The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X60SU 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 MBL63X60SU is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for tight machine spaces. At its core, the riveted rolling-packed barrel permanently crimps the front and rear covers to the tube, yielding a lightweight body that is not designed to be disassembled like a traditional tie-rod cylinder. Delivering a robust 1558 N push force at 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore unit is built for heavy-duty small-part actuation. The 60 mm stroke suits short clamping and ejection movements. This specific SKU includes the U flat-end back cover for rigid fixed mounting and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing.
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 to resist wear and corrosion. The integrated magnet allows you to track rod position using an AirTAC CMSG reed switch or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensor. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, which softens impact but does not lock the rod in place if air pressure is lost.

Provides 1558 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to positively eject dense plastic parts from tight mold cavities, using the 60 mm stroke for a rapid, short knockout cycle.
Acts as a heavy-duty stop block in compact conveyor lines, using its rigid U flat-end mount to halt 63 mm bore-class loads without rear pivot deflection.
Uses the built-in magnet with a DMSG electronic switch to confirm a 60 mm press stroke completion, ensuring a 16 mm chrome rod repeatedly seats bearings accurately.
If you need to step down from this 63 mm bore, the 50 mm variant provides 981 N push force at 0.5 MPa, offering a lighter footprint for lower-force tasks. Stepping up is not possible as 63 mm is the largest MBL bore, so for even higher loads you would need to transition to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. For applications requiring faster cycle speeds or heavier moving masses, consider the MBLC variant, which replaces the fixed rubber bumper with an adjustable air cushion.
This U-type flat-end back cover provides a rigid rear mount, ideal for straight-line push applications rather than arcing or angular loads. Because a plain MBL does not hold its position when air pressure is exhausted or a valve is centered, you must use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if gravity or load drift is a concern. The -S magnet enables precise end-of-stroke detection via CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Replacement matching requires a 63 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, U back cover, and a built-in magnet.
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 at 1.0 MPa.
No, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact. If you need adjustable air cushioning to handle heavier moving masses at higher speeds, you should select the MBLC variant instead.
