The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X125-20 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore, a 125mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 20mm for a usable window of 105–125mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X125-20 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and screw-tunable air cushions at both ends. You can trim up to 20mm of travel at the rear, yielding a usable stroke window of 105-125mm. Driven by a Ø12mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard-chrome plating, it delivers 402N push and 346N pull force at 0.5MPa, making it well-suited for mid-range actuation over a 125mm run.
This model uses a riveted rolling-packed barrel and a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal to maintain lubrication over high cycle counts. The adjustable air cushion lets you dial in end-of-stroke deceleration for heavier loads, protecting the end covers where a fixed bumper would fail. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet (-S), so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

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.

Lifts and lowers a high-speed spindle on a printed circuit board depaneling machine, using the 105-125mm stroke window to dial in exact cutting depth while the air cushion prevents snap-back at the 125mm extension.
Actuates a fabric guide arm on a loom, leveraging the 402N push force to maintain web tension; the adjustable cushion softens the 125mm stroke end to protect the riveted aluminum barrel from shock.
Drives a capping head onto plastic bottle threads on a rotary filling line, using the 20mm rear stopper to precisely set the final capping torque distance without bottoming out the mechanism.
If you need less force, step down to the 25mm bore (245N push at 0.5MPa); if your payload requires more thrust, step up to the 40mm bore (628N push at 0.5MPa). Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your moving mass demands tunable pneumatic deceleration rather than a fixed rubber bumper, or over the MBLC when you need to fine-tune the end position.
Remember that the rear adjuster is strictly a travel stop, not a lock, and the cushion only decelerates; neither will hold a load in place without live air pressure. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles (no SDB pivot or back-cover options are available). To replace this unit, match the 32mm bore, 125mm stroke, 20mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and confirm no magnet is required.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa, this 32mm bore cylinder provides 402N push force and 346N pull force. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 563N. The theoretical maximum force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa.
The rear adjuster physically stops the piston to trim up to 20mm of travel (usable window 105-125mm), while the adjustable air cushion uses screw-tunable trapped air to decelerate the load near the stroke ends. Neither mechanism locks or holds the load in place; you need live air or an external lock for position holding.
