Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X500S
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X500S 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 MBLD63X500S
The AirTAC MBLD63X500S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder engineered for equal force in both directions, delivering 1457 N at 0.5 MPa on both extend and retract strokes. A single piston carries a Ø16 mm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod out of both end covers. The built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors to track position. Its 500 mm stroke reaches the maximum standard limit for this 63 mm bore, providing substantial linear travel within a riveted rolling-packed barrel.
Because the rod occupies both sides of the piston, the annulus area is identical on extension and retraction, yielding perfectly matched push and pull dynamics. The rear rod protrusion allows you to mount a position flag or secondary cam while the twin-rod geometry keeps loads guided against rotation. Overall length equals the base dimension plus twice the stroke, so you must leave physical clearance at the rear for the protruding rod. The internal fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-travel impact without acting as a position lock.

| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X500S |
|---|---|
| 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 MBLD63X500S Is Used
Textile Loom Beam Indexing
Drives a 500 mm indexing stroke on a weaving loom, using the rear rod end to trigger a mechanical flag for warp beam synchronization with 1457 N of equal bidirectional force.
PCB Conveyor Width Adjustment
Shifts guide rails on a printed circuit board conveyor system, leveraging the twin-rod anti-rotation property to keep the 500 mm travel perfectly parallel without binding.
Palletizer Stripper Push-off
Actuates a stripper plate to push completed product layers onto a pallet, utilizing the 2040 N retract force at 0.7 MPa to positively pull the plate back out of the load.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X500S the Right Cylinder?
At 500 mm stroke, this 63 mm bore generates 1457 N both ways at 0.5 MPa (2040 N at 0.7 MPa). If you need less force, step down to the 50 mm bore, which provides 881 N both ways at 0.5 MPa; as the largest standard MBLD bore, there is no larger step-up option. For applications requiring adjustable air cushioning rather than fixed rubber bumpers, use the MBLCD double-rod variant. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets—the MBLD has no back-cover option or SDB pivot bracket. A 500 mm stroke on a 16 mm rod demands an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. Ensure your replacement matches bore 63, stroke 500, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the -S magnet.
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 MBLD63X500S FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force both ways: 1457 N at 0.5 MPa and 2040 N at 0.7 MPa in both extend and retract directions. The maximum theoretical force is 297 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A rod exits both ends, creating equal annulus area so extend and retract speeds and forces are identical. The rear rod end can mount a cam or second tool. The S denotes a built-in magnet for CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors; without S, no sensor can be fitted.
