The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X450CA Mini Cylinder | 63mm Bore 450mm is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 450mm 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 MBL63X450CA is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder built for heavy-duty clamping in tight machine spaces. It generates 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it the highest output class in the MBL family. The 450 mm stroke provides extended reach for automated assembly and packaging tasks. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.
Unlike rigid flat-end rear mounts, this model features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing and angular loads. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light and compact, though it is not designed to be disassembled like a tie-rod cylinder. Inside, a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life, while the Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 um hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion.

Extends 450 mm to loop strapping around large palletized freight, using 1558 N of push force to maintain tension before seals are applied.
Swings on its CA clevis to follow the arc of a tilting mold platen, delivering 2181 N at 0.7 MPa to eject heavy plastic parts from tight tooling cavities.
Reaches across wide packaging lines to fold thick double-wall cardboard flaps, pulling with 1457 N to secure cartons before tape application.
At the top of the MBL range, the 63 mm bore delivers maximum thrust: 1558 N push and 1457 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force to save space and air, step down to the 50 mm bore (981 N push). There is no larger standard bore in this mini series; for even higher loads you would move out of the MBL line to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This SKU uses a G1/4 port, PT thread form, and an M14x1.5 rod-end thread.
The 450 mm stroke is substantial for a mini cylinder; the Ø16 mm rod has low side-load tolerance at full extension. The CA pivot back cover helps manage angular stresses, but for rigid linear guidance you should add an external guide rail or consider the MBLD double-rod anti-rotation type. Note that the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion—choose the MBLC variant if you need end-of-stroke speed damping for heavy moving masses. Finally, this cylinder will drift or drop if air pressure is lost; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be held safely without live pressure.
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 increases to 2181 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf when operating at the 1.0 MPa pressure limit.
No on both counts. This SKU lacks the -S suffix, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. It also uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact; for adjustable air cushioning, you must specify the MBLC variant.
