Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X60
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X60 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm 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 MBLD25X60
The AirTAC MBLD25X60 is a double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and 60mm stroke. Because a Ø10mm piston rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract. This yields equal bi-directional force of 206N at 0.5MPa and 289N at 0.7MPa. The 60mm stroke is optimal for short-indexing motions where symmetrical displacement is required. A rod protrudes from the rear cover, so you must leave rear-rod clearance in your layout (overall length = A + 2 x stroke).
This SKU has no built-in magnet (no -S suffix) and cannot accept a CMSG reed or DMSG electronic position sensor. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light for tight spaces, while the 20µm hard-chrome plating on the carbon-steel rod resists wear. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper. This base MBLD variant does not use adjustable air cushions; for that, see the MBLCD series.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X60 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X60 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 MBLD25X60 Is Used
PCB Edge-Guide Transfer
Uses the 206N equal bi-directional force to push and pull fragile PCB panels through an edge-guiding station without skewing, thanks to the anti-rotation twin rods.
Chip Tray Ejector
Mounts a secondary ejector cam on the rear rod to knock a populated chip tray off a test socket exactly as the front rod retracts the cover.
Label Applicator Wipe
Provides a steady 60mm stroke to press a wipe-down roller against a moving web, keeping uniform pressure since the extend and retract speeds match.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD25X60 the Right Cylinder?
To size this actuator, step down to the 20mm bore (132N at 0.5MPa) for lighter pick-and-place, or up to the 32mm bore (346N at 0.5MPa) if your payload exceeds 20kg. The 25mm bore uses a G1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod-end 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. To replace this unit, match the 25mm bore, 60mm stroke, PT tapered thread, and no-magnet configuration. Note that the fixed rubber bumper softens end impact but does not lock the rod; the cylinder drifts without live air, so use an external locking device for position 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 MBLD25X60 FAQ
The MBLD25X60 provides equal force in both directions because the rod exits both sides. It delivers 206N at 0.5MPa and 289N at 0.7MPa. The theoretical maximum is 42kgf at 1.0MPa.
A double-rod cylinder provides equal extend and retract force and speed, and allows you to mount a cam or secondary tool on the rear rod. This specific MBLD25X60 SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you would need the MBLD25X60S variant for position detection.
