The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X15 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 15mm 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 MBLD63X15 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore and a 15 mm stroke. Because a carbon-steel rod protrudes from both end covers, the annulus piston area is identical on extend and retract. This yields exactly 1457 N of force at 0.5 MPa in both directions, preventing the speed and force mismatch common to single-rod units.
This short-stroke configuration is built for heavy, compact impact tasks. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and 20 um hard-chrome plating withstand harsh environments, while the fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-travel shock. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors without a model change.

| 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.
| Pressure | Extend & retract force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 297 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.

Uses the 1457 N equal both-way force to eject stamped metal blanks from a die, driving a rear rod cam to signal the press in the same stroke.
Secures circuit board panels during routing with 2040 N at 0.7 MPa, leveraging the twin 16 mm rods to keep the clamp perfectly parallel and prevent panel rotation.
Folds heavy corrugated carton flaps simultaneously from both sides, using the dual-ended rods to synchronize mechanical folders without needing external linkages.
For lower force needs, stepping down to the 50 mm bore provides 881 N at 0.5 MPa, while no larger standard bore exists in this mini series, making the 63 mm the maximum available output at 297 kgf theoretical max. If adjustable air cushioning is required to soften heavy impacts, consider the MBLCD variant, as the base MBLD uses a fixed rubber bumper. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no back-cover or SDB pivot option. To replace this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and no-magnet configuration.
Quick checklist
The MBLD63X15 provides equal force in both extend and retract directions due to its double-rod design. It outputs 1457 N at 0.5 MPa and 2040 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 297 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder has a piston rod exiting both end covers, making the effective piston area identical on both sides for equal extend and retract speed and force. The rear rod can also drive a secondary mechanism or position flag. This specific MBLD63X15 SKU has no built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
