The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X30CA Mini Cylinder | 63mm Bore 30mm Stroke is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 30mm 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 MBL63X30CA is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. At 0.5 MPa, it generates 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force, making this 30 mm stroke unit ideal for heavy-duty short-travel clamping or ejection tasks. The riveted rolling-packed barrel permanently crimps the front and rear covers to the extruded tube, yielding a lightweight body that is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This specific configuration includes a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing freely on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no built-in magnet and cannot support a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, which is perfectly adequate for the short 30 mm stroke but cannot hold a load if air pressure drops.

Uses the 1558 N push force at 0.5 MPa to knock stamped metal parts out of a die, where the 30 mm short stroke keeps the mechanism clear of the press ram.
Leverages the CA pivot back cover to swing a heavy diverter arm across a packaging conveyor, safely absorbing angular side loads during the arc.
Secures PCB panels inside an electronics routing cell, utilizing the 30 mm stroke to lock the board rapidly before the high-speed spindle descends.
Selecting the MBL63X30CA means you need maximum thrust in a minimal footprint. If you need less force, stepping down to the 50 mm bore yields 981 N of push at 0.5 MPa. As the largest standard MBL bore, there is no larger size up in this mini range; for even higher forces, an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would be required. Choose the MBLC variant if your cycle speed demands adjustable air cushioning, or the MSBL/MTBL single-acting versions if you only need spring-return actuation.
Since the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper rather than a locking mechanism, the rod will drift and drop if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. For safety against falling loads, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This CA clevis model is designed to pivot, so pair it with an SDB pivot bracket or appropriate clevis pin for optimal angular load handling.
Quick checklist
The 63 mm bore provides 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 G1/4 port with a PT tapered thread form.
No, this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches cannot be fitted. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact; you must upgrade to the MBLC variant to get adjustable air cushioning.
