About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X400-40S
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X400-40S 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 force at 0.5 MPa through a Ø12 mm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod. The 40 mm adjustment code lets you trim the rear travel, creating a usable stroke window of 360-400 mm to fine-tune end positions. The integrated magnet (-S) supports CMSG reed and DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors for precise position feedback.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper on the MBLJ, the screw-tunable air cushion on this SKU decelerates heavy 400 mm moves, protecting the end covers from impact. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel and heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintain consistent lubrication. Remember that the rear stopper sets the travel end; it does not lock the load, and the cushion only decelerates. An external guide is highly recommended for this 400 mm stroke to prevent rod bending from side loads.

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X400-40S Is Used
PCB Conveyor Stopping
Acts as an adjustable stop gate on a PCB conveyor line, using the 360-400 mm stroke window to index varying board widths while the cushion softens the stop impact.
Textile Loom Tensioning
Regulates fabric tension on a textile loom; the tunable air cushion prevents sudden jerk at the 400 mm stroke end, protecting delicate yarn from snapping.
Packaging Flap Folding
Drives a carton flap-folding arm in a packaging machine, leveraging the 402 N push force to bend heavy cardboard while the magnet confirms arm retraction.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X400-40S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore cylinder, you can step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter duties, or step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push @0.5 MPa) for heavier loads. Choose the MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your application requires tunable end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC when you need the 360-400 mm rear travel adjustment window. The rear adjuster is a mechanical travel stop, not a lock; it will not hold position without live air pressure, so use an external locking device if the load must be held. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA (flange), or LB (foot) brackets; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. For exact replacement matching, confirm the 32 mm bore, 400 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread form, and the built-in 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 MBLCJ32X400-40S FAQ
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 is 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjustable stroke is a mechanical travel stop that lets you trim the end position within a 360-400 mm window. The adjustable air cushion is a screw-tunable valve that decelerates the piston near the end covers. Neither of these features locks or holds the load; the cylinder requires live air to maintain position.
