The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ20X125-20S is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø20mm bore, a 125mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 20mm for a usable window of 105–125mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ20X125-20S is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear adjustable stroke and a tunable air cushion at both ends. It delivers 157 N of push force and 132 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor switches for precise position detection.
This specific SKU allows you to trim up to 20 mm of travel at the rear, creating a usable stroke window of 105 to 125 mm. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel and 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod provide durable service. The adjustable air cushion lets you screw-tune end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the end covers during faster moves, while the rear stopper sets your travel end without locking 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.

Drives a circular blade carriage through scored circuit boards; the 105-125 mm adjustable window sets the exact cut depth, while the 157 N push force cleanly slices FR4 fiberglass substrates.
Indexes a capping head onto plastic bottle threads; the tunable air cushion softens the 125 mm extension stop to prevent cracking thin-walled PET caps at high cycle rates.
Feeds copper wire through a die before a shear cuts it; the 132 N pull force retracts the clamp, and the built-in magnet triggers a DMSG solid-state sensor to confirm the wire is stripped.
Stepping down to the 20 mm bore is your best option when a 16 mm bore cannot provide enough thrust, though you would step up to a 25 mm bore (245 N push @0.5 MPa) if you need significantly more force. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when you need tunable air cushioning instead of a fixed rubber bumper, or over the MBLC when you require the 105-125 mm adjustable travel window. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; the cylinder cannot hold position without live air. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, or LB; no SDB or back-cover options exist. For a direct replacement, match the 20 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and the -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 157 N and the pull force is 132 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 220 N. The maximum theoretical force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The adjustable stroke lets you trim up to 20 mm at the rear, giving a usable travel window of 105 to 125 mm. The adjustable air cushion is a screw-tunable valve that controls end-of-stroke deceleration. Neither feature locks the load; the rod drifts without live air pressure.
