The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ25X150-50S is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore, a 150mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 50mm for a usable window of 100–150mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ25X150-50S is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and an adjustable air cushion at both ends. It delivers 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The -50S adjustment code allows you to trim up to 50 mm of travel at the rear, creating a usable stroke window of 100 to 150 mm. This tunable end-position travel is highly beneficial for applications requiring exact feeding distances.
Unlike the base MBLJ which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this model features screw-tunable air cushions that decelerate the piston near the stroke ends, absorbing kinetic energy to protect the end covers during faster cycling. The riveted rolling-packed barrel houses a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal and a carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard-chrome plating. Fitted with a built-in magnet (-S), it supports AirTAC CMSG (reed), DMSG, and EMSG (solid-state) sensor switches for position detection. The standard PT thread and G1/8 port integrate seamlessly into existing pneumatic setups.

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.

The 245 N push force and exact 100-150 mm stroke window provide the precise travel needed to press pin headers into circuit boards without cracking the substrate.
Tunable end-of-stroke air cushions allow the piston to decelerate smoothly while guiding yarn carriers, preventing sudden snaps and maintaining consistent tension.
The 343 N push force at 0.7 MPa delivers reliable ejection of molded plastic parts from small cavities, while the magnet enables cycle counting via a DMSG sensor.
When sizing this bore, consider stepping down to the 20 mm version (157 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or up to the 32 mm bore (402 N push @0.5 MPa) if your payload requires greater thrust. Choose the MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your cycle speeds demand tunable deceleration rather than a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC if you need custom end-positioning rather than a fixed stroke. Keep in mind the rear stopper sets the travel end but does not hold the load, and the air cushion only decelerates; neither acts as a lock, so external holding mechanisms are needed for position retention under load.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA (flange), or LB (foot) styles; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option available. The overall length equals A + 2 x stroke + adjust, meaning this 150 mm stroke with a 50 mm adjuster yields a longer physical footprint. For an exact replacement, match the 25 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, FA/LB mounting, and the -S magnet. Because the stroke is 150 mm, the 10 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads, requiring an external guide to prevent premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 245 N push and 206 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -50S adjuster allows trimming up to 50 mm of rear travel, creating a usable stroke window of 100 to 150 mm.
The adjustable stroke is a rear travel stopper that physically limits the end position within the 100-150 mm window, but it does not lock or hold the load. The adjustable air cushion is a screw-tunable deceleration mechanism that slows the piston near the end covers to prevent impact damage, functioning separately from the stroke stopper.
