The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X100S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm stroke. A rod exits both end covers, so extend and retract force are EQUAL — about 206 N each way at 0.5 MPa. Fixed rubber bumper.
The AirTAC MBLD25X100S is a double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and 100mm stroke. Because a Ø10mm rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on each side, yielding exactly 206N of force at 0.5 MPa in both extend and retract directions. The built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches to track piston position for end-of-stroke confirmation.
This 100mm travel version suits compact transfer and gating tasks needing symmetrical dynamics. The riveted aluminum barrel houses a grease-retaining two-way piston seal, while the carbon-steel rod features 20µm hard-chrome plating to resist wear. End impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper. Remember that overall length equals the body plus twice the stroke, so you must leave rear-rod clearance for the protruding shaft to avoid collision.

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 lightweight routing flap on a printed circuit board conveyor, using the 100mm stroke to shift panels between lanes while the rear rod mounts a physical position flag for a local limit sensor.
Reciprocates a yarn guide eyelet across a winding drum. The equal 206N force both ways ensures consistent tension on the bidirectional traverse without speed drift.
Pushes a rectangular connector into a socket on an electronics assembly line. The twin-rod anti-rotation keeps the insertion tool perfectly square during the 100mm travel.
Choose this 25mm bore when you need 206N both ways; step down to the 20mm bore for 132N, or up to the 32mm bore for 346N at 0.5 MPa. The -S code means a magnet is fitted for sensor switches; a blank code means no magnet can be used. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot—there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. For exact replacements, match the 25mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/8 PT thread, and magnet status.
The fixed rubber bumper softens end stops but does not lock the rod—unported, the cylinder drifts, so use an external locking device if you must hold position against a load. At 100mm stroke, the twin rods guide light loads against rotation, but external guides are still recommended for offset masses.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both ends, the effective area is identical in both directions. The force is equal for extend and retract: 206N at 0.5 MPa, 289N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A single-rod MBL has a larger push force than pull force due to the rod displacing piston area on one side. The MBLD double-rod makes these forces equal, and the rear protruding shaft can be used to mount a cam, a secondary tool, or a position flag.
