The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X100CA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm 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 MBLC63X100CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder equipped with a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends. Delivering a substantial 1558 N push force at 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore unit is built to move heavier masses through a 100 mm stroke. The CA pivot clevis back cover allows the body to swing on a pin, accommodating arcing loads without binding. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper found on the standard MBL series, the MBLC needle valve lets you dial in end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the end covers during high-frequency cycling. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the frame compact, while the Ø16 carbon-steel rod features a 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear. A heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains lubrication for consistent friction across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

Pushes heavy coil stock into a stamping press. The 1558 N force drives the load, while the CA pivot absorbs the slight arcing motion of the feed arm and the air cushion prevents end-cap slam at high speed.
Actuates a heavy diverter gate on a packaging conveyor. The 100 mm stroke moves the gate clear, and the tunable cushion decelerates the 63 mm bore smoothly to protect the pivot bracket during continuous cycling.
Clamps timber lids onto crates. The 2181 N push force at 0.7 MPa secures the wood firmly, while the cushion needle is adjusted to bring the heavy load to a gentle stop without cracking the end cover.
Choose this 63 mm bore when an application demands 1558 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less power, stepping down to the 50 mm bore yields 981 N of push force; stepping up is not possible as 63 mm is the largest standard MBL/MBLC size. Select the MBLC over the base MBL when your cycle speeds or moved masses outpace what a fixed rubber bumper can safely absorb. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends—it is not a locking mechanism, so the rod will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve centers.
For replacement, verify the 100 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread form, and CA pivot back cover. The Ø16 rod and M14x1.5 rod-end thread are fixed by the 63 mm bore. Since this 100 mm stroke is well under the 500 mm standard maximum, side-load stress is manageable, but the CA clevis is specifically beneficial here for absorbing angular rod misalignment on arcing moves.
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, push increases to 2181 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/4 port, a Ø16 rod, and an M14x1.5 rod-end thread.
No. Because the model code lacks the -S suffix, this specific SKU is manufactured without a built-in magnet and cannot host a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switch. You would need the MBLC63X100CAS variant to enable electronic or reed position detection.
