About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X400SU
The AirTAC MBLC63X400SU is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for heavy-duty compact automation. It delivers a robust 1558 N push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a Ø16 mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod with an M14x1.5 end thread. The 400 mm stroke provides substantial travel for packaging or transfer tasks while maintaining a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel that saves valuable machine space. The U suffix denotes a rigid flat-end rear cover for straightforward fixed mounting.
This model features a screw-adjustable pneumatic air cushion at both stroke ends, allowing you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration for heavy 318 kgf loads moving at high speeds. Unlike a fixed rubber bumper, this cushioning system decelerates the piston smoothly to protect the end covers, though it does not function as a load lock or brake. The built-in magnet (-S) supports AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor switches for precise position detection, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures long-term operational stability.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X400SU Is Used
Corrugated Box Erector
Deploys the 400 mm stroke to fold and seal large shipping cartons, using the 1558 N push force to overcome cardboard resistance while the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts during continuous cycling.
Injection Mold Ejection
Pushes heavy plastic parts out of molds on a 63 mm bore, relying on the DMSG electronic sensor for exact ejection confirmation and the tunable cushion to protect the tooling from high-speed kinetic energy.
Pallet Divider Insertion
Drives separating sheets between heavy product layers on a packaging line, where the rigid U flat-end mount handles axial loads and the 318 kgf maximum capacity handles dense palletized goods.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X400SU the Right Cylinder?
Select this 63 mm bore when your application requires significant thrust, generating 1558 N push and 1457 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to the 50 mm bore yields 981 N push, while stepping up is not possible as 63 mm is the largest standard MBL/MBLC size. Choose the MBLC over the base MBL when your mechanism cycles quickly or moves a heavy mass that would overwhelm a standard rubber bumper. The U flat-end cover provides rigid mounting; choose CA if your linkage requires a pivoting clevis. For position feedback, the -S magnet works with CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches.
At 400 mm of travel, the Ø16 mm rod is highly susceptible to side-loading and bending. To prevent premature seal failure, use an external guide rail, select a CA or SDB pivot mount to absorb angular misalignment, or switch to an MBLCD double-rod cylinder. Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder does not hold position if air pressure drops; add an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. Replacement parts must match the G1/4 port, PT thread, U cover, and S magnet.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ 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 MBLC63X400SU FAQ
This 63 mm bore cylinder uses a Ø16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 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 smoothly before it hits the end cover. You adjust it to match your specific load and speed, which reduces noise and impact wear. It only decelerates near the stroke ends and is not a brake or load lock.
