About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X160SU
The AirTAC MBLC63X160SU is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore and 160 mm stroke. It generates 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it robust enough for moving heavy masses in tight machinery layouts. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact and lightweight, while the 20 µm hard-chrome plating on the carbon-steel rod defends against wear. This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches, and a U flat-end back cover for rigid mounting.
The defining feature of this unit is the screw-adjustable air cushion at both ends. Unlike a fixed rubber bumper, the pneumatic needle decelerates the piston smoothly near each stroke end, cutting impact shock and noise on fast or high-frequency cycles. The heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures consistent lubrication across the 30-800 mm/s speed range. Note that this cushion only governs end-of-stroke speed; it is not a mechanical lock and will not hold the rod in place if air pressure drops or the valve centers.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X160SU Is Used
Injection Mold Extraction
Provides 1558 N of push at 0.5 MPa to positively eject dense plastic parts from tight mold cavities, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 160 mm stroke gently without cracking the molded component.
Pallet Diverting Arms
Drives heavy diverter arms on packaging conveyors where the 318 kgf maximum force handles dense loads, while the tunable air cushion silences the repetitive end-of-stroke impacts during continuous operation.
Press Brake Tooling
Positions heavy press brake backgauges rapidly, relying on the DMSG electronic sensor to confirm the 160 mm stroke position and the pneumatic cushion to protect the gauge frame from shock at high speeds.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X160SU the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down in bore size, the 50 mm neighbor provides 981 N of push at 0.5 MPa, which is better for lighter payloads. If you need even more force, this 63 mm bore is the largest in the mini range, delivering a maximum theoretical output of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Choose this MBLC cushioned version over the base MBL when your application runs at high speeds or cycles frequently, as the tunable cushion protects the end covers from impact damage that a fixed bumper cannot absorb.
For replacements, match the 63 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, G1/4 port, M14x1.5 rod thread, PT thread form, U flat-end back cover, and the -S built-in magnet. Because the stroke is 160 mm, the 16 mm rod is subject to bending under lateral stress; use an external guide rail, a CA or SDB pivot bracket to accommodate arcing loads, or switch to an MBLD double-rod cylinder to prevent rod deflection.

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 MBLC63X160SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 1558 N and the pull force is 1457 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 2181 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range for this 63 mm bore cylinder is 30-800 mm/s.
A screw-tunable pneumatic needle at both ends traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke limits. You set the needle to match your load and speed, which minimizes end-cover impact and vibration. It only controls end-of-stroke deceleration; it is not a load lock and cannot hold position without live air pressure.
