About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X160-20
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X160-20 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and an adjustable air cushion at both ends. A Ø12mm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod delivers 402N push and 346N pull force at 0.5MPa. The rear stopper allows you to trim up to 20mm of travel, creating a usable 140-160mm end-position window for precise machinery spacing.
This SKU has no built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel uses a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal. Tunable end-of-stroke deceleration absorbs kinetic energy from faster moves, protecting the end covers better than a fixed rubber bumper. The adjustment screw acts purely as a travel stop and does not lock the load in place.

| 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 MBLCJ32X160-20 Is Used
Textile Loom Beat-Up
Drives the 140-160mm reed motion at 402N push force, using the adjustable air cushion to soften the end-of-stroke impact and protect the loom frame during high-speed weaving.
Packaging Flap Folder
Trims the rear stroke by 20mm to perfectly fold varying carton widths without repositioning the cylinder, relying on 346N pull force to securely tuck flaps.
CNC Lathe Chip Conveyor
Actuates the 160mm debris gate on a bar feeder, utilizing the tunable cushion to prevent the 12mm rod from slamming against the end cover under heavy chip load.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X160-20 the Right Cylinder?
For lower force needs, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5MPa; for heavier payloads, stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 628N. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your cycle speed requires tunable pneumatic cushioning rather than a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC when you need a variable 140-160mm travel window. The rear adjuster sets the travel end and the cushion only decelerates; neither holds position pneumatically, so use an external lock for static load holding. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot (no SDB pivot or back cover). Exact replacement requires 32mm bore, 160mm stroke, 20mm adjust, G1/8 PT port, no magnet.
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 MBLCJ32X160-20 FAQ
At 0.5MPa, this 32mm bore cylinder provides 402N push and 346N pull force. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 563N. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa.
No, this specific MBLCJ32X160-20 SKU is manufactured without a built-in magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed switches. You would need an -S variant for position sensing.
