The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X75S 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 MBLD32X75S is a compact double-acting double-rod aluminum mini cylinder. A single piston carries a Ø12mm carbon-steel rod out of both end covers, yielding exactly 346N of force at 0.5MPa on both extend and retract strokes. The 75mm stroke is well-suited for mid-travel indexing and transfer tasks. The built-in -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches to track position along the riveted aluminum barrel.
Because the effective annulus area is identical on both sides, push and pull speeds remain perfectly matched. The rear rod protrusion allows you to mount a position flag or cam on the opposite end from the primary workpiece, providing dual-side guidance that resists torsional rotation better than a single rod. End-of-travel impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, which softens the stop but does not mechanically lock the load in place when air is removed.

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 transfer shuttle in PCB assembly lines, using the 346N bidirectional force to push and pull carrier trays with equal cycle times.
Indexing electronic packages into a test socket, utilizing the rear rod end to trigger a CMSG reed switch for precise 75mm end-of-travel confirmation.
Tracks and corrects web alignment in packaging machinery, where the twin-rod construction prevents the guiding roller from twisting under load.
If 346N is too much force, step down to the 25mm bore (206N at 0.5MPa); if your payload requires more thrust, step up to the 40mm bore (528N at 0.5MPa). Choose the MBLD over the single-rod MBL when equal extend/retract force, anti-rotation stability, or a rear-rod cam is required. For applications involving heavy end-of-stroke masses, consider the MBLCD variant, which replaces the fixed rubber bumper with an adjustable air cushion. 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 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, and the -S magnet specification.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 346N at 0.5MPa, 484N at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical 71kgf at 1.0MPa.
A rod exits both ends, making the extend and retract annulus areas identical for perfectly matched speed and force. The rear rod can also drive a secondary mechanism or mount a position flag, and the twin rods resist rotational torque better than a single rod.
