The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X60U Mini Cylinder | 63mm Bore 60mm 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 MBL63X60U is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered to deliver substantial thrust in tight machine spaces. It provides 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 moving heavy small-scale assemblies. The U suffix denotes a rigid flat-end rear cover, providing a solid fixed mounting point for straightforward linear push applications.
Unlike tie-rod bodies that can be unbolted for maintenance, this unit utilizes a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel that permanently crimps the covers to the tube, ensuring a light, compact profile. Internal longevity is handled by a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that retains grease, while the Ø16 mm carbon steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear resistance. Please note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so no CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic sensor switch can be fitted for position detection.

Provides 1558 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to eject dense plastic parts from tight injection molding tooling spaces where larger ISO cylinders cannot fit.
Uses its 60 mm stroke and 318 kgf maximum theoretical force to drive heavy cardboard cartons onto secondary packaging lines at high cycling speeds.
Applies controlled 1457 N pull force to seat electronic connectors into printed circuit boards within compact, high-density assembly machinery.
If your payload requires less force, stepping down to the 50 mm bore yields 981 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up is not an option as 63 mm is the largest standard MBL size. Because this base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, choose the MBLC variant if your 60 mm stroke cycles heavy masses rapidly and require end-of-stroke impact tuning. Additionally, the MBL63X60U does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or exhausted; the rod will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if gravity or external forces require position holding.
For replacement matching, verify the 63 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/4 port size, default PT tapered thread, and the rigid U flat-end back cover. This configuration is optimal for direct fixed mounting, though an LB foot or FA flange bracket can be added to suit your frame layout.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 1558 N and pulls with 1457 N. At 0.7 MPa the push force reaches 2181 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa, operating within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.
No, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact, not an adjustable air cushion (for that, select the MBLC variant). Also, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, a CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensor cannot be installed.
