Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X10
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X10 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 10mm stroke. A rod exits both end covers, so extend and retract force are EQUAL — about 881 N each way at 0.5 MPa. Fixed rubber bumper.

About the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X10
The AirTAC MBLD50X10 is a compact double-acting double-rod aluminum mini cylinder engineered for symmetrical linear motion. Because a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 μm hard-chrome plating protrudes from both end covers, the annulus piston area is identical on extend and retract. This yields exactly 881 N of force both ways at 0.5 MPa (1233 N at 0.7 MPa), eliminating the speed and force mismatch inherent to single-rod designs.
With a short 10 mm stroke, this cylinder excels in high-force clamping or ejection tasks confined to tight machinery envelopes. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel and heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensure durable, leak-free operation. This SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors; rear-rod position must be tracked mechanically. End-of-travel impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, which is not a lock—live air is required to hold position.

|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | G1/4 |
| Rod thread | M14×1.5 |
| 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 (Ø50mm, equal both ways)
| Pressure | Extend & retract force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 180 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 MBLD50X10 Is Used
Press Die Stripping
Provides 881 N of equal force to strip stamped sheet metal from progressive press dies, using the rear rod to simultaneously push a finished part ejector.
PCB Router Clamping
Secures PCB panels during routing with 1233 N at 0.7 MPa, leveraging the twin rods to prevent chuck rotation during high-speed spindle plunge.
Packaging Flap Folding
Drives a short 10 mm stroke folding jaw on cartoners, using the protruding rear rod to trigger a mechanical limit flag for sequencing the glue gun.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 50 mm bore model, stepping down to the 40 mm bore cuts your equal both-way force to 528 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore increases it to 1457 N. Choose the MBLD50X10 when your application demands roughly 88 kgf of symmetric thrust within a 10 mm travel window.
Unlike the single-rod MBL or the adjustable-cushion MBLCD, this base MBLD relies on a fixed rubber bumper and offers no adjustable air cushion. Mounting is restricted to Basic, FA (flange), or LB (foot) brackets—the double-rod design physically omits SDB pivot and back-cover (CA/U) options. Ensure you leave rear-rod clearance, as overall length equals the base body length plus twice the stroke. Replacement requires matching the 50 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and PT tapered thread.
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 MBLD50X10 FAQ
Because the rod exits both ends, the force is equal in both directions: 881 N at 0.5 MPa, 1233 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 180 kgf (1765 N) at 1.0 MPa. There is no larger push-side figure for this double-rod cylinder.
A twin-rod configuration provides dual-side guidance and better resistance to torsional side loads, while allowing you to mount a workpiece on one end and a cam or position flag on the other. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so electronic DMSG/EMSG or reed CMSG sensors cannot be used.
