Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X40
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X40 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 40mm 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 MBLD63X40
The AirTAC MBLD63X40 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder delivering 1457 N of force in both extend and retract directions at 0.5 MPa. Because a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on each side, yielding perfectly symmetrical thrust and speed for your 40 mm stroke. The riveted rolling-packed barrel houses a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal for lasting lubrication.
This configuration uses a G1/4 port and M14x1.5 rod-end thread. End-of-travel impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, meaning it is not an adjustable air cushion (choose MBLCD for that) nor a locking device. As this SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. Mounting is restricted to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles, as the twin-rod design precludes back-cover or SDB pivot options.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X40 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X40 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 40 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 MBLD63X40 Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Uses the 1457 N both-way force to eject heavy sheet metal blanks from a die, utilizing the rear rod end to simultaneously trigger a mechanical limit flag.
PCB Conveyor Diverting
Leverages the short 40 mm stroke and equal-speed retract to push circuit boards across conveyor lanes without rotational skew thanks to twin-rod guidance.
Injection Mold Clamping
Secures mold halves in a compact jig, relying on the symmetrical 2040 N thrust at 0.7 MPa and the rigid 16 mm double-rod structure to prevent torsional binding.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X40 the Right Cylinder?
Step down to the 50 mm bore if your application only requires 881 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to this 63 mm bore if the smaller frame lacks the 1457 N thrust needed for heavier dies. When replacing, match the 63 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and Basic mounting. For higher kinetic energy at end-strokes, migrate to the MBLCD for adjustable cushions, or drop to the single-rod MBL if rear-rod clearance is unavailable. Note that a plain MBLD drifts under load without live air; the fixed bumper softens impact but does not hold position.
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 MBLD63X40 FAQ
Because the rod occupies both sides of the piston, push and pull forces are equal: 1457 N at 0.5 MPa, 2040 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 297 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet (-S code), so it cannot host CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches. You would need the MBLD63X40S variant for solid-state or reed sensor tracking.
