The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ20X150-75S 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 75mm for a usable window of 75–150mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ20X150-75S is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and an adjustable air cushion at both ends. With a 20mm bore, it delivers 157N push and 132N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The rear stopper trims up to 75mm of travel, yielding a usable stroke window of 75-150mm for precise positioning. The integrated -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG solid-state sensor switches to track rod position.
Distinguishing the two adjustment mechanisms is critical: the rear stopper sets the travel end-position, while the screw-tunable cushion regulates end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the end covers. Neither component locks the load in place. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and 20um hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod provide durable service, though the 8mm rod diameter on this 150mm stroke warrants an external guide to prevent bending under side loads.

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.

Feeds a circular saw blade at a controlled rate using the 75-150mm stroke window, relying on the adjustable air cushion to brake the 157N thrust smoothly at the cut endpoint.
Trims the exact retract distance of a fluid dispensing nozzle on an adhesive applicator, using the rear stopper to set the precise 75mm minimum travel limit.
Pushes molded plastic parts out of a machining fixture at speed, using the tunable cushion to prevent the 8mm rod from slamming the end cover at the 150mm mark.
If you need less force, the 20mm bore is the smallest available in this series, so stepping down is not an option without changing platforms. Stepping up to the 25mm bore increases output to 245N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ for tunable end-deceleration instead of a fixed rubber bumper, or over the MBLC if you need the 75mm rear stroke-trimming window. For replacements, match the 20mm bore, 150mm stroke, 75mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, Basic mounting, and the S magnet. Because the stroke is 150mm, the 8mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads—use an external guide rail.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 20mm bore cylinder provides 157N push and 132N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 220N. The maximum theoretical force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster physically stops the piston to trim travel within the 75-150mm window, while the adjustable air cushion uses screw-tunable trapped air to decelerate the load near the end covers. Neither mechanism locks or holds the load pneumatically; live air is required to maintain position.
