The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X100S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 100mm 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.
The AirTAC MBLD50X100S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and 100mm stroke. Because a Ø16mm carbon-steel rod protrudes from both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extension and retraction. This yields exactly 881N of force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, making it perfect for 100mm strokes requiring symmetrical dynamics. A built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches to track position.
This configuration uses a G1/4 port and a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impact. The riveted rolling-packed barrel maintains a compact footprint, while the twin rods provide inherent anti-rotation stability. Remember that overall length equals the body plus twice the stroke, so you must leave rear-rod clearance for the protruding shaft to avoid collision.

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.

| 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.

Uses the 881N bidirectional force to center and guide heavy printed circuit boards through a wave soldering machine without rotational deflection.
Employs the rear protruding rod to trigger a solid-state DMSG sensor flag while the front rod lifts copper stator coils within motor winding lines.
Leverages the equal extend and retract speeds to fold heavy cardboard carton flaps symmetrically at 100mm stroke, ensuring perfectly square sealing.
Step down to the 40mm bore if your application requires less force—it provides 528N at 0.5 MPa. Step up to the 63mm bore if you need heavy thrust, delivering 1457N at 0.5 MPa. This MBLD50X100S variant includes the -S magnet for position sensing and uses standard PT threads.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; MBLD lacks back-cover or SDB pivot options. The fixed rubber bumper softens impacts but does not lock the rod—unpressurized loads will drift. For high kinetic energy at 100mm stroke, consider the MBLCD variant which adds adjustable air cushions. When replacing, match the 50mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and magnet.
Quick checklist
Because a rod occupies both sides of the piston, push and pull forces are identical. It outputs 881N at 0.5 MPa and 1233N at 0.7 MPa in both directions. The maximum theoretical force is 180 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A single-rod cylinder has unequal areas and stronger push force. The MBLD50X100S has a rod exiting both ends, equalizing force and speed while allowing you to mount a cam or position flag on the rear shaft. It includes a -S magnet for CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors.
