The AirTAC Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X40SCA is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 40mm 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 MBLC63X40SCA is a double-acting, 63 mm bore aluminum mini cylinder engineered for demanding actuation. It yields 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Unlike the standard MBL, this variant integrates a screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both stroke ends. This allows you to fine-tune the end-of-stroke deceleration, preventing end-cover impact when moving heavy loads at high velocities.
The 40 mm stroke is optimal for short, high-force movements. The CA pivot back cover allows the body to swing on a pin, accommodating angular misalignment during arcing motions. A built-in magnet (-S) enables position detection via CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the frame compact, while the 20 µm hard-chrome plating on the carbon-steel rod defends against wear.

Drives short 40 mm knockout strokes for heavy plastic injection molds, using the 1558 N push force to break parts loose while the cushion prevents harsh stops.
Leverages the CA clevis mount to swing a heavy transfer arm across a conveyor line, absorbing the rotational inertia smoothly at stroke ends.
Applies precise 1457 N pull force to seat copper windings in electric motor stators, using the magnet for end-of-stroke confirmation.
This 63 mm bore generates 1558 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, step down to the 50 mm bore, which provides 981 N push. If you need more power, 63 mm is the largest available bore in this mini-cylinder family, offering a maximum theoretical output of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Choose this MBLC over the base MBL when your cycle speeds or moved mass exceed what a fixed rubber bumper can absorb.
The adjustable cushion needle decelerates the piston near the ends but does not lock the rod; if air pressure drops, the load will drift. For position holding without live air, utilize an external pilot-operated check valve. Replacement parts require a 63 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA clevis back cover, and an integrated magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1558 N push and 1457 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 2181 N, with a maximum theoretical output of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod with an M14x1.5 end thread and a G1/4 port.
The CA pivot back cover swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads, preventing rod binding. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a screw needle to tune end-of-stroke deceleration, reducing impact noise and vibration on heavy masses without acting as a mechanical brake.
