The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X450-50S 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 50mm for a usable window of 400–450mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X450-50S is a double-acting, single-rod mini cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 450mm stroke. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull force at 0.5MPa, with a rear adjustable stroke stopper allowing you to trim the travel by 50mm, creating a usable 400-450mm end-position window. A built-in magnet (-S) enables position detection with CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper on an MBLJ, this model uses screw-tunable air cushions at both ends to decelerate heavy loads before impact. The riveted aluminum barrel and 20um hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod withstand high cycle speeds up to 800mm/s. Because the 450mm stroke is near the 500mm limit for this bore, the 12mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending and requires an external guide rail.

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.

Decelerates a 400N loaded pallet at the end of a 450mm transfer line, using the tuned air cushion to prevent impact damage while the 400-450mm stroke window sets the exact stop height.
Drives a lightweight woodworking router head up and down, relying on the 12mm hard-chrome rod and external linear rail to resist side loads during 450mm plunge routing operations.
Trims the stroke by 50mm to position an adhesive dispensing nozzle precisely over varying product heights, using the DMSG electronic sensor to trigger the shot at the exact 400mm mark.
For lower force needs, the 25mm bore provides 245N push at 0.5MPa; for heavier loads, step up to the 40mm bore offering 628N. Choose the MBLCJ over an MBLJ when your moving mass demands tunable end-deceleration rather than a fixed bumper, or over an MBLC when you need to fine-tune the end position. Remember the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and the cushion only decelerates, so use external flow controls or a locking device for position holding. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot (no SDB or back-cover options). Replacement requires matching bore 32, stroke 450, adjust 50, G1/8 port, PT thread, and the -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull force, increasing to 563N push at 0.7MPa. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0MPa.
The rear adjustable stroke is a mechanical stopper that trims the end of travel by up to 50mm (yielding a 400-450mm window), but it does not lock the load in place. The adjustable air cushion is a screw valve that regulates exhaust flow to decelerate the piston near the stroke ends, protecting the end covers from impact.
