About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X160-50
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X160-50 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear travel adjuster and tunable air cushions at both ends. It delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa through a 32 mm bore. The rear stopper allows you to trim up to 50 mm of travel, creating a usable stroke window of 110 to 160 mm for precise end-position tuning. A G1/8 port and Ø12 mm hard-chrome plated rod handle the mid-range thrust requirements.
This model uses screw-tunable end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb kinetic energy, protecting the end covers during heavier moves where a fixed rubber bumper would fail. The riveted rolling-packed barrel retains grease for a durable seal. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The rear stroke adjuster sets the travel limit but does not lock the load in place.

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X160-50 Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Lifts and lowers a spindle on a printed circuit board routing machine. The 110-160 mm stroke window allows exact depth control, while the air cushion protects the bearings from repeated 402 N routing impacts.
Packaging Flap Folder
Actuates a carton flap-folding arm in a packaging line. The rear travel stopper sets the precise fold angle for varying box sizes, and the tunable cushion prevents crushing the cardboard at high speed.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Adjusts the position of a fabric guide bar on a textile loom. The 346 N pull force maintains consistent tension, and the cushioned ends absorb the rapid directional changes without shocking the frame.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X160-50 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when an application demands exactly 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa with a 110-160 mm stroke window. If your payload is lighter, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push force, whereas stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. The MBLCJ variant is preferred over the MBLJ when higher speeds require tunable air cushioning rather than a fixed bumper, and over the MBLC when you need to trim the rear travel end.
For a direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and Basic mounting style. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor switch; if position detection is required, select the -S version. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, or LB; no back-cover or SDB pivot options exist. Since the stroke is 160 mm, the 12 mm rod is susceptible to side loading—always use an external guide to prevent rod bending.
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 MBLCJ32X160-50 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.
This specific SKU does not have a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The rear 50 mm adjustment acts as a travel stop to set the end position (usable window 110-160 mm), but it does not lock or hold the load; the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends.
