The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X60S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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 MBLD32X60S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 60mm stroke. A single piston drives a Ø12mm carbon-steel rod out of both end covers, yielding exactly 346N of force at 0.5MPa in both extend and retract directions. This equal annulus area on both sides makes it ideal for mechanisms requiring symmetric thrust and consistent cycle times. The built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors to track position.
Because a rod protrudes from the rear, you can mount a position flag or cam on one end while driving the primary workpiece on the other. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact for tight spaces. It uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impact, and the overall length equals the base body length plus twice the stroke, so you must leave clearance for the rear 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.

Drives a dual-sided wiper blade across a stencil printer at 346N, using the rear rod to trigger a reed CMSG sensor for stroke completion.
Pushes an integrated circuit tube between stations while maintaining equal 484N @0.7MPa force in both directions to prevent component jamming.
Uses the 60mm stroke to advance a label roller, while the protruding rear rod acts as a cam to mechanically open the label clamp.
If you need less force, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 206N at 0.5MPa; if your load requires more push, stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 528N at 0.5MPa. Choose this MBLD over a single-rod MBL when you need dual-side guidance, anti-rotation support, or a rear rod for a secondary mechanism. If your application suffers from severe end-impact loads, consider the MBLCD variant, which offers adjustable air cushioning instead of the MBLD's fixed rubber bumper.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no back-cover or SDB pivot option for this double-rod type. The port thread is PT (tapered), and the cylinder uses a G1/8 port. Note that the fixed bumper is not a locking device; the rod will drift if air pressure is lost, so an external lock is required for position holding.
Quick checklist
Because a rod occupies both sides of the piston, the effective annulus area is identical in both directions. The force is equal for extend and retract: 346N at 0.5MPa, 484N at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical 71kgf at 1.0MPa.
The -S suffix means a built-in magnet for AirTAC CMSG (reed), DMSG, or EMSG (electronic) sensor switches. The double-rod design means a rod exits both ends, providing equal force and speed both ways while allowing you to mount a workpiece on one end and a position flag or cam on the rear end.
