The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X150 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 150mm 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 MBLD63X150 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore and 150 mm stroke. Because a carbon-steel rod protrudes from both end covers, the effective piston area is identical on extend and retract, yielding exactly 1457 N of force both ways at 0.5 MPa. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body light for tight spaces, while the 20 um hard-chrome plating protects the Ø16 mm rods from wear.
This configuration uses a G1/4 port and M14x1.5 rod-end threads. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-travel impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this specific SKU is built without a magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The twin-rod layout provides inherent anti-rotation guidance, allowing you to mount a workpiece on the front rod and a cam or position flag on the rear rod, which requires corresponding clearance in your layout.

| 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.

Drives a 150 mm stripper plate stroke in an injection molding press, using the 1457 N both-way force to eject parts evenly without rotational skew.
Uses the rear protruding rod to actuate a solid-state sensor flag on a PCB conveyor, while the front rod pushes a 63 mm guide gate.
Applies equal 1457 N hold-down pressure on both extend and retract strokes to maintain a symmetric nip gap on a textile calender roller.
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore generates 1457 N both directions. If you need less force, the next size down is the 50 mm bore delivering 881 N; if you require more, the 63 mm is the largest in the MBLD range. If your cycle speed demands adjustable air cushioning to halt a heavy load, step up to the MBLCD variant, as the base MBLD only has fixed rubber bumpers. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets—there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. The cylinder does not hold position without live air; fit an external lock if the load must resist drift. To replace this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the lack of an S magnet.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design creates equal annulus areas on both sides, the 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.
A twin-rod cylinder provides equal push and pull force and allows a secondary cam or mechanism to mount on the rear rod. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you must select an MBLD63X150S variant for position detection.
