About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ25X160-10S
The AirTAC MBLCJ25X160-10S is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and a tunable air cushion at both ends. It delivers 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The rear stopper allows you to trim up to 10 mm of travel, providing a usable stroke window of 150 to 160 mm. This makes it highly effective for refining end positions on packaging equipment where a 160 mm standard stroke is slightly too long.
Unlike the base MBLJ which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this model uses screw-tunable pneumatic cushioning to decelerate the rod smoothly near the stroke ends, protecting the end covers during faster cycling. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel houses a Ø10 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating, while a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains lubrication. The built-in magnet (-S) enables precise rod position detection using CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG solid-state switches.

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)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 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 MBLCJ25X160-10S Is Used
Carton Flap Folding
Drives a folding mechanism on case erecting lines, using the 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa to tuck flaps securely while the adjustable cushion prevents harsh impact at 160 mm extension.
Label Applicator Gap
Trims the 10 mm rear stroke window to set a precise 155 mm feed gap on a labeling head, allowing rapid format changes without moving the cylinder's physical mounting block.
Reed Switch Positioning
Utilizes the built-in magnet with a CMSG reed switch to confirm retraction on a textile loom stopper, ensuring the 206 N pull force has fully cleared the feed path before the next cycle.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ25X160-10S the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, stepping down to the 20 mm bore yields 157 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the 32 mm bore provides 402 N push. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your moving mass requires tunable end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a fixed bumper impact, or over the MBLC if you need on-the-fly stroke length trimming. The rear adjuster sets the travel end and the cushion only decelerates; neither component locks or holds the load, so external locking mechanisms are required for static positioning. Mounting is restricted to Basic, FA (flange), or LB (foot) brackets—SDB pivot or back-cover options are not available on this body type. For a direct replacement, match the 25 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread form, and the -S magnet specification. Because the stroke is 160 mm, use an external guide to prevent side-load bending on the 10 mm rod.
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 MBLCJ25X160-10S 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 increases to 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The rear stroke adjuster physically stops the piston to trim travel within a 150-160 mm window, but it does not hold the load. The adjustable air cushion uses a screw valve to meter exhaust air, decelerating the piston near the end covers to reduce impact shock; it also does not lock the rod.
