The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X50 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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 MBLD32X50 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 50mm stroke. Because a Ø12mm carbon-steel rod exits both end covers, the annulus piston area is identical on extend and retract, yielding exactly 346N of thrust and pull force at 0.5MPa. This symmetry is ideal for 50mm stroke motions requiring perfectly balanced dual-side operation.
The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel houses a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal, while the fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-travel impacts. Note this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches cannot be fitted. Overall length equals A plus twice the stroke, as the rear rod protrudes equally and requires dedicated clearance for a cam or position flag.

| 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 circular blade carriage on a 50mm stroke, using the equal 346N force both ways to ensure consistent cutting speed through thick FR4 fiberglass boards.
Mounts the primary yarn guide on the front rod and a physical limit flag on the rear protruding rod, triggering a mechanical trip at exactly 50mm extension.
Actuates a 32mm bore test head with twin rods keeping the 50mm stroke guided against rotational torque, preventing socket pin misalignment during chip clamping.
When sizing this 32mm bore, stepping down to the 25mm version yields 206N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 528N both ways. If your machine needs adjustable air cushioning rather than a fixed rubber bumper, select the MBLCD double-rod variant, or switch to the MBL single-rod type if rear-rod protrusion is unsuitable. Mounting is restricted to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; MBLD does not support SDB pivot or back-cover options. For exact replacements, verify the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/8 port, and default PT thread. Remember that a plain MBLD does not hold position without live air—the rod drifts without an external lock.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design has equal piston annulus area on both sides, extend and retract forces are identical: 346N at 0.5MPa, 484N at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical 71kgf at 1.0MPa.
No, this specific MBLD32X50 SKU lacks the built-in -S magnet, so CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches cannot detect rod position. You must select an MBLD32X50S model for sensor capability.
