About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X500-30
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X500-30 is a compact double-acting mini cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 500mm stroke. It integrates a rear stroke adjuster allowing you to trim up to 30mm of travel, creating a usable end-position window of 470 to 500mm. Driven by a Ø12mm carbon-steel rod with 20μm hard-chrome plating, it delivers 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5MPa. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light for tight spaces.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper on an MBLJ, this MBLCJ variant uses a screw-tunable adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the rod near the stroke limits, protecting the end covers during high-speed moves. Because this is a 500mm stroke on a small 32mm bore, the rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending; an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent shaft deflection. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X500-30 Is Used
Long-Reach Pick and Place
Handles electronic board transfer across a 500mm span, using the 470-500mm adjustable window to dial in exact handoff coordinates while the air cushion cushions the extended 12mm rod.
Packaging Flap Folding
Actuates carton sealing mechanisms where the 402N push force securely creases heavy cardboard, and the tunable cushion prevents end-cover damage during 800mm/s high-speed cycling.
Textile Web Guiding
Traverses fabric alignment guides over a long 500mm stroke; the external guide rail supports the rod against side-load, while the rear stopper precisely sets the edge limit.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X500-30 the Right Cylinder?
If 402N of push force at 0.5MPa is too much for your payload, step down to the 25mm bore, which provides 245N of push force. If your application requires heavier lifting, step up to the 40mm bore, delivering 628N of push force. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your cycle speed demands tunable end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a fixed rubber bumper, or over the MBLC when you need to fine-tune the rear travel end position.
Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a load-holding brake; the rod will drift without live air pressure, and the cushion only decelerates, so external locking is required for static holding. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets—SDB pivot or back-cover options are not available for this series. To replace this exact unit, match the 32mm bore, 500mm stroke, 30mm adjust code, G1/8 port with PT threads, and confirm no magnet (S) is fitted.
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 MBLCJ32X500-30 FAQ
At 0.5MPa, this 32mm bore cylinder provides 402N of push force and 346N of pull force. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 563N, with a maximum theoretical output of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. The 500mm stroke is the maximum standard limit for this bore size.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic sensors. Additionally, the adjustable air cushion only tunes end-of-stroke deceleration and the rear adjuster is a travel stop; neither component is a lock, so the rod will drift without live air pressure.
