The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ25X160-100S 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 MBLCJ25X160-100S 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 -100S adjustment code means you can trim up to 100 mm of rear travel, creating a usable stroke window of 60 to 160 mm. This makes it highly effective for operations requiring variable end-positioning without swapping out the entire actuator.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), it supports CMSG reed and DMSG or EMSG electronic sensor switches for precise rod-position detection. Unlike the standard MBLJ which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this model uses screw-tunable air cushions to decelerate heavier loads smoothly at each end of travel. The cushion only controls deceleration and the rear stopper sets the travel end; neither component acts as a mechanical lock to hold the load in place without live air pressure.

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.

Provides 245 N of push force to halt cardboard cartons on a packaging conveyor, using the 60-160 mm stroke window to vary the stop position on the fly.
The adjustable air cushion decelerates the 160 mm travel at the end of extension, preventing shock loads when transferring delicate electronic PCBs.
Uses the built-in magnet with a DMSG sensor to confirm rod position for thread tensioning arms, operating reliably at cycle speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Stepping down to the 20 mm bore reduces the output to 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, suitable for lighter duties, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore increases thrust to 402 N for heavier masses. Choose this MBLCJ variant over the MBLJ when your application requires tunable end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC when you need the 100 mm rear travel adjustment window. Mounting is restricted to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; the SDB pivot and back-cover options are unavailable on this chassis. For an exact replacement, match the 25 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 100 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and the -S magnet. Because the overall length extends by the adjustment distance, ensure your layout accommodates the longer body.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore cylinder provides 245 N push and 206 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The adjustable stroke is a rear travel stopper that lets you trim the end position within a 60 to 160 mm window. The adjustable air cushion is a screw-tunable valve that controls deceleration near the stroke ends. Neither holds the load without air pressure; use an external lock for position holding.
