Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X400
The AirTAC Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X400 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 400mm 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 MBLCD63X400
The AirTAC MBLCD63X400 is a compact double-acting twin-rod mini cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore and 400 mm stroke. Because a Ø16 mm piston rod protrudes from both end covers, the effective annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding equal force and speed in both directions. You get 1457 N of thrust each way at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 2040 N at 0.7 MPa. The riveted aluminum barrel houses a grease-retaining two-way piston seal, while the carbon-steel rod carries a 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear.
Unlike the base MBLD which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this model incorporates a screw-tunable adjustable air cushion at both ends. This mechanism lets you dial in end-of-stroke deceleration for heavy 400 mm twin-rod moves, preventing end-cover damage without acting as a mechanical lock. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. Overall length equals A plus 2 x stroke, meaning the rear rod requires substantial clearance to avoid collision.

| Model | Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X400 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 400 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 MBLCD63X400 Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Drives a 400 mm twin-rod ejection plate on a 200-ton injection molding machine, using the 1457 N bidirectional force to push and pull heavy plastic parts evenly out of the tool cavity.
Pallet Transfer Stopper
Acts as a dual-sided anti-rotation stop gate on a heavy-duty pallet conveyor, where the 400 mm stroke clears tall pallets and the adjustable cushion absorbs the 2040 N deceleration impact at 0.7 MPa.
CNC Lathe Bar Feeder
Pushes and retracts a 16 mm guide tube on a CNC lathe bar feeder, using the equal both-way speed to stabilize heavy stock over the 400 mm travel without rotational twist.
Is the Airtac MBLCD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLCD63X400 the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down from this 63 mm bore, the 50 mm variant provides 881 N at 0.5 MPa, which is insufficient if you need to maintain the 1457 N bidirectional thrust. There is no larger bore in the MBLCD mini range, making this the maximum force option. Choose this over the single-rod MBLC when you need a cam or secondary tool on the rear rod, or over the MBLD when your moving mass demands tunable cushioning rather than a fixed bumper. Mounting is strictly limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. Because this SKU has no -S suffix, it cannot support a position sensor. At 400 mm, the extended twin rods are highly susceptible to side-load bending—always use external linear guides to support the load. Direct drop-in replacements must match the 63 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G1/4 port, M14x1.5 rod thread, and PT thread form.
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 MBLCD63X400 FAQ
Because a rod exits both ends, the push and pull forces are identical. The MBLCD63X400 generates 1457 N at 0.5 MPa and 2040 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 297 kgf.
No. This specific MBLCD63X400 SKU lacks the built-in -S magnet, meaning CMSG reed switches or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors cannot detect rod position. You would need the MBLCD63X400S variant for position feedback.
