Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X60
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X60 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 60mm 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 MBLD63X60
The AirTAC MBLD63X60 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. Because a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod protrudes from both end covers, the effective piston area is identical on extend and retract, yielding an equal 1457 N of force in both directions at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust makes it ideal for mechanisms requiring consistent push and pull dynamics within a compact footprint.
This configuration uses a PT tapered port thread and relies on a fixed rubber bumper at the stroke ends to soften impact, rather than an adjustable air cushion. As this specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet option, it cannot accommodate CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel and grease-retaining two-way piston seal ensure durable, leak-free operation in tight assembly spaces.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X60 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X60 |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 MBLD63X60 Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Drives a dual-sided ejection plate in a 63 mm injection molding machine, using the symmetric 1457 N thrust to safely strip parts without rotational torque on the mold tooling.
Print Register Guide
Adjusts the web guide roller on a flexographic printing press, where the twin-rod design keeps the 60 mm stroke perfectly parallel to prevent paper edge tearing.
Pneumatic Clamping Fixture
Actuates a clamping mechanism on a CNC machining center, using the rear rod end to mechanically trip a physical limit flag for secondary process confirmation.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X60 the Right Cylinder?
To size this cylinder correctly, compare it with its neighbors: stepping down to the 50 mm bore reduces the equal both-way force to 881 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not possible as 63 mm is the largest MBLD size. If your application requires adjustable end-of-stroke cushioning rather than a fixed rubber bumper, select the MBLCD double-rod variant. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover mounting option. Note that a plain MBLD does not hold position without live air, as the bumper is not a locking device. For a direct replacement, match the 63 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and lack of a 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 MBLD63X60 FAQ
Because the MBLD63X60 is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal in both directions: 1457 N at 0.5 MPa, 2040 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 297 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder has a rod exiting both ends, making the extend and retract areas identical for equal force and speed both ways. The rear rod can drive a secondary mechanism or position flag. This MBLD63X60 SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot be used with electronic or reed sensors.
