The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ25X300-40S is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore, a 300mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 40mm for a usable window of 260–300mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ25X300-40S 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 40 mm rear adjuster allows you to fine-tune the travel window anywhere between 260 mm and 300 mm. This 300 mm stroke reaches the maximum standard limit for a 25 mm bore, making the integrated magnet (-S) highly useful for timing end-of-stroke signals.
Unlike the base MBLJ which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this model uses screw-tunable pneumatic cushioning to decelerate heavy loads smoothly before impact. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel pairs with a grease-retaining two-way piston seal and a Ø10 mm carbon-steel rod plated with 20 µm hard chrome. Keep in mind the rear stopper sets the travel end but does not lock the load, and the cushion only absorbs kinetic energy, not static force.

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.

Tunes the 260-300 mm extension to push populated PCB panels precisely into testing lanes, using the adjustable air cushion to prevent sudden stops from dislodging surface-mount components.
Trims the rear stroke by 40 mm to perfectly time the routing gate on a beverage filling line, absorbing the kinetic energy of the rod extension to protect the aluminum end covers.
Provides 245 N of pull at 0.5 MPa to maintain yarn tension on a high-speed loom, using the integrated magnet to trigger a DMSG sensor for rapid stroke-cycle counting.
At 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore generates 245 N push and 206 N pull. If you need less force, step down to the 20 mm bore (157 N push), or step up to the 32 mm bore (402 N push) for heavier payloads. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your moving mass requires tunable end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC when you need a rear travel stopper rather than a fixed total length.
Because the 300 mm stroke is the maximum standard limit for this bore, the Ø10 mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending over this distance; an external guide rail is strongly recommended. This cylinder lacks a back-cover option and cannot use an SDB pivot; mounting is limited to Basic, FA (flange), or LB (foot). For a direct replacement, match the 25 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, and the -S magnet. The -S code allows solid-state DMSG or EMSG electronic sensors to track position, whereas a non-S SKU cannot accept any switch.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245 N and the pull force is 206 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
The 40 mm rear adjuster is a mechanical travel stop that lets you set the usable extension window between 260 mm and 300 mm. The adjustable air cushion is a screw-tunable pneumatic valve that decelerates the piston near the end caps. Neither the stopper nor the cushion locks the load in place; you need live air or an external lock to hold position.
