The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X225CA Mini Cylinder | 63mm Bore 225mm is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 225mm 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 MBL63X225CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered to deliver substantial thrust in confined machine spaces. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it provides 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force, making it the highest output option in the MBL family. This 225 mm stroke length is well suited for moving heavier jigs or executing long linear transitions without requiring a full-size ISO 15552 profile body.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads during operation. Internally, a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for extended cycle life, while the Ø16 mm carbon steel rod is protected by 20 um hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the overall footprint exceptionally light, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder. Because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensor switch for rod position detection.

Provides the 1558 N push force required to knock heavy stamped metal blanks out of a progressive die, utilizing the 225 mm stroke to clear the press bed entirely.
Leverages the CA pivot back cover to swing a heavy diverter arm across a conveyor line, safely absorbing the angular load as it redirects heavy pallets.
Uses the full 225 mm stroke to push loaded material carts into a workstation, taking advantage of the high 318 kgf maximum force to move substantial weights.
Selecting the MBL63X225CA is ideal when your application demands the maximum thrust available in the mini round body format, pushing 1558 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need slightly less force to save space, stepping down to the 50 mm bore yields 981 N of push force. As this is the largest standard MBL bore, there is no step up within this series; for even higher loads, an AirTAC SAI ISO 15552 profile cylinder would be required. The base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact rather than an adjustable air cushion; if your heavy 225 mm stroke demands precise end-of-stroke deceleration, consider the MBLC variant.
At a 225 mm stroke, the unsupported Ø16 mm piston rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. The CA pivot back cover on this model is highly advantageous here, as it allows the cylinder to articulate and relieve angular stress when paired with an SDB pivot bracket. Note that a plain MBL does not hold its position when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. If the load must be held without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The port size is G1/4 with a PT thread form.
Quick checklist
The MBL63X225CA delivers 1558 N push and 1457 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2181 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact absorption rather than an adjustable air cushion.
No, this specific SKU does not have the -S suffix, meaning it lacks a built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. If position detection is required, you must select an MBL63 variant with the -S magnet option.
