About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ25X160-10
The AirTAC MBLCJ25X160-10 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 10 mm rear trimmer sets a usable travel window of 150 to 160 mm, ideal for fine-tuning the end position on a 160 mm stroke. A G1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod end thread secure the pneumatic supply and load linkage.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper found on the base MBLJ series, the screw-tunable air cushion on this unit allows you to regulate end-of-stroke deceleration, absorbing kinetic energy to protect the end covers during faster or heavier moves. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel and heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintain smooth operation, while the Ø10 carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear resistance. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø25mm)

|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a margin.

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ25X160-10 Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis Damping
Tuning the air cushion softens the 245 N thrust impact at the 160 mm stroke end, preventing aluminum frame deflection during rapid router head plunges.
Dispenser Nozzle Positioning
The 10 mm rear adjuster dials in the exact 150-160 mm retraction height for a syringe nozzle, ensuring consistent fluid dot spacing without reprogramming the PLC.
Small-Part Ejector Gate
Provides 206 N of pull force to retract a sorting flap on a 160 mm cycle, with the cushion absorbing the snap-return shock to protect the riveted aluminum barrel.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ25X160-10 the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore generates 245 N push and 206 N pull force. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 20 mm bore yields 157 N push, while moving up to the 32 mm bore provides 402 N push for heavier loads. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your dynamics require tunable end-cushioning rather than a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC if you need the 10 mm rear travel adjustment rather than a fixed stroke length.
Remember that the rear adjuster acts as a mechanical travel stop, not a lock, and the air cushion only decelerates the load; neither will hold a load in place without live air pressure, so external locking mechanisms are required for static holding. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles, as this series omits the SDB pivot and back-cover options. The overall length equals A plus 2 x 160 mm plus the 10 mm adjuster. To match this exact replacement, specify: 25 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT thread, no magnet, and standard Basic mounting.
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 MBLCJ25X160-10 FAQ
This 25 mm bore cylinder delivers 245 N push and 206 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, 343 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical output of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure, supports speeds of 30-800 mm/s, and uses a G1/8 port with an M10x1.25 rod thread.
This specific SKU lacks the -S code for a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The 10 mm rear stroke adjuster is a mechanical travel stop that lets you trim the usable stroke window down to 150 mm; it sets the end position but does not lock or hold the load in place.
