The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ25X160-100 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore, a 160mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 100mm for a usable window of 60–160mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ25X160-100 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and an adjustable air cushion at both ends. It uses a G1/8 port and a Ø10 mm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod with an M10x1.25 end thread. Delivering 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa, it is built for precise mid-range actuation. The rear adjuster allows you to trim up to 100 mm of travel, creating a usable stroke window of 60 to 160 mm. This lets you fine-tune the end position without machining hard stops.
Unlike the base MBLJ which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this model uses screw-tunable air cushioning to decelerate the piston near the end caps. This protects the end covers during faster or heavier moves. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining piston seal maintain consistent lubrication. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The rear adjuster acts as a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but does not hold the load, which requires live air pressure or an external guide.

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.

Provides 245 N of push force to drive a depaneling blade carriage through a 160 mm travel path, using the 100 mm rear adjuster to set the exact cutting depth limit.
Uses the 60-160 mm adjustable window to dial in the exact extension for a glue or resin dispenser head, while the air cushion prevents jarring at stroke ends.
Ejects machined aluminum parts from a CNC fixture, using the 206 N pull force to retract the rod and clear the workspace before the next cycle.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, consider stepping down to the 20 mm bore if your application requires less than 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or stepping up to the 32 mm bore for heavier loads needing 402 N. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when you need tunable end-of-stroke deceleration instead of a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC if you require a rear travel adjuster to fine-tune the 60-160 mm stroke window. Remember that the adjustable stroke screw is a travel stop, not a lock, and the cushion only decelerates; neither will hold a load in place without continuous air pressure. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot options, as this series does not support SDB pivot or back-cover mounts. For a direct replacement, match the 25 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 100 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT thread, and confirm no magnet is required.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder delivers 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343 N push at 0.7 MPa, and reaches a maximum theoretical output of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not have the -S code, meaning it lacks a built-in magnet and cannot accept AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches for rod position detection.
