The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X350 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 350mm 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 MBLD63X350 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder engineered for applications requiring 1457 N of equal force in both extend and retract directions at 0.5 MPa. Because a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod with a 20 um hard-chrome plating exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on each side, ensuring perfectly balanced push and pull speeds. A 350 mm stroke is well-suited for traversing large machine envelopes, and the riveted rolling-packed barrel keeps the overall footprint compact.
This configuration uses a fixed rubber bumper at the stroke ends to soften impact rather than an adjustable air cushion. The overall length equals A + 2 x stroke, meaning the rear rod protrudes significantly and requires dedicated clearance for a cam or position flag. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic position sensors without a physical modification.

| 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 dual-sided ejection plate in an injection molding cell, using the 1457 N equal both-way force to strip parts cleanly without rotational binding.
Shifts a heavy diverter gate 350 mm across a packaging line, using the rear rod end to mount a mechanical cam that triggers a downstream limit switch.
Applies constant 2040 N clamping pressure at 0.7 MPa on a textile calendering roller, ensuring uniform fabric tension via twin-rod anti-rotation guidance.
When sizing this 63 mm bore model, stepping down to the 50 mm bore yields 881 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 63 mm bore is the largest available in the MBLD range, delivering 2040 N at 0.7 MPa and a maximum theoretical 297 kgf at 1.0 MPa. If your application requires adjustable pneumatic cushioning to absorb heavy end-of-stroke kinetic energy at this stroke length, step up to the MBLCD variant. For single-ended tasks where rear-rod clearance is impossible, the standard single-rod MBL is the correct choice.
Mounting is strictly limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; the MBLD design physically omits the SDB pivot and back-cover options. Because the 350 mm stroke is substantial, the 8-16 mm rod diameter is vulnerable to side-load buckling, so an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent rod bending. To replace this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread form, and confirm no magnet is required.
Quick checklist
Because the rod exits both ends, push and pull forces are identical: 1457 N at 0.5 MPa, 2040 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 297 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU does not have a built-in magnet, so it cannot be used with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.
A double-rod cylinder provides equal force and speed in both directions because the piston area is identical on both sides. It also allows you to mount a workpiece on the front rod and a cam, guide, or secondary tool on the rear rod, though it requires clearance for the rear rod to protrude.
