About the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC63X60
The AirTAC MGC63X60 is a double acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, fitted with a variable air cushion at both ends of travel. Unlike the bumper-style MG, this cushion is adjustable: turn the needle valve at each cover to meter the exhaust and decelerate the piston smoothly, so higher piston speeds and heavier moving loads can be stopped without hammering the covers. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 1557.9 N push and 1400.9 N pull, rising to 2181 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and piston speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
Construction follows the JIS mini-cylinder format: a SUS304 stainless barrel with front and back covers and a stainless block riveted and rolled onto it, plus a hard-chrome plated (20 um) carbon-steel rod of 20 mm diameter with M18x1.5 male thread. The two-way piston seal also stores lubricant, and ports are 1/4". Mounting is via FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available. Note that the cushion only decelerates the stroke end; it is not a lock or brake, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is recommended if the load must be held on air loss. This model carries no magnet, so position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches requires the optional -S code.

Where the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC63X60 Is Used
Case and carton press-down
The 1557.9 N push at 0.5 MPa seats flaps or presses cartons on packing lines, while the variable air cushion stops the ram gently at high cycle speeds.
Heavy product diverting
Pushes heavy packs or totes off a conveyor with 2181 N available at 0.7 MPa; the adjustable cushion prevents end-of-stroke shock on fast divert strokes.
Fixture clamping on machining stations
Clamps jigs and workpieces with up to 317.7 kgf theoretical force, and the cushioned stop protects the fixture when the clamp closes quickly.
Is the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC63X60 the Right Cylinder?
At 63 mm bore this is the largest MGC offered, so size down only if force allows: the 50 mm bore pushes 981.3 N at 0.5 MPa, the 40 mm bore 628.3 N, and the 20 mm bore 157.0 N. If your bore is 20-40 mm and you do not need adjustable deceleration, the bumper-type MG is the no-cushion alternative in those sizes. For this 63 mm model, a computed buyer insight: the 0.5 MPa push force of 1557.9 N equals about 158.8 kgf, so applying the usual 0.6 safety factor gives a safe working load of roughly 95 kg horizontal, or about 79 kg for vertical lift. Choose the -S suffix if you need CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic sensing, and specify FA flange or LB foot plus G or NPT thread if PT is not suitable. The 60 mm stroke is well inside the 500 mm standard range; strokes to 800 mm are made to order. On longer strokes, guide the load to keep side force off the hard-chrome rod.

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 Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC63X60 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1557.9 N and pulls 1400.9 N; at 0.7 MPa, 2181 N push and 1961.2 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
Yes, both ends have a variable air cushion: adjust the needle to decelerate the piston near end of travel, ideal for higher speeds and heavier loads. It is not a brake, though; the cylinder does not hold position on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.
