The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X250-10 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore, a 250mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 10mm for a usable window of 240–250mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X250-10 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 240 to 250 mm for precise end-position tuning.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper on an MBLJ, this model uses screw-tunable end-of-stroke cushioning to decelerate heavier loads smoothly, protecting the end covers. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel and 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod withstand rapid cycling. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

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.

Handles 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to deflect heavy cardboard cartons on a packaging line, using the 10 mm rear stroke adjustment to fine-tune the diverter endpoint to the millimeter.
Employs the tunable air cushion to gently decelerate the 250 mm stroke when tensioning fabric webs, preventing sudden jerks that would tear delicate threads during high-speed weaving.
Pushes populated PCBs into a testing rack with a 240-250 mm usable travel window, relying on the 346 N pull force to retract the 12 mm rod smoothly without damaging edge connectors.
Stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628 N. Choose the MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your moving mass requires active deceleration rather than a simple bumper impact, or the MBLC variant if you need a fixed 250 mm stroke without rear travel adjustment. The rear adjuster sets the travel end point and the cushion only governs deceleration speed; neither component mechanically locks or holds the load in place.
Mounting is restricted to Basic, FA, or LB styles, as this series omits the SDB pivot and back-cover options. At 250 mm, the 12 mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending, so an external guide rail is mandatory for stable operation. For a direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and confirm no magnet is required.
Quick checklist
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, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum standard stroke for a 32 mm bore is 500 mm.
This specific SKU does not have a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The rear adjuster functions only as a travel stop to trim the stroke window from 240 to 250 mm; it is not a locking mechanism, and the air cushion only governs deceleration speed, so an external lock is required to hold position.
