Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD20X60S
The AirTAC MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD20X60S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm 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.

About the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD20X60S
The AirTAC MBLD20X60S is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a through-rod design where an Ø8 mm carbon-steel rod exits both end covers. Because the piston has a rod on each side, the effective annulus area is identical in both directions, delivering an equal 132 N of force at 0.5 MPa on extend and retract. The 60 mm stroke suits short indexing moves, and the built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors to track position.
A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, while the riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining seal ensure stable friction. The rear rod protrusion allows you to mount a position flag or cam opposite the primary tool, providing inherent anti-rotation guidance for light loads. Overall length equals the base body plus twice the stroke, so rear clearance is required.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD20X60S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD20X60S |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø20 mm |
| Stroke | 60 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M8×1.25 |
| 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 | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 300 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 (Ø20mm, equal both ways)
| Pressure | Extend & retract force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 132 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 185 N |
| 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.

Where the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD20X60S Is Used
PCB Pick-and-Place
Drives a short 60 mm vertical pick stroke for electronic board assembly, using the equal 132 N force to lift delicate components without grip variation between up and down strokes.
Label Dispenser Cam
The rear rod end acts as a cam to trigger a mechanical label feed valve, ensuring the primary front tool and secondary mechanism stay perfectly synchronized.
Sensor Test Fixture
Pushes a small connector into a test socket with 185 N at 0.7 MPa, using the twin-rod geometry to keep the plug aligned and prevent binding during repetitive insertion.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD20X60S the Right Cylinder?
This 20 mm bore provides 132 N both ways at 0.5 MPa; step down if moving very light payloads, or step up to the 25 mm bore (206 N at 0.5 MPa) if you need more thrust. Unlike the single-rod MBL, this double-rod format gives identical push and pull forces, and unlike the MBLCD, it uses a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot—there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. A plain MBLD drifts without live air; the bumper softens impact but does not lock position. To replace this unit, match the 20 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and -S magnet.
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 MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD20X60S FAQ
Because a rod exits both ends, the push and pull forces are identical: 132 N at 0.5 MPa and 185 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 27 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The through-rod gives equal force and speed in both directions and allows a cam or position flag to be mounted on the rear rod. The -S code means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors.
