The AirTAC MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X200S 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.
The AirTAC MBLD40X200S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder. A Ø16mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard-chrome plating protrudes from both end covers, yielding equal effective annulus areas. This means it generates 528N of force in both extend and retract directions at 0.5MPa. The built-in magnet (-S) lets you track position with CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches. A 200mm stroke suits mid-range indexing tasks while the riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body compact.
Because a rod exits both ends, you can mount the workpiece on the front and a position flag or cam on the rear. The twin rods provide dual-side guidance that resists rotation better than a single rod. Overall length equals A + 2 x stroke, so you must leave rear clearance. End impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.

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.

Provides 528N of both-way stopping force at 0.5MPa to halt populated PCB panels, using the rear rod end to trigger a solid-state DMSG sensor.
Twin rods resist rotational twist during 200mm travel, maintaining precise bidirectional tension on heavy fabric webs without binding.
Drives a secondary ejector pin from the rear rod end while the front rod pushes wafers, keeping cycle forces perfectly balanced at 739N.
Stepping down to the MBLD32 bore drops the both-way force to 346N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the MBLD50 raises it to 881N. Choose this double-rod MBLD over the single-rod MBL when equal push/pull force and anti-rotation guidance are required. Choose the MBLCD variant if your application needs adjustable air cushioning. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. The plain rubber bumper is not a lock; the rod drifts without live air, so use an external locking device for holding.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design yields equal force both directions: 528N at 0.5MPa, 739N at 0.7MPa, and a maximum of 108kgf at 1.0MPa.
A rod exits both ends, making the annulus area equal on both sides for identical push and pull speed/force. You can mount a cam or sensor flag on the rear rod, but you must account for rear clearance since overall length is A + 2 x stroke.
