Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X60S
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X60S 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 MBLD50X60S
The AirTAC MBLD50X60S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and 60mm stroke. Because a Ø16mm carbon-steel rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on each side, yielding exactly 881N of force at 0.5 MPa in both extend and retract directions. This 60mm travel is well suited for short-stroke transfer and gripping tasks requiring symmetric thrust.
A defining benefit of this twin-rod layout is dual-side mechanical guidance, which resists torsional rotation better than a single rod. You can mount the primary workpiece on the front rod end (M14x1.5 thread) and fix a position flag or cam on the rear protruding rod. The riveted rolling-packed barrel houses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts, and the built-in magnet (-S) enables precise tracking with CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X60S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X60S |
|---|---|
| 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 MBLD50X60S Is Used
PCB Panel Edge Gripper
Drives a dual-side clamping jaw to hold heavy printed circuit boards during wave soldering, using the 881N of equal force to prevent panel twisting without crushing the substrate.
Loom Shuttle Actuator
Transfers a textile shuttle across a 60mm track in weaving machines, utilizing the twin-rod's anti-rotation properties to keep the thread guide perfectly aligned on both strokes.
Die Stamping Positioner
Feeds small electronic contacts into a stamping die, using the rear protruding rod end to trigger a mechanical limit flag that confirms the 60mm feed cycle is complete.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD50X60S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50mm bore when an application demands 881N (@0.5 MPa) of perfectly symmetric push/pull force across 60mm of travel. If your payload is lighter, stepping down to the 40mm bore provides 528N both ways; if you need to move heavier jigs, the 63mm bore offers 1457N. For higher kinetic energy at stroke ends, consider the MBLCD variant which adds adjustable air cushions instead of the MBLD's fixed rubber bumper.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets—this series uses no back-cover or SDB pivot options. Remember that overall length equals the body plus 2x stroke, so you must leave rear-rod clearance in your frame. A plain pneumatic cylinder drifts under load without live air pressure; the bumper only absorbs impact and does not lock position. To replace this unit, match the 50mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the -S magnet requirement.
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 MBLD50X60S FAQ
Because the double-rod design has equal piston area on both sides, the extend and retract forces are identical: 881N at 0.5 MPa, 1233N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 180 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Unlike a single-rod cylinder where push force exceeds pull force, the MBLD50X60S provides equal force and speed in both directions. Additionally, the rear rod protrudes from the back cover, allowing you to mount a secondary cam or position flag for dual-side mechanism tracking.
