Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X500
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X500 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 500mm 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 MBLD63X500
The AirTAC MBLD63X500 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 500mm 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 at 0.5 MPa in either direction (2040N at 0.7 MPa), making it perfect for heavy-duty push-and-pull cycles.
This 500mm stroke configuration utilizes a Ø16mm rod with an M14x1.5 thread end and a G1/4 port. It features a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel and a fixed rubber bumper. Note that this SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The rear rod protrudes significantly, requiring ample clearance to mount a secondary cam or position flag.
With a 500mm stroke, the twin rods provide better anti-rotation resistance than a single rod, but the small 16mm diameter still necessitates an external guide to prevent rod bending under heavy side loads.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X500 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X500 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 500 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 MBLD63X500 Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Drives a dual-sided ejection plate in an injection molding cell, using the 1457N both-way force to push parts off cores and retract the plate smoothly in a 500mm cycle.
Pallet Transfer Cam
Uses the extended rear rod as a cam to trip a limit valve on a packaging conveyor, timing the 500mm stroke to synchronize with pallet indexing.
PCB Edge Guiding
Keeps heavy server chassis panels guided against rotation during a 500mm press fit, relying on the twin rods to prevent binding without external guides.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X500 the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 63mm bore generates 1457N both ways. If you need less force, the 50mm bore provides 881N. If you require more, the 63mm is the largest in the MBLD range, so stepping up further requires switching to a different cylinder series. For applications needing precise end-deceleration, consider the MBLCD variant with adjustable air cushions instead of the fixed rubber bumper found here.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. This plain SKU without an S code cannot accept a position sensor. It does not hold position without live air, so an external lock is needed for static holding. To replace, match the 63mm bore, 500mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and Basic mounting.
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 MBLD63X500 FAQ
The double-rod design means force is equal in both directions: 1457N at 0.5 MPa, 2040N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 297 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the built-in S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches. You would need the MBLD63X500S variant for sensor mounting.
