Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X10S
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X10S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm stroke. A rod exits both end covers, so extend and retract force are EQUAL — about 346 N each way at 0.5 MPa. Fixed rubber bumper.

About the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X10S
The AirTAC MBLD32X10S is a compact, double-acting double-rod mini cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 10mm stroke. Because a rod protrudes from both end covers, the annulus piston area is identical on extend and retract, yielding equal force and speed in both directions—346N at 0.5 MPa. The built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches to track rod position. This short 10mm stroke is ideal for high-cycle micro-insertion tasks.
The riveted aluminum barrel keeps the body light for tight spaces, while the 20um hard-chrome plating on the carbon-steel rod protects against wear. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact. The rear rod can drive a secondary mechanism or mount a position flag, and the twin-rod design resists torsional twist better than a single rod. Overall length equals A plus 2x stroke, so plan rear-rod clearance.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X10S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X10S |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 10 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 500 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 (Ø32mm, equal both ways)
| Pressure | Extend & retract force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 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 MBLD32X10S Is Used
PCB Component Insertion
Drives a 10mm rapid micro-stroke to press connectors into PCBs, using the 346N equal both-way force to ensure consistent seating without overshoot.
IC Test Socket Actuation
Twin-rod anti-rotation stability keeps the test probe holder perfectly aligned during the 10mm travel, while the rear rod mounts a physical limit flag.
Micro-Dispenser Valve Toggle
Opens and closes a precision fluid valve with matched speed on both strokes, using the rear protruding rod to mechanically trip an external shutoff cam.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32mm bore, step down to the 25mm bore if you need less force (206N at 0.5MPa), or step up to the 40mm bore for heavier loads (528N at 0.5MPa). Choose this double-rod MBLD over the single-rod MBL when your mechanism requires equal push/pull force, dual-side guidance, or a rear attachment point. If your application suffers from severe end-impact shock, consider the MBLCD variant, which replaces the fixed rubber bumper with an adjustable air cushion.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA (flange), or LB (foot) brackets; MBLD has no back-cover or SDB pivot option. This plain PT-threaded port (G1/8) model includes the -S magnet for solid-state DMSG/EMSG or reed CMSG sensors. Note: a plain MBLD does not hold position without live air—the bumper is not a lock.
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 MBLD32X10S FAQ
Because the double-rod design has equal piston area on both sides, output force is identical for extend and retract: 346N at 0.5MPa, 484N at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical 71kgf at 1.0MPa.
A single-rod cylinder has a larger push force than pull force due to the rod displacing piston area. The MBLD double-rod has a rod exiting both ends, making annulus areas equal so push and pull forces match exactly. The rear rod can also drive a second mechanism or position flag.
