The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ25X100-40S is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore, a 100mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 40mm for a usable window of 60–100mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ25X100-40S is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and a tunable air cushion at both ends. With a 25mm bore, it delivers 245N push and 206N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The rear adjuster trims up to 40mm of travel, creating a usable 60 to 100mm stroke window for precise positioning. Unlike the fixed rubber bumper on the MBLJ, the screw-tunable air cushion here decelerates heavier loads at the stroke ends to protect the end covers.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection with CMSG reed or DMSG and EMSG solid-state switches. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining two-way piston seal contain lubrication, while the Ø10mm carbon-steel rod features 20µm hard-chrome plating for wear resistance. The rear stopper sets the travel end but does not hold the load; the cushion only decelerates. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles, as no SDB pivot or back-cover option exists.

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.

At 245N push force, this cylinder reliably pushes small cardboard cartons onto a side lane at high speed, using the 60-100mm stroke window to fine-tune the diverter gate position precisely.
The tunable air cushion ensures smooth, non-destructive clamping of delicate printed circuit boards during automated optical inspection, while the -S magnet confirms the clamp is engaged.
The 40mm rear stroke adjustment allows operators to dial in the exact travel of a fabric tensioning arm without machining new hard stops, optimizing web tension dynamically.
If you need less force, step down to the 20mm bore (157N push at 0.5MPa), or step up to the 32mm bore (402N push) for higher thrust. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your cycle speed requires tunable end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC if you need to fine-tune the travel end. To match this exact replacement, specify 25mm bore, 100mm stroke, 40mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, Basic/FA/LB mounting, and the -S magnet. Neither the rear adjuster nor the air cushion acts as a lock; use an external locking device to hold position without live air.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245N and the pull force is 206N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with an operating pressure range of 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
The 40mm rear stroke adjustment is a mechanical travel stop that sets your usable stroke window between 60 and 100mm. The adjustable air cushion is a separate screw-tunable valve that controls end-of-stroke deceleration. Neither holds the load; the cushion only slows the rod, and the stopper sets the end position.
