The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X10 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 10mm stroke. A rod exits both end covers, so extend and retract force are EQUAL — about 1458 N each way at 0.5 MPa. Fixed rubber bumper.
The AirTAC MBLD63X10 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder engineered for heavy-duty short-throw tasks. A single piston drives an Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod out of both end covers, yielding identical extend and retract forces of 1457 N at 0.5 MPa and 2040 N at 0.7 MPa. The ultra-compact 10 mm stroke is ideal for high-force gripping, riveting, or short indexing movements where absolute symmetry is required. It features a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-travel impact and a grease-retaining piston seal.
Because a rod protrudes from the rear cover, you can mount a position flag or secondary cam on the opposite end to actuate external limit switches without interfering with the primary workpiece. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light despite the 63 mm bore. This specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet (-S), so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic position sensors. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, and the thread form is default PT.

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 2040 N retract force at 0.7 MPa to upset rivets in sheet metal chassis assemblies, leveraging the 10 mm stroke for rapid, repeated high-impact cycles.
Mounts a soft jaw on the front rod and a mechanical limit flag on the rear rod to clamp circuit boards during conveyor indexing, ensuring zero rotational twist.
Drives a short marking pin into aluminum extrusions with equal 1457 N force in both directions, relying on the twin rods to prevent deflection during the strike.
For applications needing less force, the neighbouring MBLD50X10 provides 881 N at 0.5 MPa, offering a lighter 50 mm bore alternative. If even higher force is required, note that 63 mm is the largest bore in the MBL series, so stepping up requires switching to a different cylinder family. Choose this MBLD over the single-rod MBL when you need equal push/pull dynamics, anti-rotation guidance, or a rear rod for a cam. If adjustable air cushioning is required to absorb heavy end impacts, select the MBLCD variant instead, as the base MBLD only has a fixed rubber bumper.
This cylinder does not hold position without live air pressure—the rod will drift if supply drops. For secure load holding, integrate an external pneumatic lock or mechanical detent. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. To replace this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and confirm no magnet is fitted.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design creates equal annulus areas on both sides, force is identical in both directions: 1457 N at 0.5 MPa, 2040 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 297 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. This specific MBLD63X10 SKU lacks the built-in -S magnet, meaning it cannot interface with AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors. You must use the rear protruding rod to trip external mechanical switches.
