The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X150 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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.
The AirTAC MBLD32X150 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 150mm stroke. Because a Ø12mm rod exits both end covers, the annulus piston area is identical on extend and retract. This yields equal force and speed in both directions, delivering 346N at 0.5MPa and 484N at 0.7MPa each way. The 150mm travel suits mid-range positioning tasks.
This configuration uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact rather than an adjustable air cushion. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining piston seal keep the compact body durable. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The rear protruding rod requires A + 2 x stroke overall clearance and is ideal for mounting a secondary cam or position flag.

|---|---|
| 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.

Drives a high-speed routing spindle in and out of a panel at 346N both ways, using the rear rod to trip a dust-collection valve simultaneously.
Shifts a yarn-guide bar 150mm across a loom; the twin rod resists torsional twisting from the thread tension better than a single shaft.
Pushes a cardboard diverter 150mm into a carton flow lane, with the opposing rod end holding a mechanical limit flag for cycle counting.
If you need less push, the adjacent MBLD25 bore provides 206N at 0.5MPa both ways. For heavier loads, step up to the MBLD40 bore, which yields 528N at 0.5MPa each direction. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles; there is no back-cover or SDB pivot option for the double-rod series. A plain MBLD does not hold position without live air—the rod drifts without an external lock. To replace this unit, match the 32mm bore, 150mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and non-magnet configuration.
Quick checklist
Being a double-rod cylinder, the extend and retract forces are equal because both sides have an identical annulus area. It generates 346N at 0.5MPa and 484N at 0.7MPa in both directions. The maximum theoretical force is 71kgf (approx. 696N) at 1.0MPa.
Unlike a single-rod MBL, the MBLD has a rod protruding from both ends, yielding equal push and pull forces and speeds. The rear rod can drive a second mechanism or hold a position flag. Also, this MBLD32X150 lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
