The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ20X100-75 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø20mm bore, a 100mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 75mm for a usable window of 25–100mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ20X100-75 is a compact double-acting mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and an adjustable air cushion at both ends. You can trim up to 75mm of travel at the rear, giving an effective usable stroke window of 25 to 100mm. Driven by a Ø8mm carbon-steel rod with 20µm hard-chrome plating, it delivers 157N push and 132N pull force at 0.5MPa. The riveted aluminum barrel keeps the assembly light for tight spaces, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensures lasting lubrication.
This model uses a G1/8 port and an M8x1.25 rod-end thread. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The adjustable air cushion lets you screw-tune end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the end covers from impact during faster moves, unlike the fixed rubber bumper found on the base MBLJ series. Note that the rear stopper sets the travel end position; it does not lock or hold the load in place.

The rear stopper sets the end position — it is a travel stop, not a lock. Overall length = A + 2 × stroke + adjustable stroke. MBLJ/MBLCJ mounting is Basic / FA / LB only (no SDB, no back-cover code). Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a margin.

Drives the linear blade carriage in a depaneling router; the 25-100mm stroke window allows precise depth trimming, while the air cushion protects the aluminum end covers from rapid reversals.
Actuates a fabric guide arm in a knitting machine; 157N push force maintains light tension, and the tunable cushion prevents sudden snaps that would break delicate yarns.
Powers the peel edge on a roll-fed labeling machine; the compact 20mm bore fits the tight chassis, and the cushioned stroke end prevents the mechanism from hammering itself apart during 800mm/s runs.
With a 157N push force at 0.5MPa, stepping down is not an option as this is the smallest available MBLCJ bore. If you need more force, the next size up is the 25mm bore, which provides 245N push and 206N pull at 0.5MPa. Choose this MBLCJ variant when you need tunable end-cushioning to prevent shock at stroke ends, whereas the MBLJ offers only a fixed bumper, and the MBLC provides fixed stroke lengths without the rear adjuster.
Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; the cushion only decelerates, so neither will hold a load statically without live air pressure. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA (flange), or LB (foot) styles—there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. To match this exact replacement, specify bore 20, stroke 100, adjust code 75, G1/8 port, PT thread, and no magnet. At a 100mm stroke, the 8mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads, so an external guide rail is recommended.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa, this 20mm bore cylinder provides 157N push and 132N pull. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 220N. The maximum theoretical force is 32kgf at 1.0MPa.
No. This specific SKU lacks the -S code, meaning no built-in magnet is fitted, so it cannot trigger CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The rear 75mm adjuster sets the travel end position (usable window 25-100mm), but it is a mechanical stop, not a lock.
