Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X60S
The AirTAC MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X60S 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 MBLD40X60S
The AirTAC MBLD40X60S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 60mm stroke. Because a Ø16mm carbon-steel rod exits both end covers, the annular piston area is identical on extend and retract, yielding exactly 528N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors for position detection. Equipped with a fixed rubber bumper, it softens end-of-travel impact without acting as a position lock.
This through-rod design allows you to mount a primary workpiece on the front rod and a secondary cam, position flag, or synchronization link on the rear rod. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light for tight machine spaces. Remember that overall length equals the base length plus twice the stroke, so you must leave clearance for the rear rod to protrude freely.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X60S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X60S |
|---|---|
| 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 MBLD40X60S Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Drives a symmetric thread tensioning guide at 528N both ways, using the rear rod to mount a cam that synchronizes the loom's beating motion.
PCB Edge Trimmer
Pushes a cutting blade forward and retracts it under identical 528N force, ensuring clean edge trimming on printed circuit boards without speed mismatch.
Packaging Flap Folder
Folds carton flaps simultaneously using dual-end tooling, with the 60mm stroke providing rapid, equal-speed actuation for high-speed packaging lines.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X60S the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down, the 32mm bore variant provides 346N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 50mm bore yields 881N both ways. Choose this 40mm size when a mid-range 528N output is required symmetrically. Unlike the single-rod MBL, this double-rod format ensures equal push and pull dynamics. If your application demands adjustable air cushioning rather than a fixed rubber bumper, select the MBLCD variant. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; no SDB pivot or back-cover options exist. To replace this unit, match the 40mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the -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 MBLD40X60S FAQ
The MBLD40X60S delivers equal force in both directions: 528N at 0.5 MPa and 739N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum theoretical output of 108kgf (1059N) at 1.0 MPa. Because the rod occupies both sides of the piston, extend and retract forces are identical.
The -S code indicates a built-in magnet for position sensing via AirTAC CMSG reed switches or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors. Without the -S code, the cylinder cannot accept sensors. The double-rod design also means the rear rod can carry a physical position flag for external mechanical tracking.
