Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X160
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X160 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X160
The AirTAC MBLD25X160 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and 160mm stroke. Because a Ø10mm rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on each side, yielding exactly 206N of force at 0.5MPa for both extension and retraction. This 160mm stroke is well-suited for intermediate-length indexing tasks where symmetric push-pull dynamics are required.
The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel houses a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal and a 20um hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod. Impact is managed by a fixed rubber bumper at the stroke ends. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. Overall length equals A plus 2x160mm, so you must leave clearance for the rear rod to protrude freely during operation.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X160 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X160 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 160 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| 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 (Ø25mm, equal both ways)
| Pressure | Extend & retract force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 42 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 MBLD25X160 Is Used
PCB Edge Conveyor Transfer
Drives a 160mm indexing shuttle on a PCB conveyor, using the twin-rod design to prevent chassis binding and deliver a balanced 206N transfer force.
Semiconductor Wafer Cassette Pusher
Pushes wafer cassettes out of a loading dock, relying on the equal 206N extend and retract force to smoothly reverse the load without speed ramping.
Textile Yarn Guide Rail
Shifts a yarn guide carriage 160mm across a knitting machine, using the protruding rear rod to mount a mechanical position flag for visual stroke verification.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X160 the Right Cylinder?
If 206N at 0.5MPa is too much or too little, step down to the 20mm bore (132N) or up to the 32mm bore (346N). The fixed rubber bumper on this base MBLD handles standard end-of-stroke impacts; for heavy loads requiring adjustable air cushioning, select the MBLCD variant. For applications needing only one-sided actuation, the single-rod MBL is lighter and shorter.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets—there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option for this double-rod body. A plain MBLD will drift and cannot hold position without live air; use an external locking device for static holding. When replacing this unit, match the 25mm bore, 160mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and non-magnet configuration.
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 MBLD25X160 FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force both ways: 206N at 0.5MPa, 289N at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical 42kgf at 1.0MPa. It operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0MPa.
A rod exits both ends, giving equal annulus area for identical push/pull force and allowing a cam or flag on the rear rod. Because this MBLD25X160 SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors.
