Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X350S
The AirTAC Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X350S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 350mm 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 MBLCD63X350S
The AirTAC MBLCD63X350S is a compact double-acting double-rod mini cylinder featuring a built-in magnet and an adjustable air cushion at both ends. Because a Ø16 mm rod exits both the front and rear covers, the effective piston area is identical in both directions, yielding an equal extend and retract thrust of 1457 N at 0.5 MPa (2040 N at 0.7 MPa). This 63 mm bore, 350 mm stroke configuration is tailored for heavy-duty sliding or lifting tasks where a single-rod actuator would suffer from rotational play.
The integrated -S magnet enables position detection via CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches. Unlike the base MBLD which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, the screw-tunable air cushion on this unit decelerates heavy 297 kgf loads near the stroke ends, protecting the riveted aluminum covers from impact damage. Note that overall length equals A plus twice the stroke, meaning the rear rod requires substantial clearance to avoid collision during the 350 mm travel.

| Model | Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X350S |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 350 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 MBLCD63X350S Is Used
Servo Press Slide
Drives a 350 mm slide in a servo press, using the 2040 N both-way force to move heavy stamping dies while the twin rod prevents torsional twisting.
Pallet Transfer
Shifts heavy machining pallets between stations, relying on the rear rod to trip a mechanical flag for sequencing while the cushion absorbs the 297 kgf kinetic energy.
Dual-Side Ejector
Ejects cast metal parts from a mold symmetrically, using the equal extend/retract speed to ensure the part drops without binding over the long stroke.
Is the Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X350S the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, stepping down to the 50 mm bore drops the both-way force to 881 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 63 mm is the largest available in this series, making it the prime choice for maximum twin-rod thrust. Choose this MBLCD variant over the single-rod MBLC when your mechanism needs dual-side guidance, anti-rotation stability, or a rear rod to mount a cam. Mounting is restricted to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. When replacing, match the 63 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, FA/LB mounting, and the -S magnet.
At 350 mm of travel, the unsupported twin rods are highly susceptible to side-load bending. To manage this, ensure the load is rigidly guided externally and avoid applying lateral moments to the rod ends. The adjustable cushion is strictly for end-of-stroke deceleration and does not lock the load; a separate external locking device is required to hold position without live air pressure.
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 MBLCD63X350S FAQ
Because the double-rod design has a rod on both sides, the push and pull forces are equal: 1457 N at 0.5 MPa, 2040 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 297 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The screw-tunable air cushion decelerates heavy loads at the end of the 350 mm stroke, preventing end-cover damage that a fixed rubber bumper cannot absorb. It only cushions; it does not lock the load.
