Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X150
The AirTAC Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X150 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 150mm stroke. A rod exits both end covers, so extend and retract force are EQUAL — about 1458 N each way at 0.5 MPa. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).

About the Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X150
The AirTAC MBLCD63X150 is a compact double-acting twin-rod mini cylinder featuring an adjustable air cushion at both ends. Because a 16mm rod protrudes from each cover, the effective piston area is identical on both sides, yielding equal push and pull force of 1457N at 0.5 MPa. This 150mm stroke is well suited for moving heavier jigs or platens where symmetric velocity is required. The riveted aluminum barrel keeps weight down in tight machine cells.
Twin-rod architecture provides inherent anti-rotation resistance and lets you mount a cam or secondary flag on the rear rod while driving the primary tool on the front. Screw-tunable cushions decelerate the 297kgf class loads at stroke ends, absorbing kinetic energy to protect the end covers—something a fixed rubber bumper cannot match. Note this base SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors without a model change. Overall length equals A plus twice the stroke, so rear clearance is mandatory.
Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X150 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X150 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 150 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | G1/4 |
| Rod thread | M14×1.5 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Adjustable air cushion (both ends) |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 500 mm |
Double-rod overall length = A + 2 × stroke — leave clearance for the rear rod. MBLD/MBLCD mounting is Basic / FA / LB only (no SDB, no back-cover code). Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Output Force (Ø63mm, equal both ways)
| Pressure | Extend & retract force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 297 kgf |
A rod on both piston faces makes the annulus area equal, so extend and retract force (and speed) are the same. Actual usable force is lower due to friction.

Where the Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X150 Is Used
CNC Lathe Bar Feeder
Drives a pusher at 1457N to advance 3-meter steel bars into the spindle collet, using the rear rod to trip a mechanical length-stop flag.
Injection Mold Extractor
Extracts heavy 63mm bore plastic parts from mold cavities at equal extend and retract speeds, preventing suction-cup misalignment via anti-rotation twin rods.
Palletizer Diverter Arm
Shifts a routing flap at 2040N under 0.7 MPa to divert heavy corrugated cartons, using the adjustable cushion to halt the 150mm stroke smoothly.
Is the Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X150 the Right Cylinder?
Step down to the 50mm bore if your load requires less than 881N at 0.5 MPa, or step up from the 40mm bore (528N) if you need this 2040N at 0.7 MPa capacity. Choose this MBLCD over the MBLD when moving heavy masses at speed, as the adjustable cushion prevents end-cover slam that a fixed bumper cannot absorb. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot; there is no back-cover or SDB pivot option. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold position without live air—the cushion only decelerates near the ends and is not a lock. For a drop-in replacement, match the 63mm bore, 150mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and mounting style, then add -S if you require sensor tracking.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Equal force both ways at your pressure
- ✓ Rear-rod clearance (length = A + 2 × stroke)
- ✓ Mounting: Basic / FA / LB only
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — add a guide on long strokes
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Leave clearance for the rear rod (length = A + 2 × stroke).
- check Avoid side load; add an external guide on long strokes.
- check Mounting: Basic / FA flange / LB foot (no SDB, no back-cover code).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X150 FAQ
Because a rod exits both ends, force is equal in both directions: 1457N at 0.5 MPa and 2040N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum theoretical pull-side force is 297kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet (no -S code), so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches. You must specify an MBLCD63X150S model to enable solid-state or reed sensor tracking.
