Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X160S
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X160S 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 MBLD25X160S
The AirTAC MBLD25X160S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder. A Ø10 mm carbon-steel rod exits both end covers, yielding identical extend and retract forces of 206 N at 0.5 MPa. The built-in magnet (-S) enables position detection. Its 160 mm stroke suits mid-range transfer tasks. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensure stable friction.
Because the piston area is annular on both sides, push and pull forces match exactly. The rear rod protrusion allows mounting a position flag or secondary cam, while the twin rods provide better anti-rotation resistance than a single rod. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X160S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X160S |
|---|---|
| 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 MBLD25X160S Is Used
PCB Stacking Pin Lift
Lifts 160 mm to align PCB layers during assembly, using the rear rod to trigger a reed CMSG sensor for exact height confirmation.
Dual-Side Film Splicer
Drives a film clamp with 206 N of equal force both ways, keeping web tension perfectly balanced during splicing.
Tester Contact Head
Applies 289 N at 0.7 MPa to seat test probes onto semiconductor packages, using the twin rods to prevent chassis rotation.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X160S the Right Cylinder?
If 206 N is insufficient, step up to the 32 mm bore (346 N at 0.5 MPa). If you need less force, step down to the 20 mm bore (132 N at 0.5 MPa). For applications requiring adjustable end-cushioning, select the MBLCD variant instead of the fixed bumper. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot; no SDB pivot or back-cover option exists. This SKU includes a magnet for CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors. A plain MBLD does not hold position without live air; use an external lock for holding.
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 MBLD25X160S FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 206 N at 0.5 MPa, 289 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A rod exits both ends, making the piston area annular on both sides for equal push/pull force and speed. The rear rod can mount a cam or flag, and twin rods resist rotation better than a single rod.
