-rod cylinder to prevent rod-bearing bending. Remember that a plain MBL does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or exhausted—the rod will drift and drop, so fit an external pilot-operated check valve if load holding is required.
Quick checklist
This 63 mm bore cylinder delivers 1558 N push and 1457 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 2181 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum theoretical force 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 with an M14x1.5 rod-end thread.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, meaning no magnet is built-in and it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact absorption; if your application requires adjustable air cushioning for heavier moving masses, select the MBLC variant instead.
