Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X60
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X60 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 60mm 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 MBLD50X60
The AirTAC MBLD50X60 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and 60mm stroke. Because a Ø16mm carbon-steel rod protrudes from both end covers, the effective annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding exactly 881N of force at 0.5 MPa in both directions. This 60mm stroke is ideal for short, high-power transfers where symmetrical pushing and pulling are required.
The twin-rod architecture provides inherent anti-rotation resistance, allowing you to mount a workpiece on the front rod and a position flag or cam on the rear rod. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining piston seal ensure durable service, while end-of-stroke impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet (-S), meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X60 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X60 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 MBLD50X60 Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides 881N of equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa to eject small plastic parts from a mold cavity, using the rear rod to simultaneously drive a confirm-off limit flag.
PCB Test Socket Actuation
Drives a 60mm stroke test head onto printed circuit boards with symmetrical 1233N force at 0.7 MPa, utilizing twin-rod guidance to prevent socket binding.
Textile Web Guide
Shifts a fabric guide roller with equal extend and retract speed, ensuring precise tracking of high-speed textile webs without rotational skew.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X60 the Right Cylinder?
With 881N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa, this 50mm bore handles substantial loads for a mini cylinder. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 40mm bore yields 528N both ways, while moving up to the 63mm bore provides 1457N at the same pressure. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end impacts, but if your cycle rates demand adjustable air cushioning, step across to the MBLCD variant.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles; there is no back-cover or SDB pivot option for the double-rod series. Furthermore, a plain MBLD will drift and cannot hold position without continuous live air—the bumper is not a locking mechanism. When replacing a unit, verify the 50mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/4 port, default PT thread, and the absence of a 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 MBLD50X60 FAQ
Because the MBLD50X60 is a double-rod cylinder, the effective piston area is identical on both sides, resulting in equal force for both extension and retraction. The output is 881N at 0.5 MPa, 1233N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 180 kgf (1765N) at 1.0 MPa.
A rod protrudes from both ends, allowing you to mount a secondary mechanism or position flag on the rear rod while achieving equal force and speed in both directions. This specific MBLD50X60 SKU does not have a built-in magnet (-S code omitted), so it cannot be used with CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors.
