The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X150-20S is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore, a 150mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 20mm for a usable window of 130–150mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X150-20S is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and an adjustable air cushion at both ends. It uses a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard-chrome plating to deliver 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG reed and DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors for precise end-of-stroke detection.
This model provides a usable stroke window of 130 to 150 mm by allowing you to trim up to 20 mm of travel at the rear stopper. Unlike the base MBLJ which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, the screw-tunable air cushions on this unit decelerate heavier loads smoothly at the stroke extremes, protecting the end covers. The riveted aluminum barrel and heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensure reliable operation in tight spaces.

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 the beating mechanism with 402 N push force, using the 130-150 mm stroke window to fine-tune the reed travel distance for varied fabric weaves.
Redirects filled containers at high speed; the adjustable air cushions absorb the kinetic energy of the 150 mm stroke, preventing sudden impacts that could spill liquids.
Secures printed circuit boards during routing operations, using the tunable end-position stopper to adapt to different panel widths without changing the cylinder.
Stepping down to the 25 mm bore drops the output to 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to the 40 mm bore increases it to 628 N. Choose this 32 mm bore when your application requires moderate force over a 150 mm stroke with controlled deceleration. The MBLCJ is preferred over the MBLJ when you need tunable cushioning rather than a fixed bumper, and over the MBLC if you require that adjustable end-position travel stop.
Remember that the rear adjuster acts as a mechanical travel stop, not a load-holding lock; the rod will drift without live air pressure. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA (flange), or LB (foot) options, as this series excludes back-cover or SDB pivot configurations. For an exact replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and the -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N push force and 346 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear stroke adjuster is a mechanical travel stop that lets you trim the usable stroke window down to 130 mm, but it does not lock or hold the load in place. The adjustable air cushion is a separate screw-tunable valve that regulates air exhaust at the end covers to decelerate the piston smoothly.
