The AirTAC Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD50X75 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 75mm stroke. A rod exits both end covers, so extend and retract force are EQUAL — about 881 N each way at 0.5 MPa. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCD50X75 is a compact double-acting double-rod mini cylinder featuring an adjustable air cushion at both ends. Because a Ø16 mm rod exits both covers, the annulus area is identical on each side, yielding exactly 881 N of force at 0.5 MPa in both extend and retract directions. The 75 mm stroke is ideal for mid-range transfer tasks requiring high bilateral thrust.
Twin rods provide inherent anti-rotation resistance and allow a cam or secondary tool to mount on the rear rod extension. The riveted aluminum barrel houses a grease-retaining piston seal, while the carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

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.

Drives a 75 mm dual-sided pusher arm to transfer PCB panels into an inspection station, using the equal 881 N thrust to maintain balanced pressure without rotating the tooling.
Actuates a traversing yarn guide where the rear rod simultaneously operates a mechanical flag, while the adjustable cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of rapid reversals.
Folds cardboard carton flaps simultaneously from both sides, leveraging the twin-rod anti-rotation property to keep the folding blades perfectly aligned under 1233 N at 0.7 MPa.
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore generates 881 N each way. If your payload is lighter, the 40 mm bore provides 528 N, whereas the larger 63 mm bore yields 1457 N for heavier loads. Choose this MBLCD over the base MBLD when your twin-rod cycle speeds require screw-tunable end-of-stroke deceleration to prevent end-cover damage. The cushion only dampens impact near stroke ends; it does not lock the rod, so external holding devices are needed if mid-stroke positioning must be maintained without live air.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot options; no back-cover or SDB pivot brackets exist for this series. Overall length equals the base dimension plus twice the stroke, meaning a rod protrudes from the rear, so you must leave appropriate clearance. Replacement requires matching the 50 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
Because the rod exits both ends, push and pull forces are equal: 881 N at 0.5 MPa, 1233 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 180 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end covers; it is not a lock, so the rod will drift if air pressure is removed.
No. This MBLCD50X75 SKU does not have a built-in magnet (no -S suffix), so it cannot trigger AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors. If you require position detection, select the MBLCD50X75S variant. The adjustable air cushion at both ends is screw-tunable to protect the end covers on heavier twin-rod moves.
