Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X150
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X150 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 150mm 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 MBLD50X150
The AirTAC MBLD50X150 is a compact double-acting double-rod aluminum mini cylinder engineered to deliver identical push and pull forces. Because a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating exits both end covers, the annulus piston area is symmetrical, yielding 881 N of force in both directions at 0.5 MPa. The 150 mm stroke is ideal for medium-travel positioning tasks, while the riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel and heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensure reliable service in tight industrial spaces.
This configuration features a fixed rubber bumper at the stroke ends to soften mechanical impact—it is not an adjustable air cushion (choose MBLCD for that) nor a position lock. Without live air pressure, the rod will drift; external locking mechanisms are required for absolute holding. The overall length equals the base body length plus 2 x stroke, meaning the protruding rear rod requires dedicated clearance. You can mount a secondary cam, position flag, or guide tool on the rear rod end for synchronized dual-side actuation.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X150 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X150 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 150 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 MBLD50X150 Is Used
PCB Edge-Belt Conveyor Diverting
Drives a dual-sided diverter gate on a PCB edge-belt conveyor. The twin-rod design prevents the gate from twisting under the 881 N force, keeping fiberglass boards aligned perfectly during lane transitions.
Textile Stenter Clip Release
Actuates a release cam on a textile stenter frame. The rear rod protrudes to operate a mechanical flag that signals the clip-open sequence, handling the 150 mm travel needed to clear woven fabric edges.
Packaging Carton Flap Folding
Folds corrugated carton flaps in a continuous packaging line. Equal extend and retract forces ensure consistent folding speeds in both directions, preventing carton jams during high-speed retraction.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X150 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 50 mm bore model, step down to the 40 mm bore if your load requires less than 528 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 63 mm bore for heavy-duty tasks needing 1457 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose the single-rod MBL if you only need standard push action and want a shorter overall length, or select the MBLCD variant if your application demands adjustable pneumatic cushioning to dissipate high kinetic energy. Mounting options for this double-rod body are limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets—SDB pivot and back-cover mounts are not available. As a direct replacement, verify the 50 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/4 port, default PT thread, and the absence of a magnet (this SKU cannot take a sensor).
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 MBLD50X150 FAQ
The MBLD50X150 provides equal force in both directions because the double-rod design balances the piston area. It delivers 881 N at 0.5 MPa, 1233 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical output of 180 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet (denoted by an 'S' in the model code) and cannot accept AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors. You must use the external rear rod end to mount a mechanical flag or cam for position detection.
