Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X250
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X250 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 250mm 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 MBLD32X250
The AirTAC MBLD32X250 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 250mm stroke. Because a Ø12mm rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding 346N of force each way at 0.5MPa. This 250mm travel suits extended indexing on packaging lines or long pick-and-place cycles.
This SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. It uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact, unlike the adjustable air cushion found on the MBLCD variant. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel and 20µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod ensure durable, low-friction operation in tight machine spaces.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X250 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X250 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 250 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 MBLD32X250 Is Used
Thermoformer Feed Pusher
Drives a 250mm indexing stroke to push plastic sheet into a forming station, using the twin rods to prevent workpiece rotation during the extended travel.
Dual-Side PCB Shuttle
Transfers circuit board carriers between testing bays, leveraging the 346N equal bidirectional force to smoothly accelerate and decelerate the load.
Rear-Cam Actuator
Operates a primary clamping jaw on the front rod while the protruding rear rod end drives a secondary cam to sequence a latch mechanism.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X250 the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down to the 25mm bore drops the equal both-way force to 206N at 0.5MPa, while moving up to the 40mm bore increases it to 528N. Choose this 32mm bore when your mechanism needs roughly 346N of push and pull force without rotating the load. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. A plain MBLD does not hold position without live air—the rod drifts without an external lock. At 250mm stroke, the long 12mm rod is prone to bending under side loads; always guide the load externally. To replace this unit, match the 32mm bore, 250mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and no magnet.
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 MBLD32X250 FAQ
The MBLD32X250 provides equal force in both directions because a rod occupies both sides of the piston. It delivers 346N at 0.5MPa, 484N at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical 71kgf at 1.0MPa.
Unlike a single-rod MBL cylinder, the MBLD32X250 has a rod exiting both ends, making extend and retract forces equal. The rear rod end can mount a cam or second tool, but this specific SKU has no built-in magnet for position sensing.
