The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X40-40 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore, a 40mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 40mm for a usable window of 0–40mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X40-40 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 push and 346 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The rear stopper allows you to trim up to 40 mm of travel, creating a usable 0 to 40 mm stroke window for precise positioning. Unlike the fixed rubber bumper on an MBLJ, the screw-tunable cushion lets you dial in end-of-stroke deceleration for heavier moving loads, protecting the end covers from impact.
This SKU uses a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating and a G1/8 port. It lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal keep it compact and durable in tight spaces. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a load lock; the cushion only decelerates, so external guides are needed to hold a load in place.

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.

Lifts a high-speed PCB routing spindle with 402 N of force, using the 0-40 mm stroke trim to set the exact Z-axis cutting depth and the air cushion to stop the rapid descent smoothly.
Applies exactly 346 N of pull force to torque bottle caps, relying on the adjustable stroke window to accommodate varying container heights without changing the entire actuator setup.
Kicks finished machined aluminum parts out of a CNC lathe, using the tunable cushion to absorb the shock of the 0-40 mm stroke end and prevent end-cover damage during high-speed ejection.
If you need less force, the 25 mm bore provides 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N. Choose this MBLCJ model over the MBLJ when your application requires tunable end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC when you need that rear travel stopper to trim the 0-40 mm window. Neither the cushion nor the stopper acts as a brake or lock, so live air is required to hold position. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA (flange), or LB (foot) brackets; no SDB pivot or back-cover options exist. For a direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT thread, and confirm no magnet is fitted.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder 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 rear stroke adjuster is a mechanical travel stop that trims the usable stroke window down to 0-40 mm. The adjustable air cushion is a screw-tunable valve that controls end-of-stroke deceleration. Neither holds the load in place; they only set the end point and slow the speed.
