The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X175S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 175mm 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 MBLD63X175S is a compact, double-acting double-rod aluminum mini cylinder carrying a Ø16 rod out of both end covers. Because a rod occupies both sides of the piston, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding exactly 1457 N of force at 0.5 MPa both ways (2040 N at 0.7 MPa). The 175 mm stroke provides substantial travel for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This S-suffix SKU includes a built-in magnet for CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensor switches to track rod position. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel and 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod ensure durability, while the fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-travel impacts. Note that the rear rod protrudes, requiring clearance equal to A + 2 x stroke for installation.

| 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 an ejection plate with 1457 N of equal both-way force, using the rear rod to simultaneously trip a limit switch and confirm mold closure in plastic injection machinery.
Lifts and lowers PCB trays over a 175 mm travel; the twin-rod geometry prevents chassis rotation during high-speed vertical stacking operations.
Shifts heavy warp beams laterally using 2040 N at 0.7 MPa, mounting a cam on the rear protrusion to actuate a pneumatic tensioner at the exact stroke midpoint.
If 1457 N is excessive, step down to the MBLD50 bore, which provides 881 N at 0.5 MPa. As the largest available bore, there is no larger standard size in the MBLD range. For applications needing precise end-deceleration, the MBLCD variant offers adjustable air cushions instead of the MBLD's fixed rubber bumper. Mounting is restricted 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, 175 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and -S magnet. A plain MBLD does not hold position without live air—the bumper is not a lock.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal 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. There is no larger push figure; extend and retract forces are identical.
The S in MBLD63X175S denotes a built-in magnet for rod-position sensing. It allows you to mount AirTAC CMSG reed switches or DMSG/EMSG solid-state electronic sensors directly to the cylinder body. Without the S suffix, the cylinder cannot accept any position sensors.
