Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X225S
The AirTAC MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X225S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 225mm 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 MBLD40X225S
The AirTAC MBLD40X225S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 225mm stroke. Because a rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, delivering an equal 528N force both ways at 0.5MPa. A built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensor switches to track piston position. The 225mm stroke suits mid-range indexing and transfer tasks.
This model uses a Ø16 carbon-steel rod with 20um hard-chrome plating and a G1/4 port. It features a riveted rolling-packed barrel and a fixed rubber bumper. Overall length equals A + 2 x stroke, so rear-rod clearance is mandatory. The twin rods provide dual-side guidance to resist twisting, though long strokes still require an external guide to prevent rod bending under heavy side loads.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X225S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X225S |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 225 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 MBLD40X225S Is Used
PCB Conveyor Pusher
Drives a 225mm transfer arm in a PCB assembly line, using the 528N equal both-way force to push boards onto testing nests without rotational drift.
Dual-Side Label Wiper
Mounts a wiper blade on the front rod and a position flag on the rear rod to trigger a DMSG sensor, ensuring flat label application on packaging machines.
Wafer Cassette Indexer
Indexes semiconductor wafer cassettes mid-process; the twin-rod anti-rotation property keeps the 225mm stroke perfectly aligned under a 739N load at 0.7MPa.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X225S the Right Cylinder?
Step down to the MBLD32 bore for 346N at 0.5MPa if your load is lighter, or step up to the MBLD50 bore for 881N if you need to move heavier fixtures. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-travel impact, but for adjustable air cushioning, switch to the MBLCD variant. For single-direction tasks where rear-rod output is unnecessary, the standard MBL single-rod cylinder saves space.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; MBLD has no SDB pivot or back-cover option. This SKU uses default PT tapered ports and includes the -S magnet for solid-state DMSG/EMSG or reed CMSG sensors. A plain MBLD does not hold position without live air—the bumper is not a lock. For exact replacement, match the 40mm bore, 225mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and -S magnet.
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 MBLD40X225S FAQ
Because the rod exits both ends, the force is identical in both directions: 528N at 0.5MPa, 739N at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical 108kgf at 1.0MPa.
A twin-rod cylinder provides equal extend and retract forces and allows a cam or position flag to be mounted on the rear rod. This MBLD40X225S includes a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, but it uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
