About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X160-10S
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X160-10S is a compact double-acting aluminum 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 rear stopper allows you to trim up to 10 mm of travel, creating a usable stroke window of 150 to 160 mm for exact end-position tuning.
This model uses a G1/8 port, a Ø12 mm hard-chrome plated carbon steel rod, and a riveted rolling-packed barrel for tight spaces. The integrated -S magnet enables position detection with CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches. Unlike the MBLJ bumper version, the screw-tunable cushion valves decelerate heavier loads smoothly to protect the end covers.
The adjustable cushion valves regulate exhaust flow at the stroke extremes to absorb kinetic energy, while the rear adjuster physically halts the piston. Neither component locks the rod in place; an external guide or locking device is required to hold a load against drift.

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)

|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 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 MBLCJ32X160-10S Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Governs the 150-160 mm plunge depth on a printed circuit board routing spindle, using the tunable cushion to soften the stop and the 402 N force to lift the router motor.
Carton Flap Folder
Coordinates the 160 mm folding arm on a packaging line, where the rear adjuster trims the 10 mm window for carton width variations and the cushion prevents jarring impacts.
Textile Beam Lifter
Raises and lowers fabric guide rollers using 346 N of pull force, relying on the -S magnet to trigger DMSG electronic sensors for precise vertical positioning.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X160-10S the Right Cylinder?
For lower force requirements, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628 N. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ if your 160 mm stroke generates too much end-impact for a fixed rubber bumper, or over the MBLC if you need to fine-tune the end position. The overall length equals A + 2 x stroke + adjust, and because 160 mm is a long travel distance for a Ø12 mm rod, external side-load guidance is recommended to prevent rod bending.
Mounting is strictly limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles; no back-cover or SDB pivot options exist. The exact replacement match requires a 32 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT thread, and the built-in magnet. The rear travel stopper sets the end position but does not mechanically hold the load.
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 MBLCJ32X160-10S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The adjustable stroke uses a rear mechanical stopper to trim the travel window down to 150 mm from the 160 mm nominal length. The adjustable air cushion uses needle valves to tune end-of-stroke deceleration. Neither feature locks the rod; external mechanics must hold the load.
