Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X100
The AirTAC MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X100 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm stroke. A rod exits both end covers, so extend and retract force are EQUAL — about 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa. Fixed rubber bumper.

About the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X100
The AirTAC MBLD40X100 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 40 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. Because a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding exactly 528 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for 100 mm stroke motions requiring consistent push and pull dynamics. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining piston seal ensure stable friction in tight spaces.
A defining trait of this twin-rod layout is dual-side guidance: mount a workpiece on the front rod and a position flag or cam on the rear. Note that the rear rod protrudes, so overall length equals the body plus twice the stroke—leave clearance. This base SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. Impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X100 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X100 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 100 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | G1/4 |
| Rod thread | M12×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 500 mm |
Double-rod overall length = A + 2 × stroke — leave clearance for the rear rod. MBLD/MBLCD mounting is Basic / FA / LB only (no SDB, no back-cover code). Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Output Force (Ø40mm, equal both ways)
| Pressure | Extend & retract force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 108 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.

Where the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X100 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives a circular blade through router material with 528 N of identical push and pull force, using the twin rods to keep the saw carriage aligned without rotational twist over the 100 mm cut.
Shuttle Conveyor Transfer
Uses the front rod to push a parts tote onto an adjacent belt while the rear rod simultaneously retracts a diverter flag, exploiting equal speed and force both ways for synchronized 100 mm travel.
Connector Insertion Jig
Presses electronic headers into housings with 739 N at 0.7 MPa, relying on the rigid 16 mm twin rods to resist side-loading and prevent binding during precise vertical insertion.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X100 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore when an application demands 528 N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less output, step down to the 32 mm bore (346 N); if you require more, step up to the 50 mm bore (881 N). For tasks needing end-deceleration tuning, switch to the MBLCD variant which offers adjustable air cushions, whereas this MBLD relies on a fixed rubber bumper. For single-ended work, the standard MBL provides a single-rod alternative.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets—there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. This specific SKU uses a PT tapered port thread and lacks the -S magnet, so external mechanical stops must be used instead of reed or electronic switches. Remember that the rubber bumper softens end impact but does not lock the rod; the piston will drift without live air pressure. For a direct replacement, match the 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and no-magnet configuration.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Equal force both ways at your pressure
- ✓ Rear-rod clearance (length = A + 2 × stroke)
- ✓ Mounting: Basic / FA / LB only
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — add a guide on long strokes
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Leave clearance for the rear rod (length = A + 2 × stroke).
- check Avoid side load; add an external guide on long strokes.
- check Mounting: Basic / FA flange / LB foot (no SDB, no back-cover code).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X100 FAQ
Because the double-rod design has equal piston areas on both sides, push and pull forces are identical: 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 108 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet (denoted by -S) required for AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches. You must use external mechanical limit flags, often mounted to the protruding rear rod.
