The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X100S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm 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 MBLD63X100S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 100mm stroke. Because a Ø16mm carbon-steel rod protrudes from both end covers, the annulus area is identical on both sides. This yields equal push and pull forces, delivering 1457N each way at 0.5 MPa and 2040N at 0.7 MPa. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG reed and DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors for position detection.
This 100mm travel unit uses a riveted rolling-packed barrel and a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impact. The twin-rod layout provides inherent anti-rotation stability, allowing you to mount a primary workpiece on the front rod and a position flag or cam on the rear rod. Remember that the overall length equals the body plus twice the stroke, requiring rear-rod clearance.

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.

Drives a 100mm stroke peening pin in an automated die shop, using the 1457N equal both-way force to consistently strike and relieve metal stress without rotational torque.
Synchronizes a lifting tray in a PCB assembly machine, using the rear protruding rod to push a secondary guide rail while the twin rods prevent binding over the 100mm travel.
Positions a fabric spreader bar in a calendering line, relying on the 2040N retract force to pull heavy woven textiles flat without requiring a spring-return mechanism.
If 1457N is excessive, step down to the 50mm bore MBLD, which provides 881N at 0.5 MPa. If you need more thrust, the 63mm is the largest in this mini range, so exceeding it requires an ISO 15552 cylinder. For high kinetic energy at this force, consider the MBLCD, which adds adjustable air cushions instead of the standard fixed rubber bumper. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets—no back-cover or SDB pivot exists. A plain MBLD will drift without continuous air pressure; use an external lock for position holding. Replacement requires matching the 63mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and magnet.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design means force is identical in both directions. It delivers 1457N push and 1457N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2040N both ways at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 297 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S code indicates a built-in magnet for AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (electronic) sensor switches to track position. The double-rod layout means a rod exits both ends, allowing you to mount a cam or limit flag on the rear rod while gaining superior anti-rotation guidance compared to a single-rod cylinder.
