The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X225-20 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore, a 225mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 20mm for a usable window of 205–225mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X225-20 is a compact, double-acting mini cylinder featuring a rear travel stopper that permits a 20 mm trim, yielding a usable extension window of 205 to 225 mm. It integrates a screw-tunable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the rod smoothly, protecting the end covers during high-speed operations. Driven by a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod, it delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
This specific configuration omits the built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors without a physical switch replacement. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel and heterogeneous grease-retaining piston seal ensure stable friction characteristics, while the 20 µm hard-chrome plating on the rod resists scuffing. Remember, the rear stopper sets the travel end and the cushion only decelerates; neither component mechanically locks or holds the load in place without continuous air pressure.

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.

Drives a spindle carriage up and down; the 205-225 mm window allows precise depth calibration for cutting various board thicknesses, while the air cushion prevents carriage bounce at stroke end.
Applies 402 N of downward clamping force to secure aluminum caps onto glass bottles, using the adjustable stroke to accommodate different container neck heights without changing the entire fixture.
Extends to position a fabric edge-guide roller on automated looms, relying on the tunable cushion to softly decelerate the 225 mm move and avoid snapping delicate yarns.
Delivering 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore suits medium-duty tasks; if you need less force, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push), or move up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push) for heavier loads. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your application speed demands tunable end-deceleration rather than a fixed rubber bumper, or over the MBLC if you need to fine-tune the rear travel end within the 205-225 mm window. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical travel stop, and the pneumatic cushion only bleeds off velocity—neither will hold a load statically without live air, so external locking mechanisms are required for fail-safe positioning. Mounting is restricted to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles (no SDB pivot or back-cover options are available). For a direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and confirm no magnet is fitted. Given the 225 mm stroke on a Ø12 mm rod, external guide rails are highly recommended to prevent rod bending under side-loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore provides 402 N push and 346 N pull force; at 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The rear adjuster is a travel stop and the air cushion only decelerates motion; neither component locks the load, so the rod will drift without live air pressure.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S code, meaning no internal magnet is fitted. It cannot trigger AirTAC CMSG (reed), DMSG, or EMSG (solid-state electronic) switches. You must select an -S variant or use an external physical sensor for position detection.
