The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X60CA Mini Cylinder | 63mm Bore 60mm Stroke is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 60mm 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 MBL63X60CA is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered to deliver substantial thrust in tight machine envelopes. It generates 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making this 63 mm bore, 60 mm stroke unit ideal for driving heavy small-footprint clamps or actuators. The riveted rolling-packed barrel crimps the covers directly to the tube, ensuring a lightweight, compact body that is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod cylinder.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads during travel. Inside, a heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long service life, while the Ø16 mm carbon-steel piston rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance. Note that because this configuration lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch. The end-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Leverages the CA pivot back cover to swing a 60 mm stroke arm, using the 1558 N push force to seat heavy bearing races into housings on an automated press line.
Mounts inline along a tight packaging conveyor to push 318 kgf rated diversion gates, routing dense palletized goods without requiring a bulky ISO profile cylinder.
Provides high holding force against a moving cutter head in electronics manufacturing, where the compact riveted aluminum barrel fits within restricted router head clearances.
Selecting this 63 mm bore model makes sense when your application requires up to 1558 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force to prevent damaging delicate parts, step down to the 50 mm bore, which provides 981 N of push force. If you require even greater thrust, the 63 mm is the largest available standard bore in this mini series, so exceeding its 318 kgf maximum theoretical capacity at 1.0 MPa would require stepping up to a larger ISO 15552 profile cylinder. If your cycle speed demands adjustable end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a fixed rubber bumper, specify the MBLC variant instead.
Because this SKU uses a CA pivot back cover, it is specifically designed to swing on a pin, making it superior to the rigid U flat-end type for arcing load paths. Keep in mind that a plain MBL does not hold its position or load when air pressure is lost or exhausted; the rod will drift or drop. If your machine requires position holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve in the air line. Porting is G1/4 with a default PT tapered thread form, and standard mounting accessories include the SDB pivot bracket to match the CA cover.
Quick checklist
This 63 mm bore cylinder 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 operates at a speed range of 30-800 mm/s. The unit uses a G1/4 port and a Ø16 mm piston rod.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, meaning it has no internal magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact absorption. If you need adjustable air cushioning, you must specify the MBLC variant.
