About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X500CA
The AirTAC MBLC63X500CA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a screw-tunable pneumatic cushion at both ends. It delivers a robust 1558 N push force at 0.5 MPa (1457 N pull) across a 500 mm stroke. The CA pivot clevis back cover accommodates arcing loads by swinging on a pin, which is critical for managing angular momentum on long strokes. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact and lightweight, avoiding the bulk of a rebuildable tie-rod design.
This configuration uses a Ø16 carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating and a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston smoothly near stroke ends, protecting the end covers from impact on heavy moves—it is a speed controller, not a load lock.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X500CA Is Used
Automotive Welding Jigs
Articulates heavy welding fixtures along a 500 mm stroke, using the CA clevis to absorb chassis misalignment while the air cushion halts the 1558 N push force smoothly.
Pallet Transfer Pushers
Shunts heavy pallets between roller conveyors; the 500 mm stroke and tunable cushion prevent end-cap shock on high-speed indexing lines.
Textile Beam Lifting
Lifts and lowers heavy textile warp beams into looms, relying on the pivot pin to handle slight angular loads during the 500 mm vertical travel.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X500CA the Right Cylinder?
At 500 mm stroke, the Ø16 rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. To manage this, the CA pivot bracket allows the cylinder to articulate, and you should add an external guide or consider the MBLD double-rod type to prevent rod damage. If you need less force, step down to the 50 mm bore (981 N push @0.5 MPa). If you need more power, the 63 mm bore is the largest in this mini range, delivering 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Choose the MBLC over the base MBL when cycling fast or moving heavy masses, as the fixed rubber bumper in the MBL cannot absorb the kinetic energy this bore generates. Replacement match: bore 63, stroke 500, port G1/4, rod thread M14x1.5, PT thread, CA pivot cover, no magnet.

- ✓ 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 MBLC63X500CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it pushes with 1558 N and pulls with 1457 N. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 2181 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A screw-tunable needle at both ends restricts exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke limits. You tune it to match the load and speed, cutting impact and vibration. It only decelerates near the ends and does not lock or hold the load without live air.
