The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X450-30 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore, a 450mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 30mm for a usable window of 420–450mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X450-30 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and tunable air cushions at both ends. It delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa through a 12 mm hard-chrome plated rod. The rear stopper allows you to trim up to 30 mm of travel, creating a precise 420-450 mm usable stroke window for varying end positions.
Because this 450 mm stroke approaches the 500 mm maximum limit for a 32 mm bore, the relatively small 12 mm rod requires external guidance to prevent side-load bending. The riveted aluminum barrel and grease-retaining piston seal ensure longevity. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors without physical modification.

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.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a margin.

Uses the 420-450 mm adjustable stroke window to precisely set the beam indexing distance, while the air cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of the heavy yarn beam at end-of-stroke.
Transfers PCB racks along a 450 mm path; the tunable cushion prevents sudden jolts that could dislodge delicate components, and the external guide handles the long rod extension.
Folds heavy cardboard flaps on a packaging line, using the 402 N push force to overcome board stiffness while the rear adjuster dials in the exact fold depth.
When sizing this 32 mm bore (402 N push @0.5 MPa), step down to the 25 mm bore if your load requires only 245 N, or step up to the 40 mm bore for 628 N of thrust. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your moving mass requires screw-tunable end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the end covers, rather than a fixed rubber bumper. Compared to the MBLC, this model adds the rear travel stopper. Remember that the adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it does not hold the load, and the cushion only decelerates. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, or LB (no SDB or back-cover options). The exact replacement match is a 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, without a magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 563 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The rear adjuster trims up to 30 mm of travel, giving a usable stroke window of 420-450 mm.
No. This specific SKU does not have the -S code, meaning it lacks a built-in magnet. It cannot trigger AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (electronic) switches. You would need the MBLCJ32X450-30S variant for position detection.
