The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X225 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 225mm 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 MBLD63X225 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder engineered for heavy-duty compact automation. Because a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on each side, yielding exactly 1457 N of force at 0.5 MPa in both extend and retract directions. A 225 mm stroke provides substantial travel for pushing heavy jigs or transferring substantial workpieces, while the riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the total footprint tight.
This configuration uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion (which would require the MBLCD variant). The G1/4 port matches the high flow demands of a 63 mm bore. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors without a physical model change. Overall length equals the base body dimension plus twice the stroke, so you must leave physical clearance for the rear rod to protrude freely.

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 heavy stamped metal panels from a die, utilizing the rear rod end to simultaneously trigger a mechanical limit flag.
Transfers large filled cartons between parallel packaging lanes, relying on the twin 16 mm rods to keep the diverter plate guided and resistant to twisting.
Drives a 225 mm stroke to lower a heavy testing probe array onto large printed circuit board panels, maintaining consistent clamping pressure in both directions.
Select this 63 mm bore when your application requires substantial symmetric thrust—1457 N at 0.5 MPa or 2040 N at 0.7 MPa both ways. If you need less force, stepping down to the 50 mm bore drops the output to 881 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up is not possible as 63 mm is the largest MBLD size available. For applications requiring precise end-deceleration of heavy 225 mm stroke loads, consider the MBLCD63 double-rod variant which adds adjustable air cushions instead of the standard fixed rubber bumper.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; MBLD does not support SDB pivot or back-cover mounts. Because this SKU omits the -S magnet code, it cannot accept electronic or reed sensors—choose an MBLD63X225S variant if position feedback is required. At 225 mm of travel, the twin 16 mm rods still need external load guidance to prevent bending under high side-loads. Furthermore, the cylinder will drift if air pressure drops, as the rubber bumper is not a locking device.
Quick checklist
Because the rod exits both ends, force is equal in both directions: 1457 N at 0.5 MPa, 2040 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 297 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU does not have a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.
The twin-rod design provides dual-side guidance and better anti-rotation resistance than a single-rod cylinder, and the rear rod can drive a secondary mechanism. However, overall length is the base body plus twice the stroke (requiring rear clearance), and mounting is restricted to Basic, FA, or LB brackets—no SDB pivot or back-cover options exist.
