The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X225SCA 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 MBL63X225SCA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces where high thrust is still required. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it delivers a robust 1558 N push force and 1457 N pull force across its 225 mm stroke. As the largest bore in the MBL family, it pairs a 63 mm barrel with a G1/4 port and a Ø16 mm carbon steel rod plated with 20 μm hard chrome for superior wear resistance.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for non-contact position detection using AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG solid-state sensor switches. The CA pivot back cover allows the cylinder body to swing on a pin, making it ideal for arcing or angular load applications. Unlike tie-rod bodies, the MBL features a riveted rolling-packed construction that cannot be disassembled, and end-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.

Leverages the 1558 N push force and CA pivot back cover to swing a heavy spot-welding gun into position along an arc, absorbing angular misalignment in compact robotic cells.
Uses the 225 mm stroke to push heavy timber pallets off a high-speed main conveyor line, relying on the built-in magnet to confirm flap extension to the PLC.
Employs the 318 kgf maximum force capability to tilt loaded material carts, while the clevis mount accommodates the shifting center of gravity during the 225 mm rotation stroke.
Selecting the MBL63X225SCA gives you the maximum thrust available in this mini series (318 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa). If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 50 mm bore yields 981 N push at 0.5 MPa; as the largest standard bore, there is no larger MBL option, so for even higher loads you would transition to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder like the AirTAC SAI series. The CA clevis mount on this unit is essential for accommodating side loads during arcing motions, which is highly recommended given the 225 mm stroke length.
Because this model lacks an adjustable air cushion, heavier loads moving at high speeds may require the MBLC variant for end-of-stroke deceleration. Additionally, a plain MBL cannot hold its position if air pressure drops—the rod will drift. For vertical or suspended loads, install an external pilot-operated check valve. The exact replacement match is: 63 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread form, CA pivot back cover, and an -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1558 N push and 1457 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2181 N, with a theoretical maximum of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
No, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact and cannot be adjusted. If your application requires tunable deceleration for heavy moving masses, you should select the MBLC variant, which features an adjustable air cushion.
