The AirTAC MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD40X75S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm 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 MBLD40X75S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod exiting both end covers. Because a rod occupies both sides of the piston, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract. This means you get exactly 528 N of force both ways at 0.5 MPa, ensuring perfectly balanced push and pull dynamics for your 75 mm stroke application.
This compact riveted-barrel body includes a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches to track position. The twin rods provide superior anti-rotation guidance for external loads compared to a single-rod design. You can mount a workpiece on the front rod and a position flag or cam on the rear rod, though you must leave appropriate clearance for that rear protrusion. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-travel impact, but note that this cylinder does not hold position without live air pressure.

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.

The 528 N equal both-way force and 75 mm stroke securely lift and stack PCBs in an electronics assembly line, using the rear rod to trigger a proximity flag.
Twin 16 mm rods prevent fabric roll twisting during high-speed loom feed changes, utilizing the 739 N output at 0.7 MPa for precise tension control.
The compact riveted aluminum body fits into tight cleanroom gantries, while the balanced extend/retract speed prevents sudden acceleration shocks to delicate silicon wafers.
If you need less force, the next size down is the MBLD32 bore, which yields 346 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires more power, stepping up to the MBLD50 bore provides 881 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. This 40 mm bore uses a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread.
Unlike the single-rod MBL series, this MBLD gives you equal extend and retract forces plus a rear rod for secondary mechanisms. If your machine experiences heavy end-load impacts, consider the MBLCD variant, which features an adjustable air cushion instead of this model's fixed rubber bumper. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option for the double-rod type. To replace this SKU exactly, match the 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT thread, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both ends, the push and pull forces are identical. It delivers 528 N at 0.5 MPa and 739 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 108 kgf.
The twin rods provide equal force and speed on extend and retract, plus better anti-rotation resistance for external loads. You can also mount a cam or sensor flag on the rear rod. The S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, allowing you to fit AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (electronic) switches for position detection.
