About the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X500SCA
The AirTAC MBLC63X500SCA is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 500mm stroke, generating 1558N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG reed and DMSG or EMSG electronic sensor switches for precise end-position detection. A screw-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends decelerates the piston smoothly near stroke limits, which is critical for managing the momentum of heavy loads traveling over a half-meter distance.
This unit uses a CA pivot clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin, accommodating arcing loads rather than binding rigidly. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact, while the Ø16 carbon-steel rod with 20µm hard-chrome plating resists wear. A heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains lubrication for the 30-800mm/s speed range across continuous cycles.

Where the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X500SCA Is Used
Automated Welding Arm
Drives a 500mm pivot stroke for a robotic welding torch fixture, using the CA clevis to absorb angular alignment while the air cushion prevents jarring end-stop impact.
Pallet Transfer Pusher
Moves heavy workpiece pallets along a conveyor line, relying on 1558N of thrust and the tunable cushion to decelerate 318kgf loads safely at 0.5MPa.
Vertical Lift Gate
Actuates a 500mm materials handling lift gate where the DMSG electronic sensor confirms full extension and the cushion protects the assembly from gravity-induced slam.
Is the Airtac MBLC Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MBLC63X500SCA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 63mm bore when you need 1558N push at 0.5 MPa over a long 500mm span. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 50mm bore yields 981N push. Stepping up is not possible as 63mm is the largest MBL size, delivering a maximum theoretical 318kgf at 1.0MPa. Choose this MBLC variant over the base MBL when high speed or heavy mass would overwhelm a fixed rubber bumper. The adjustable needle lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the end covers.
At 500mm of stroke, the Ø16 rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. The CA pivot clevis helps by allowing angular movement, but you should still use an external guide rail or consider the MBLD double-rod type to prevent rod deflection. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it is not a brake and will not hold the load if air pressure drops. For position holding without live air, install an external rod lock. This SKU uses a G1/4 port with PT threads and an M14x1.5 rod end.

- ✓ 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 MBLC63X500SCA FAQ
This 63mm bore cylinder uses a G1/4 port and delivers 1558N push and 1457N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, it outputs 2181N push and 2040N pull. The maximum theoretical force is 318kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The CA clevis allows the cylinder to swing on a pin, preventing side-load binding during 500mm arcing movements. The adjustable air cushion at both ends is screw-tuned to decelerate the piston smoothly, protecting the end covers from impact damage on heavy loads. It functions only as an end-of-stroke damper, not a holding brake.
