About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X250-20
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X250-20 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 integrated rear stopper allows you to trim up to 20 mm of travel, creating a precise usable stroke window of 230 to 250 mm for this 250 mm nominal length.
Unlike the base MBLJ which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this model uses screw-tunable end-of-stroke cushioning to decelerate heavier loads smoothly and protect the end covers. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal retain lubrication over a high 30-800 mm/s speed range. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X250-20 Is Used
Textile Loom Let-off
Regulates fabric tension on a weaving loom, using the 230-250 mm stroke window to fine-tune yarn feed while the air cushion absorbs the high-frequency rod reversals.
Pallet Divert Arm
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging conveyor, where the 402 N push force easily overcomes carton drag and the cushion prevents end-cover slam during rapid cycling.
Dispenser Head Lift
Raises and lowers an adhesive dispensing head, trimming the exact dispense height via the rear stopper without relying on the cushion to lock the rod in place.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X250-20 the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down, the 25 mm bore yields 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. Choose this 32 mm model for mid-range actuation where the 230-250 mm adjustable window and tunable cushioning outperform the fixed-stroke MBLC. The rear adjuster sets the travel end-point and the cushion only decelerates; neither holds the load, so external locking is needed for position holding. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot (no SDB or back-cover options), and the overall length equals A + 2 x stroke + adjust. For exact replacements, match the 32 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and 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 MBLCJ32X250-20 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore provides 402 N push and 346 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The adjustable stroke uses a rear travel stopper to trim the end position, giving a usable window of 230-250 mm for this SKU. The adjustable air cushion is a screw-tunable valve that decelerates the piston near the end covers. Neither holds the load in place; the cushion is for deceleration and the stopper just sets the travel endpoint.
