The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X75 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 75mm 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 MBLD63X75 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore and 75 mm stroke. Because a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on each side. This yields exactly 1457 N of force at 0.5 MPa on both extend and retract strokes, preventing the speed and force asymmetry found in single-rod designs. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensure robust, long-term lubrication for heavy-duty cycles.
This 75 mm travel length is well-suited for mid-range transfer and pressing tasks requiring high bilateral stability. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-travel impact inside the compact body, though it is not an adjustable air cushion (choose MBLCD for that feature). Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing. Furthermore, the twin rods protrude from both ends, so you must leave rear-rod clearance in your machine layout.

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-side stacker arm in a PCB handling line, using the 1457 N bilateral force to lift and lower populated boards without the rotational torque shift of a single rod.
Actuates a heavy diverting gate on a packaging conveyor, utilizing the twin-rod anti-rotation to keep the guide plate perfectly aligned across the 75 mm stroke.
Presses connector pins into housings on an electronics assembly fixture, using the rear rod end to simultaneously drive a mechanical position flag for a hard-stop cam.
To properly size this cylinder, consider stepping down to the 50 mm bore if your application only requires 881 N at 0.5 MPa, or stepping up if you need more than the 297 kgf maximum theoretical force this 63 mm bore provides at 1.0 MPa. The 63 mm bore uses a G1/4 port, matching the flow requirements of higher-force cycles. When replacing this unit, verify the 75 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread form, and Basic mounting style. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept a sensor switch.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no back-cover or SDB pivot option for the double-rod type. Keep in mind that a plain MBLD does not hold position without live air—rod drift will occur if air pressure drops. The fixed rubber bumper softens impact but does not lock the load, so external locking mechanisms are required for vertical or safety-critical holding.
Quick checklist
Because the MBLD63X75 is a double-rod cylinder, the extend and retract forces are perfectly equal. It outputs 1457 N at 0.5 MPa and 2040 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions. The maximum theoretical force is 297 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific MBLD63X75 SKU does not have the -S code, meaning it lacks a built-in magnet and cannot be used with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches. The twin rods also mean a rod exits the rear cover, which is useful for driving a mechanical cam or external flag, but you must leave rear clearance in your design.
