The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X80CA Mini Cylinder | 63mm Bore 80mm Stroke is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 80mm 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 MBL63X80CA is a double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for high-force tasks in confined machinery spaces. Delivering 1558 N of push force at 0.5 MPa across its 80 mm stroke, it relies on a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads. This riveted rolling-packed body is lightweight and compact, yet because it is crimped rather than tie-rod assembled, it is built as a sealed unit rather than a rebuildable component.
Internally, the cylinder uses a heterogeneous two-way piston seal designed to retain grease for long service life, paired with a carbon-steel piston rod plated with 20 um of hard chrome to resist wear and corrosion. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed rubber bumper. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, meaning it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor switch.

Provides 1558 N of push force to eject small metal blanks from progressive stamping dies, utilizing the CA pivot to absorb angular rod deflection during the ejection arc.
Actuates a pivoting diverter arm on a logistics conveyor belt, where the 80 mm stroke rapidly redirects medium-weight parcels without occupying excessive frame width.
Functions as a heavy-duty stop gate in low-profile palletizing cells, using its 318 kgf maximum theoretical force to halt incoming pallets while the clevis mount accommodates side play.
Selecting this 63 mm bore model provides 1558 N push and 1457 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, step down to the 50 mm bore, which yields 981 N push at 0.5 MPa. For even heavier demands, the 63 mm is the largest standard MBL size, offering a maximum theoretical output of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. If your cycle speeds are high and the moving mass is substantial, consider the MBLC variant, which replaces the fixed rubber bumper with an adjustable air cushion for finer end-of-stroke deceleration.
The CA clevis back cover on this unit is essential for allowing the rod to pivot during arcing movements, pairing well with an SDB pivot bracket. Keep in mind that a plain MBL does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. Use an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock if position retention is required during an air loss or emergency stop.
Quick checklist
The MBL63X80CA generates a push force of 1558 N and a pull force of 1457 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2181 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf when operated at the 1.0 MPa pressure limit.
This specific SKU does not have the -S suffix, so it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch. Additionally, the base MBL uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact absorption. If you need adjustable air cushioning for heavier loads, you should upgrade to the MBLC variant.
