The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X175-10 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore, a 175mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 10mm for a usable window of 165–175mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X175-10 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for precise motion control. It features a rear travel stopper allowing you to trim up to 10 mm of travel, creating a usable stroke window of 165-175 mm. Unlike the base MBLJ which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this SKU incorporates a screw-tunable adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston near the stroke extremes. Delivering 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it is built with a riveted rolling-packed barrel and a 20 um hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod.
This 32 mm bore model uses an M10x1.25 rod-end thread and a G1/8 port. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept an AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The rear stroke adjuster functions strictly as a mechanical travel stop, not a load-holding lock; the adjustable cushion only governs end-of-stroke deceleration, meaning the rod will drift if air pressure is removed. Overall length equals A plus twice the stroke plus the 10 mm adjustment range.

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.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a margin.

Governs the vertical plunge of a spindle motor on a PCB depaneling router. The 165-175 mm window hits the exact cutting depth, while the cushion prevents spindle bounce at the stroke end.
Drives a fluid dispensing nozzle down into a deep container. The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa overcomes fluid back-pressure, and the 10 mm rear trim dials in the exact submersion depth.
Actuates a fabric guide bar in a textile loom. The 175 mm stroke accommodates wide weave patterns, and the riveted aluminum barrel withstands humid production environments.
When sizing this 32 mm bore cylinder, stepping down to a 25 mm bore reduces the output to 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a 40 mm bore increases the push force to 628 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose the MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your application requires tunable end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the end covers during heavier moves, or select the MBLC if you prefer a fixed stroke without the rear adjuster. Remember that neither the rear travel stopper nor the air cushion acts as a lock; use an external guide to manage side loads on the 12 mm rod. Mounting is restricted to Basic, FA (flange), or LB (foot) configurations, as there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. For a drop-in replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, and the non-magnetized state.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 346 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa.
This SKU lacks the -S suffix, so it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The 10 mm rear adjustment is a travel stop that sets the 165-175 mm end position, not a lock; the air cushion only decelerates the piston, so the rod drifts if air is lost.
