About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X30-20
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X30-20 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 20 mm rear adjuster creates a usable stroke window of 10 to 30 mm, allowing you to dial in the exact end position for short-travel tasks.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper found on the base MBLJ series, the screw-tunable air cushion on this MBLCJ variant lets you regulate end-of-stroke deceleration, absorbing kinetic energy to protect the end covers during faster or heavier moves. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel pairs with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal, while the Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 µm hard-chrome plating for wear resistance. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot accommodate a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X30-20 Is Used
PCB Drill Head Stop
Provides a precise 10-30 mm mechanical stop for a drill head, utilizing the 402 N push force to set Z-axis depth on printed circuit board routing machines.
Small Press Tonnage
Dials in clamping pressure for delicate plastic injection mold inserts, using the tunable air cushion to prevent impact damage during the short 30 mm travel.
Gripper Jaw Actuation
Drives short-stroke robotic gripper jaws, where the compact riveted aluminum body saves space and the cushion ensures smooth jaw closure without snatching.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X30-20 the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down to a 25 mm bore lowers the output to 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a 40 mm bore increases it to 628 N. Choose this 32 mm bore when your payload requires moderate force within a tight 10-30 mm travel window. The MBLCJ is preferred over the MBLJ when shock absorption is critical, and over the MBLC when you need that travel adjustment flexibility.
Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, and the cushion only decelerates; neither mechanism locks or holds the load, so external guidance is required for position holding. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA (flange), or LB (foot) styles, as this series omits the SDB pivot and back-cover options. For a direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 30 mm nominal stroke, 20 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and confirm no magnet is fitted.
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 MBLCJ32X30-20 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.
The 20 mm rear adjuster acts as a mechanical travel stop, letting you trim the usable stroke down to a 10 mm minimum window. The adjustable air cushion is a screw-tunable valve that controls exhaust flow to decelerate the piston near the end covers. Neither feature locks or holds the load in place.
