About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X160-100
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X160-100 is a compact double-acting mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and an adjustable air cushion at both ends. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The 100 mm rear trimmer sets a usable travel window of 60 to 160 mm, allowing you to dial in the exact end position for a specific machine cycle without machining custom spacers.
Unlike the base MBLJ which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this model uses screw-tunable end-of-stroke cushioning to decelerate heavier 32 mm bore payloads smoothly, protecting the aluminum end covers from impact shock. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod resist wear, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains lubrication over high-speed 30-800 mm/s cycles. This specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing.

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 (Ø32mm)

| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 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 MBLCJ32X160-100 Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Governs the plunge depth of a routing spindle on a printed circuit board prototyping machine, using the 60-160 mm window to micro-adjust tool depth while the air cushion prevents bounce on the 402 N retract stroke.
Pallet Diverter Arm
Actuates a routing arm on a packaging conveyor to push lightweight pallets into a secondary lane, relying on the tunable cushion to brake the 32 mm bore smoothly before it strikes the end cap.
Stator Wire Guide
Positions a wire guide on an electric motor winding machine, where the exact 100 mm adjustable trim compensates for varying stator stack heights without reprogramming the PLC.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X160-100 the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push @0.5 MPa); if your payload requires more thrust, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push @0.5 MPa). Choose this MBLCJ variant over the MBLJ when your moving mass demands tunable pneumatic deceleration rather than a fixed bumper, or pick the MBLC if your stroke length is fixed and does not need the 60-160 mm rear travel stopper. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock—it cannot hold a load in place without live air pressure, so external guiding or a separate locking mechanism is required for dead-stop positioning. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. For a direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 100 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and confirm no magnet is fitted.
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 MBLCJ32X160-100 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 346 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
The rear 100 mm stroke adjuster is a mechanical travel stop that physically limits the rod extension between 60 and 160 mm; it does not lock or hold the load. The adjustable air cushion is a separate screw-tunable valve that bleeds trapped air to decelerate the piston near the end of its stroke, preventing hard impacts.
