About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X500-10
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X500-10 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear travel 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 10 mm of travel, creating a precise 490-500 mm usable stroke window for exact end-of-move positioning.
Because this 500 mm stroke pushes the limits of the 32 mm bore, the adjustable end-of-stroke cushioning is critical to prevent impact damage to the end covers during high-speed approaches. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. Furthermore, the riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining seal ensure reliable service, but an external guide is highly recommended to counter side-load bending on such a long, slender 12 mm rod.

| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a margin.

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X500-10 Is Used
PCB Conveyor Gate
Actuates a lifting gate on a printed circuit board conveyor, using the 490-500 mm stroke window to perfectly align track heights without hard mechanical crashes.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Positions a yarn tensioning bar in automated looms, relying on the adjustable air cushion to absorb the 402 N push force smoothly at the end of the 500 mm extension.
Packaging Folder Arm
Drives a carton folding arm in a packaging line, where the 10 mm rear stroke trim fine-tunes the fold depth and the cushion protects the cover at high cycling speeds.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X500-10 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32 mm bore when you need 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa over a long 500 mm distance. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N, whereas stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N for heavier payloads. This model replaces any cylinder matching its exact specs: 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and no magnet.
Select the MBLCJ over the MBLJ if your dynamic loads require screw-tunable deceleration rather than a fixed rubber bumper, or over the MBLC if you need the rear travel stopper to fine-tune the 490-500 mm window. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and the air cushion only decelerates; neither mechanism will hold a load in place without continuous air pressure. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, or LB styles, as SDB pivot and back-cover options are not available for this series.
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 MBLCJ32X500-10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder pushes with 402 N and pulls with 346 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N, with a maximum theoretical output of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The rear adjuster and air cushion only control travel end and deceleration; they do not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
No, this specific MBLCJ32X500-10 SKU does not have a built-in magnet, so it cannot support AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. You would need to select the -S version of this cylinder to enable reed or electronic solid-state sensor tracking.
