The AirTAC AirTAC MBL63X80SU 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 MBL63X80SU is a compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered to deliver substantial force—1558 N push and 1457 N pull at 0.5 MPa—within a tight machine footprint. Driven by air filtered to 40 um, it operates smoothly across a 30-800 mm/s speed range. This specific SKU includes a U flat-end back cover for rigid fixed mounting and a built-in magnet (-S) for precise rod position detection using AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches.
Unlike heavy tie-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinders, this unit utilizes a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel that crimps the front and rear covers directly to the tube, prioritizing low weight and minimal envelope size. The carbon-steel piston rod features a 20 um hard-chrome plating for high wear resistance, paired with a heterogeneous two-way piston seal that actively retains grease for an extended operational lifespan.

Provides the robust 1558 N push force required to knock out dense plastic parts from injection mold tooling in confined machinery cells.
Actuates capping heads on high-speed beverage lines, using the 80 mm stroke and integrated magnet to confirm cap seating via DMSG sensors.
Applies targeted downward pressure for laminating multilayer printed circuit boards, relying on the rigid U back cover to maintain strict vertical alignment.
This 63 mm bore generates 1558 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less clamping pressure, stepping down to the 50 mm bore yields 981 N push, whereas moving up is impossible as 63 mm is the largest MBL size available. For high-velocity moves driving heavy payloads, consider the MBLC variant, which replaces the base MBL's fixed rubber bumper with an adjustable air cushion to soften end-of-stroke impacts.
Because the U flat-end rear cover provides a rigid mount, it does not accommodate arcing or angular side-loads; pair this cylinder with an FA flange or LB foot mount for strict linear guidance. Keep in mind that a plain MBL cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the rod will drift. To suspend a load safely without live pressure, install an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2181 N, with a maximum theoretical force of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/4 port, a Ø16 mm rod, and an M14x1.5 rod-end thread.
No, the base MBL63X80SU uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impacts, not an adjustable cushion screw. If your application requires adjustable air cushioning for heavier or faster moving loads, you must upgrade to the MBLC variant.
