Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X160
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X160 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X160
The AirTAC MBLD63X160 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 160mm stroke. Because a carbon-steel rod protrudes from both end covers, the annulus piston area is identical on extend and retract. This yields exactly 1457N of force both ways at 0.5MPa (2040N at 0.7MPa), making it ideal for 160mm travel tasks requiring perfectly symmetrical push-pull dynamics. The riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the body compact for tight spaces.
This SKU uses a G1/4 port, a Ø16mm rod with an M14x1.5 end thread, and relies on a fixed rubber bumper at each end to soften impact. A major mechanical benefit of the dual-rod layout is anti-rotation: mounting a workpiece to the front rod while attaching a cam or position flag to the rear rod allows synchronized dual-side guidance without needing a separate external guide for light loads. Note that this specific configuration lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X160 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X160 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 160 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 (Ø63mm, equal both ways)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X160 Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Drives a 160mm ejection plate with 1457N of equal force both ways, ensuring positive part removal and smooth retraction without spring lag.
PCB Conveyor Snubber
Uses the twin-rod design to push and pull a stopper flag on the rear side while the front rod halts PCBs, maintaining perfect alignment without rotation.
Textile Web Tensioner
Applies 2040N at 0.7MPa to a fabric guide roller, utilizing the symmetrical extend-retract speed to keep web tension constant during direction changes.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X160 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 63mm bore, stepping down to the 50mm bore drops the equal both-way force to 881N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up is not an option as 63mm is the largest available MBLD size. If your application requires adjustable air cushioning rather than fixed rubber bumpers, select the MBLCD variant instead. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; MBLD has no back-cover or SDB pivot options. Because this is a plain cylinder without a lock, it will drift and cannot hold position without live air. To replace this unit, match the 63mm bore, 160mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the absence of the -S magnet code.
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 MBLD63X160 FAQ
Because the double-rod design creates equal annulus areas on both sides, the push and pull forces are identical: 1457N at 0.5MPa, 2040N at 0.7MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 297kgf at 1.0MPa.
No, this MBLD63X160 SKU lacks the -S code for a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches. You must choose an MBLD63X160S model for solid-state or reed sensor integration.
