The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X75 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 75mm 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 MBLD32X75 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 75mm stroke. Because a Ø12mm carbon-steel rod protrudes from both end covers, the effective piston area is identical on extend and retract. This yields an equal 346N of force at 0.5 MPa in both directions, making it ideal for 75mm travel tasks that demand symmetrical push-pull dynamics. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining piston seal ensure reliable service within tight spaces.
This configuration uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts and operates on G1/8 ported filtered air. The dual-rod architecture keeps light loads guided against rotation better than a single rod, while the rear protruding shaft can drive a secondary mechanism or position flag. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors without modification.

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 75mm cutting stroke on a depaneling router, using the twin rods to keep the blade carriage guided against side-load and ensuring 346N of consistent cutting pressure.
Actuates a 75mm diverter gate in a packaging line, using the rear rod end to mount an external mechanical flag that triggers a physical limit switch upon each cycle.
Applies 346N of insertion force to seat ribbon cable connectors into PCB headers, relying on the equal both-way force to safely extract the tooling on retract without snatching.
When sizing this 32mm bore actuator, stepping down to the 25mm bore reduces your equal both-way force to 206N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 40mm bore increases it to 528N. Choose the MBLD32X75 when your mechanism requires exactly 346N of symmetrical force across 75mm of travel. If your application suffers from severe end-impact shock, upgrade to the MBLCD variant, which features adjustable air cushions instead of the standard fixed rubber bumper. Keep in mind that MBLD mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option available.
For replacements, verify the 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, default PT thread, and lack of a magnet. Since this model has no -S suffix, it cannot accept a reed or electronic sensor switch. Additionally, a plain MBLD does not hold position without live air—the rod will drift if pressure drops, so an external locking device is required for fail-safe holding.
Quick checklist
Because the MBLD32X75 is a double-rod cylinder, the rod occupies both sides of the piston, making the annulus area equal in both directions. Therefore, push and pull forces are identical: 346N at 0.5 MPa, 484N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical output of 71 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not have the -S suffix, meaning no internal magnet is fitted, and it cannot trigger CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. To detect rod position, you must either source the -S variant of this double-rod cylinder or fit an external mechanical switch to the protruding rear rod.
