The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ25X225-20 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore, a 225mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 20mm for a usable window of 205–225mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ25X225-20 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 push and 206 N pull force at 0.5 MPa through a 25 mm bore. The rear stopper lets you trim up to 20 mm of travel, creating a usable 205 to 225 mm stroke window for precise end-positioning.
Twin screw-tunable cushions decelerate the rod near each end-cap, absorbing kinetic energy to protect the end covers and allow faster cycle speeds than a fixed rubber bumper. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod provide durable service. This specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. Thread form is PT.

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.

Drives a 225 mm shuttle stroke in PCB handling equipment, using the 20 mm rear trim to set exact board handoff positions and the air cushion to halt the 245 N push smoothly.
Positions yarn guides in textile machinery, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent sudden jerks at the end of a long stroke, protecting delicate fibers from snapping.
Ejects molded plastic parts from a press, using the 205-225 mm travel window to accommodate varying mold depths without repositioning the entire cylinder assembly.
Stepping down, the 20 mm bore variant yields 157 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter duties, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore provides 402 N for heavier loads. Choose the MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your cycle speed requires tunable end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a fixed bumper, or pick the MBLC if you need a fixed standard stroke without the rear adjuster. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it will not hold a load statically. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, or LB styles as there is no SDB or back-cover option. For a direct replacement, match the 25 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and no magnet. At 225 mm, the 10 mm rod is susceptible to side-load bending, so use an external guide.
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.
No, this specific SKU lacks the built-in -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors. You would need the MBLCJ25X225-20S variant for position feedback capabilities.
