The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X10SU is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 10mm 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 MBLC63X10SU is a double-acting, adjustable-air-cushion mini round cylinder engineered for high-impact, short-stroke tasks. It utilizes a 63 mm bore to generate 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The 10 mm stroke is ideal for high-force clamping or ejection within extremely tight spatial limits. Unlike the base MBL series, this variant incorporates a screw-tunable pneumatic cushion at both ends to smoothly decelerate the piston, minimizing end-cover impact and vibration.
This U back cover configuration provides a rigid, flat-end rear mounting surface for solid machine anchoring. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact and lightweight, while the Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod features a 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. The heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures consistent lubrication across the 30-800 mm/s speed range. Additionally, the built-in magnet (-S) enables direct position detection using AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches.

Ejects heavy stamped metal blanks from a 63 mm bore press die, using the 1558 N push force to break vacuum tension before the stripper plate returns.
Drives a 10 mm stroke core pull mechanism on a 200-ton injection molding machine, relying on the 1457 N pull force to retract the core before plastic injection.
Acts as a heavy-duty rigid stop gate on a pallet handling conveyor, absorbing the kinetic energy of incoming 50 kg aluminum pallets via the tuned air cushion.
At a 63 mm bore, this cylinder sits at the top of the MBLC standard range, delivering massive thrust for its compact footprint. If you need to step down, the 50 mm bore neighbor provides 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, which may suffice for lighter duties. Because this is the largest standard size, stepping up requires a custom or alternative series.
The adjustable air cushion is essential here because the 10 mm stroke cycles rapidly, and the sheer mass of the 63 mm piston demands smooth end-of-stroke deceleration to prevent housing fracture. Remember that the pneumatic cushion only decelerates near the ends; it is not a brake. A plain MBLC will not hold position if air pressure drops or the valve centers, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. This specific SKU uses a PT port thread, a U flat-end back cover, and includes the -S magnet for sensor tracking.
Quick checklist
This 63 mm bore cylinder generates 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2181 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
The cushion is a screw-tunable pneumatic needle at both ends of the stroke. You adjust the needle to match the load and speed, trapping a pocket of air to smoothly decelerate the piston before it strikes the end cover. This is critical for high-frequency 10 mm stroke operations, though it only decelerates and does not lock the load.
