Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X200
The AirTAC MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X200 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm 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 MBLD40X200
The AirTAC MBLD40X200 is a compact double-acting double-rod aluminum mini cylinder engineered to deliver 528 N of thrust and pull at 0.5 MPa. Because a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard-chrome plating protrudes from both end covers, the annulus piston area is identical on both sides, resulting in perfectly equal extend and retract forces. This 200 mm stroke configuration is well-suited for automated assembly lines requiring consistent bilateral motion.
This base MBLD40X200 model lacks a built-in magnet (-S code), meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel and grease-retaining piston seal ensure stable operation within the -20 to +70 C temperature range. Remember that the overall length equals A + 2 x 200 mm, so you must leave physical clearance for the rear rod to freely extend without collision.

|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 200 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 MBLD40X200 Is Used
PCB Stencil Wiping
Drives a 528 N bilateral squeegee mechanism on a solder paste printer, using the rear rod to simultaneously trigger a mechanical flag for stroke cycle counting.
Textile Beam Guiding
Equal 528 N force both ways prevents fabric skewing during a 200 mm loom beam transfer, keeping the twin-rod assembly rotationally stable without external torsion.
Connector Insertion Press
Pushes ribbon connectors into PCB headers at 0.5 MPa, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the 200 mm end-impact without requiring an external shock absorber.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X200 the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down to the 32 mm bore drops the equal both-way output to 346 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 50 mm bore increases it to 881 N. Choose the 50 mm variant if your payload exceeds 528 N or if you need higher margin against friction. Unlike the single-rod MBL which offers a larger forward push, this double-rod design guarantees symmetrical speed. If shock at the 200 mm stroke endpoints is too high, consider the MBLCD variant which features adjustable air cushioning instead of the fixed rubber bumper.
Mounting is restricted to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option available. At 200 mm, the stroke approaches the upper limits where a small 8-16 mm rod can experience bending under side loads; always use an external guide rail to prevent premature seal wear. Note that this cylinder does not hold position without live air—the rod will drift if pressure drops. When replacing, verify the G1/4 port, PT thread, and the absence of a magnet switch.
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 MBLD40X200 FAQ
The MBLD40X200 provides equal force in both extend and retract directions due to the double-rod design. It outputs 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 108 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A rod exits both ends, meaning the effective piston area is identical on both sides for equal push/pull force and speed. You can mount a cam or secondary tool on the rear rod. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet code, you cannot fit CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic position sensors to it.
