About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ20X160-75
The AirTAC MBLCJ20X160-75 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and screw-tunable air cushions at both ends. It delivers 157 N of push force and 132 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The rear stopper allows you to trim up to 75 mm of travel, creating a usable operating window of 85 to 160 mm for exact endpoint positioning.
This 20 mm bore unit uses a G1/8 port and an Ø8 mm hard-chrome plated carbon steel rod. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining piston seal ensure consistent friction, while the adjustable cushioning absorbs kinetic energy at the stroke ends to prevent end-cover damage during faster cycling.

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ20X160-75 Is Used
PCB Edge Routing Trimmer
Uses the 85-160 mm adjustable stroke window to dial in the exact cutting depth for router spindles on printed circuit board panels, relying on the 157 N thrust to hold the tool plate.
Microfluidic Valve Actuation
Tunes the rear stopper to pinch manifold valves precisely without over-traveling, while the adjustable air cushion prevents shock to the delicate manifold block at the end of the 160 mm extension.
Label Applicator Tamp Head
Drives a tamp pad down to apply labels at varying box heights, using the dual end cushions to softly decelerate the pad and prevent label skewing during high-speed packaging runs.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ20X160-75 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 20 mm bore when you need 157 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa with fine endpoint tuning. If your application requires less force, the smaller 12 mm bore classes offer lower output; if you need substantially more power, stepping up to a 25 mm bore provides 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Compared to the MBLJ series which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this MBLCJ model utilizes adjustable air cushions to finely tune end-of-stroke deceleration for heavier loads.
The rear adjuster acts strictly as a mechanical travel stop and does not lock or hold the load in place, meaning external locking mechanisms are required for fail-safe positioning. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles, as rear SDB pivots and back-cover options are not available. To replace this unit, match the 20 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 75 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT thread, and confirm no magnet is required. With a 160 mm stroke on an Ø8 mm rod, adding an external guide rail is recommended to prevent rod bending under lateral loads.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Adjustable window fits your end position
- ✓ Adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — add a guide on long strokes
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Set the rear stopper for the end position (a travel stop, not a lock).
- check Avoid side load; add an external guide on long strokes.
- check Mounting: Basic / FA flange / LB foot (no SDB, no back-cover code).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ20X160-75 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore cylinder provides 157 N of push force and 132 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 220 N. The maximum theoretical force is 32 kgf at the 1.0 MPa operating limit, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
This specific SKU does not have a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. Additionally, the 75 mm rear adjuster is strictly a travel stop that sets the 85-160 mm stroke window; it does not lock or hold the load, and the air cushions only decelerate the piston without braking.
