Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X30
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X30 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 MBLD32X30
The AirTAC MBLD32X30 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder delivering 346 N of equal force in both extend and retract directions at 0.5 MPa. Because a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard-chrome plating exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on each side. This 30 mm short stroke is ideal for compact transfers where equal push and pull output is required.
The through-rod design allows you to mount a workpiece on the front rod end and a position flag or cam on the rear. It features a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact and a riveted rolling-packed barrel. This base SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG or EMSG electronic position sensors.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X30 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X30 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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 MBLD32X30 Is Used
PCB Reject Gate
Drives a 30 mm quick divert arm on a conveyor, using the twin-rod geometry to prevent binding during high-speed board rejection without needing an external guide.
Dual-Side Label Press
Applies 346 N of symmetrical clamping force to press a label onto a container, while the rear rod end simultaneously trips a mechanical limit switch to confirm cycle completion.
Connector Seating Tool
Provides equal push and pull force to seat delicate electronic connectors, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the 30 mm stroke impact without crushing the component.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X30 the Right Cylinder?
For 346 N of bidirectional thrust, this 32 mm bore fits neatly between the 25 mm model (206 N) and the 40 mm model (528 N) at 0.5 MPa. Choose the MBLCD variant if your application requires adjustable air cushions instead of the standard fixed rubber bumper. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option.
To replace this unit, match the 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread. Note that a plain MBLD does not hold position without live air—the rod drifts when pressure drops. The bumper only softens impact; use an external locking device for static 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 MBLD32X30 FAQ
Because a rod exits both sides, the force is equal in both directions. It provides 346 N at 0.5 MPa and 484 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum theoretical output of 71 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder has a piston rod protruding from both end covers, making the extend and retract areas identical for equal speed and force. The rear rod can drive a second mechanism or a cam, but it requires rear clearance equal to the stroke length.
