The AirTAC MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X10S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm 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.
The AirTAC MBLD40X10S is a compact double-acting double-rod aluminum mini cylinder engineered for symmetrical motion. Because a rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding 528 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. The 10 mm stroke is tailored for high-cycle, short-travel operations like ejecting parts or triggering brief mechanical actions.
The integrated -S magnet enables position detection via CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches. Its riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel and 20 um hard-chrome carbon-steel rod ensure durability. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, while the twin-rod design provides inherent anti-rotation guidance for light loads. The rear protruding rod can mount a secondary cam or position flag.

| 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.
| 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.

Uses the 528 N equal bidirectional force to eject stamped metal pins from a die, utilizing the 10 mm stroke for rapid, high-frequency cycling without stalling.
Drives a diverter gate in a packaging line where the rear rod end simultaneously operates a mechanical position flag for a remote sensor.
Secures circuit boards during routing with its twin-rod anti-rotation stability, preventing workpiece twist under lateral load.
For lower force needs, the MBLD32 bore provides 346 N at 0.5 MPa; for higher demands, the MBLD50 offers 881 N. Unlike the single-rod MBL, this double-rod version ensures equal push and pull forces. If your application requires adjustable air cushioning rather than the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLCD variant. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles—no SDB pivot or back-cover options exist. A plain MBLD will drift without live air, so use an external lock for position holding. Replacement match: 40 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, no mounting code, -S magnet.
Quick checklist
The MBLD40X10S provides equal force in both directions due to the double-rod design: 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 108 kgf (1059 N) at 1.0 MPa.
The -S code means a built-in magnet for rod position detection. It supports AirTAC CMSG reed switches as well as DMSG and EMSG electronic solid-state sensors. Without the -S code, no sensor can be fitted.
