About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ25X160-100S
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.

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ25X160-100S Is Used
Indexing Conveyor Stops
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.
Pick-and-Place Dampening
The adjustable air cushion decelerates the 160 mm travel at the end of extension, preventing shock loads when transferring delicate electronic PCBs.
Textile Loom Tensioning
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.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ25X160-100S the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 MBLCJ25X160-100S FAQ
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.
