The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X350S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 350mm 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 MBLD32X350S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder with a 32mm bore and 350mm stroke. A Ø12mm carbon-steel rod with 20µm hard-chrome plating exits both end covers, yielding identical 346N extend and retract force at 0.5MPa. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors for position feedback. This 350mm travel suits automated doors or long-transfer pushes.
Because the rear rod protrudes the full stroke length, you must leave rear clearance for the second rod end. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining piston seal keep operation stable across the 30-800mm/s speed range. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, while the twin rods prevent twist and provide better anti-rotation support than a single rod.

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.

Uses the 346N equal both-way force and 350mm stroke to push populated PCB panels between parallel conveyor belts without asymmetric speed drift.
The twin rods prevent piston rotation during rapid 350mm traversals, keeping the yarn guide bracket perfectly aligned at 30-800mm/s.
The protruding rear rod acts as a mounting post for a physical cam, triggering an external mechanical limit switch while the front rod drives the main workpiece.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the MBLD25 bore drops the equal both-way force to 206N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the MBLD40 bore increases it to 528N. Choose the MBLD over the single-rod MBL when you need equal push/pull dynamics or a rear rod for a cam. If intense end-impact requires adjustable air cushioning, select the MBLCD variant instead. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets—there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. The PT thread port is G1/8. Note: a plain MBLD does not hold position without live air; the bumper only softens impact, so use an external lock for holding.
At 350mm stroke (approaching the 500mm max for this bore), the small 12mm rod is susceptible to bending under lateral loads. Even with twin rods, an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent side-load damage.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both ends, the effective piston area is identical on extend and retract. The force is equal both ways: 346N at 0.5MPa, 484N at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical 71kgf (approx. 696N) at 1.0MPa.
The twin rods provide equal push/pull force and better anti-rotation guidance than a single-rod cylinder, while the rear rod end can mount a secondary cam or tool. The -S code means a built-in magnet is fitted, allowing CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors to detect piston position.
