The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X50CA Mini Cylinder | 63mm Bore 50mm Stroke is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 50mm 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 MBL63X50CA is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for compact spaces requiring high force. It delivers a robust 1558 N push at 0.5 MPa, making this 63 mm bore, 50 mm stroke unit ideal for heavy-duty clamping in tight machine footprints. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the covers directly to the tube, ensuring a lightweight body that is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover, allowing the cylinder to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing and angular loads. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The carbon-steel piston rod is plated with 20 um of hard chrome to resist wear and corrosion.

Uses the 1558 N push force to knock small stamped metal parts out of a tight progressive die area where a larger profile cylinder would not fit.
Leverages the CA pivot back cover to swing a heavy diverter guide smoothly on a pin, routing dense pallets along a packaging line.
Provides rigid holding force for a printed circuit board routing fixture, utilizing the short 50 mm stroke to lock the composite panel in place.
Select the MBL63X50CA when your application demands the highest thrust in the MBL range but requires a short 50 mm stroke. If you need to step down, the 50 mm bore offers 981 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up is not possible as 63 mm is the largest MBL bore. For applications needing precise end-of-stroke deceleration at these high forces, consider the MBLC variant which offers adjustable air cushioning instead of the fixed rubber bumper.
Keep in mind the plain MBL does not hold its position or load when air pressure is lost or exhausted, as the rubber bumper only softens impact and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. If your setup requires the rod to stay put without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This SKU uses a G1/4 port, an M14x1.5 rod-end thread, PT port threading, and a CA pivot back cover.
Quick checklist
The 63 mm bore provides a push force of 1558 N and a pull force of 1457 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 2181 N, with a maximum theoretical force of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod with an M14x1.5 rod-end thread.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact absorption; for adjustable air cushioning, you must switch to the MBLC variant.
