The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ20X200-100S is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø20mm bore, a 200mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 100mm for a usable window of 100–200mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ20X200-100S is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and a screw-tunable air cushion at both ends. It delivers 157 N of push force and 132 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The 100 mm adjuster code trims the rear travel stop, creating a usable 100-200 mm stroke window for precise end-positioning.
This model includes a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. Unlike the fixed rubber bumper on an MBLJ, the adjustable air cushion allows you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration for faster cycling while protecting the covers. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and 20 um hard-chrome plated Ø8 carbon-steel rod handle speeds up to 800 mm/s.

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 100-200 mm window, using the tunable air cushion to decelerate the 157 N push force before the cut finishes, preventing board edge chipping.
Drives a precision needle valve for two-part epoxy, relying on the rear stopper to set the exact shot size and the DMSG electronic sensor to confirm the dispense stroke completed.
Acts as a floating tension arm in a wire drawing machine, using the 132 N pull force to maintain constant tension while the cushion absorbs rapid direction changes without shock.
For lower force needs, stepping down to the 20 mm bore's only smaller neighbour is not an option, but stepping up to a 25 mm bore yields 245 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when you need tunable end-deceleration rather than a fixed bumper, or over an MBLC when you require a rear travel stopper. Remember, the rear adjuster is a mechanical travel stop, and the cushion only decelerates; neither holds the load, so use an external guide for the long 200 mm stroke. Replacement matches: 20 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 100 mm adjust, G1/8 port, PT thread, Basic/FA/LB mounting, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore cylinder provides 157 N push and 132 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 220 N. The maximum theoretical force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with an operating pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa.
The 100 mm adjustable stroke is a rear mechanical stopper that sets your travel end within a 100-200 mm window, but it does not lock or hold the load. The adjustable air cushion is a separate screw that tunes end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the end covers; it is not a brake.
