The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ20X175-75 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø20mm bore, a 175mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 75mm for a usable window of 100–175mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ20X175-75 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and an adjustable air cushion at both ends. It delivers 157 N push and 132 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The 75 mm rear trimmer creates a usable travel window of 100 to 175 mm, allowing you to dial in the exact extended position without machining spacers.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper on an MBLJ, the screw-tunable air cushion lets you manage end-of-stroke deceleration for faster cycling. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot host a CMSG reed or DMSG solid-state sensor. The 8 mm carbon-steel rod is hard-chrome plated (20 um) and uses a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal inside the riveted rolling-packed barrel.

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.

Dial the 100-175 mm window to push a reject gate exactly over a conveyor edge, using the tunable cushion to soften the 157 N impact at high speed.
Adjusts the extension stop precisely for varying label box widths, while the air cushion prevents the 8 mm rod from slamming during 30-800 mm/s strokes.
Trims rear travel to seat a delicate electronic connector without bottoming out, relying on the 132 N pull force to safely retract the probe.
At 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore generates 157 N push. If you need less force, there is no smaller MBL size, so you must reduce pressure. If your load requires more thrust, step up to the 25 mm bore, which provides 245 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your 175 mm travel speed requires tuned deceleration to protect the end covers, or over the MBLC if you need a variable end position.
The 75 mm rear adjuster sets the travel end-stop; it does not lock the load in place, and the cushion only decelerates, so use an external locking device for position holding. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, or LB; no SDB pivot or back-cover code is available. For a direct replacement, match the 20 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 75 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, and lack of an S magnet. With a 175 mm stroke on an 8 mm rod, add an external guide to prevent rod bending under side-loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore provides 157 N push and 132 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 220 N. The maximum theoretical force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The 75 mm rear adjuster is a travel stop that sets your usable stroke window from 100 to 175 mm. The adjustable air cushion is a screw valve that tunes end-of-stroke deceleration. Neither holds the load; the adjuster is a stop and the cushion only slows the piston.
