The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X150U Mini Cylinder | 63mm Bore 150mm 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 MBL63X150U is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces where high force is still required. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it provides 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force, making it suitable for moving heavier jigs or clamping substantial masses across a 150 mm stroke. The U suffix denotes a rigid flat-end rear cover for straightforward fixed mounting.
This model features a riveted rolling-packed barrel where the covers are crimped directly to the tube, yielding a lightweight, compact profile that is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accommodate a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch.

Provides the 1558 N push force required to break heavy plastic parts from an injection mold tool before the main robotic extractor enters the tight machine cell.
Actuates a heavy steel diverter gate on a packaging conveyor, using its 150 mm stroke to shift loaded pallets onto a secondary routing track.
Applies high downward clamping pressure on a printed circuit board test fixture, holding thick test beds securely without live pressure via an external check valve.
As the largest bore in the MBL series, there is no larger step-up within this mini line; if you need more than 1558 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder is advised. Stepping down to the 50 mm bore yields 981 N of push force, offering a lighter, smaller footprint if your load permits. If your application requires end-of-stroke velocity control for heavier moving masses, consider the MBLC variant which features an adjustable air cushion instead of the fixed rubber bumper.
Because this cylinder uses a Ø16 mm piston rod extending 150 mm, it has limited tolerance for side loads. If your mechanism imposes lateral forces, guide the load externally or pivot the cylinder using an SDB bracket and a CA back cover. Note that the fixed rubber bumper only softens impact; it does not hold the load. If the rod must remain locked during air pressure loss, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Replacement matches: 63 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, U flat-end back cover, no magnet.
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. It operates on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
This specific MBL63X150U SKU lacks the -S suffix, meaning it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch. Additionally, it uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impacts. If you need adjustable air cushioning, you must select the MBLC variant.
