The AirTAC MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD20X200S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 200mm stroke. A rod exits both end covers, so extend and retract force are EQUAL — about 132 N each way at 0.5 MPa. Fixed rubber bumper.
The AirTAC MBLD20X200S is a compact double-acting double-rod aluminum mini cylinder. Because a rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding exactly 132 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. This 200 mm stroke is ideal for routing parts across a 20 mm bore class machine where you need symmetrical push-pull dynamics without a larger footprint.
The built-in magnet (-S) lets you track position with AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG solid-state switches. The 8 mm carbon-steel rod is hard-chrome plated and sealed by a grease-retaining piston. It uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact, and its riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body light for tight spaces.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 27 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.

Uses the 132 N equal push-pull force to symmetrically route populated PCB panels on a SMT line without snapping delicate components.
Drives a yarn thread guide back and forth, using the rear rod end to mount a physical position flag for a reed switch.
Pushes rejected microchips out of a testing jig into a reject bin, relying on the compact 20 mm bore to fit between test heads.
If 132 N is too light, step up to the 25 mm bore for 206 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need less travel, drop to the 150 mm stroke. The MBLD20X200S uses a G1/8 port and PT (tapered) thread. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets—there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option for this double-rod type.
At 200 mm stroke, the 8 mm rod protrudes significantly from both ends, requiring rear clearance. Even with twin rods for anti-rotation, long strokes need an external guide to prevent rod bending under side loads. A plain MBLD does not hold position without live air—the bumper only absorbs impact, it does not lock the piston.
Quick checklist
Because the 8 mm rod occupies both sides of the piston, extend and retract forces are equal. It delivers 132 N at 0.5 MPa, 185 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 27 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A single-rod MBL has higher push force than pull force due to the rod displacing piston area. The MBLD20X200S equalizes this, and its rear protruding rod lets you mount a cam or position flag on the back side while the -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor tracking.
