Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X60
The AirTAC MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X60 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm 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 MBLD40X60
The AirTAC MBLD40X60 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder with a 40mm bore and 60mm stroke. A single piston drives a Ø16mm carbon-steel rod out of both end covers, yielding exactly 528N of force in both extend and retract directions at 0.5MPa. This equal annulus-area design is ideal for 60mm stroke tasks needing symmetrical push-pull dynamics without rotational drift.
This base PT-thread configuration lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper at end-of-travel to soften impact, differing from the adjustable air cushion found on the MBLCD variant. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the frame compact for tight machine cells, while the protruding rear rod allows you to mount a secondary cam or position flag directly opposite the primary workpiece.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X60 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X60 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 MBLD40X60 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives a 60mm cutting stroke on a depaneling router, using the equal 528N both-way force to push and retract the blade through composite boards without speed mismatch.
Textile Tenter Frame
Syncs a cam mechanism on the rear rod to actuate a fabric clamp while the front rod shifts the guide, leveraging twin-rod anti-rotation for repeatable 60mm travel.
Connector Insertion Head
Presses electronic headers into PCBs with 528N of symmetrical force, ensuring the double-ended rod returns the insertion tool to a precise home position via its fixed rubber bumper.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X60 the Right Cylinder?
The 528N both-way output suits medium load transfer, but if your fixture is lighter, stepping down to the 32mm bore provides 346N at 0.5MPa. For heavier jigs, the 50mm bore offers 881N. Remember that MBLD mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. To replace this unit, match the 40mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and confirm no magnet is required. A plain MBLD will drift and lose position if air pressure drops, so add an external locking device if mid-stroke holding is critical.
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 MBLD40X60 FAQ
Because the rod exits both ends, the effective area is identical on both sides: it delivers 528N at 0.5MPa and 739N at 0.7MPa in both directions, with a theoretical max of 108kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU has no built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.
A single-rod MBL cylinder has unequal extend and retract forces due to the rod displacing piston area on one side. The MBLD40X60 uses a rod on both sides, making push and pull forces exactly equal at 528N, while providing a rear rod extension for mounting a secondary cam, flag, or tool. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, whereas MBLCD adds adjustable air cushioning.
