The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ20X150-10 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø20mm bore, a 150mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 10mm for a usable window of 140–150mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ20X150-10 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and an adjustable air cushion at both ends. A 10mm rear trimmer yields a usable 140-150mm travel window, delivering 157N push and 132N pull at 0.5MPa. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal lock in lubrication for long life.
Unlike the base MBLJ which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this SKU uses screw-tunable end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the covers during faster moves. The Ø8mm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod withstands wear, but at 150mm of travel, external guidance is recommended to prevent side-load bending on the small piston rod. This specific configuration omits the -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

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 vertical plunge of a PCB depaneling router, using the 140-150mm stroke window to fine-tune cutting depth while the air cushion softens rapid retraction stops.
Applies pressure-sensitive labels to cartons, where the 157N push force securely tamps the film without crushing the package structure.
Traverses yarn guides across a weaving loom, benefiting from the cushioned end-caps to reduce vibration and prevent thread snap-back at stroke limits.
Stepping down yields the same 157N force, while stepping up to the 25mm bore provides 245N push at 0.5MPa for heavier demands. Choose the MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your cycle speed requires tuned deceleration rather than a fixed rubber bumper, or select the MBLC if you need fixed standard stroke lengths. Remember the rear adjuster is a travel stop and the cushion only decelerates; neither holds position pneumatically, so use an external lock for drift prevention. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot (no SDB or back-cover options). For exact replacement match: 20mm bore, 150mm stroke, 10mm adjust, G1/8 port, PT thread, no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa it provides 157N push and 132N pull; at 0.7MPa the push increases to 220N. The maximum theoretical force is 32kgf at 1.0MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0MPa.
The rear 10mm stroke adjuster acts as a mechanical travel stop to set your exact 140-150mm end position, while the adjustable air cushion screw-tunes end-of-stroke deceleration. Neither component locks or holds the load pneumatically; the rod will drift without live air pressure.
