About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X160SCA
The AirTAC MBLC63X160SCA is a double-acting, single-rod aluminum mini cylinder engineered for heavy-duty compact automation. It delivers a robust 1558 N push force and 1457 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, making this 63 mm bore variant the powerhouse of the MBL family. Driven by air filtered to 40 um, it operates smoothly across a 30-800 mm/s speed range. The 160 mm stroke provides substantial linear travel for deep indexing or lifting tasks.
This configuration features a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection. Unlike the base MBL which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this MBLC model utilizes a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both ends. You can tune the needle to decelerate the heavy 63 mm piston smoothly near each stroke end, actively cutting impact shock, noise, and vibration on faster cycles. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact and lightweight, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures long-lasting lubrication around the 20 um hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X160SCA Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides the 1558 N push force needed to eject dense plastic parts from injection molds, with the adjustable air cushion ensuring the heavy mold plate does not slam violently at the 160 mm stroke end.
Pallet Diversion Arms
Drives heavy pallet routing arms on packaging lines where the CA pivot accommodates the angular swing of the routing mechanism, while the cushion absorbs the momentum of shifting heavy loads.
PCB Stacking Lifts
Lifts stacked PCB trays into testing fixtures; the -S magnet works with DMSG solid-state sensors for exact position feedback, and the cushion prevents delicate electronics from bouncing during the 160 mm lift.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X160SCA the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the 63 mm bore is ideal when your application requires high thrust, such as 1558 N push at 0.5 MPa or up to 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. If you need less force and a smaller footprint, stepping down to the 50 mm bore yields 981 N push at 0.5 MPa; as 63 mm is the largest standard size in this series, there is no larger neighbour to step up to. Choose this MBLC over the base MBL when your mechanism moves a heavy mass or cycles at high frequency, as the tunable cushioning absorbs kinetic energy far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The CA pivot back cover swings on a pin, making it the correct choice for arcing or angular loads rather than rigid thrust. For exact replacements, match the 63 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, G1/4 port, M14x1.5 rod thread, PT thread form, CA pivot cover, and the -S magnet. Because the stroke is 160 mm, be mindful of rod bending; use an external guide or pivot to manage side-load tolerance.

- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (LB / FA / SDB) and back cover (CA pivot / U flat-end).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X160SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1558 N push force and 1457 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 2181 N, with a theoretical maximum of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/4 port, a Ø16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 rod-end thread, and a default PT tapered thread form.
The cushion is a screw-tunable pneumatic needle at both ends that traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke ends. It is not a lock or brake; it only dampens end-of-stroke impact. You tune it to match the load and speed, which protects the end covers and reduces noise on high-frequency cycles better than a fixed rubber bumper.
