About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X225CA
The AirTAC MBLC63X225CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for heavy-duty compact actuation, delivering 1558 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Driven by a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating, this 225 mm stroke unit is built around a riveted rolling-packed barrel that keeps the overall footprint tight while surviving rigorous pneumatic cycles. Because this SKU uses the CA pivot clevis back cover, it is designed to swing smoothly on a pin to accommodate arcing or angular loads without binding.
The defining feature of this model is the screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both stroke ends. Rather than slamming into a fixed rubber bumper, the needle valve lets you dial in the exact deceleration rate required for a fast or heavy 318 kgf payload, absorbing kinetic energy to protect the end covers and reduce vibration. Note that because this specific configuration lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches for rod-position detection.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X225CA Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Kicks heavy sheet metal blanks out of a progressive die using 1558 N of force, relying on the tuned air cushion to silently decelerate the 225 mm stroke before it shocks the press frame.
Pallet Diverting Arm
Swings on its CA pivot clevis to deflect heavy logistics pallets onto a secondary packaging line, absorbing the arcing load while the cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of the stop.
PCB Handler Lifting
Raises populated circuit board trays within an automated tester, using the 225 mm stroke to clear the processing deck while the adjustable cushion guarantees a soft, vibration-free landing.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X225CA the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the MBLC63X225CA makes sense when your application demands the maximum thrust available in this frame size, generating 1558 N push and 1457 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need to step down to reduce mass and air consumption, the neighboring 50 mm bore provides 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. As the largest standard bore in the series, there is no step up within the MBL family; moving beyond 318 kgf theoretical force at 1.0 MPa requires transitioning to a larger ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Choose this MBLC variant over the base MBL when your 225 mm stroke cycles rapidly with a heavy load, as the tunable cushion is essential for preventing end-of-stroke impact damage.
For replacement matching, verify the 63 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover. Because this stroke exceeds 300 mm, the 16 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads; you must use an external guide rail, leverage the CA clevis pivot for arcing motion, or switch to an MBLD double-rod cylinder to prevent premature seal failure. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends and is not a braking lock; the rod will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve centers.

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 MBLC63X225CA FAQ
This 63 mm bore cylinder uses a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod with an M14x1.5 rod-end thread and a G1/4 port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 1558 N push and 1457 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it provides 2181 N push and 2040 N pull. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The cushion is a screw-tunable needle valve at both ends that traps exhaust air to decelerate the piston, preventing end-cover impact on heavy moves. It is not a load lock. Additionally, this specific CA pivot SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.
