About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X100-50
The AirTAC MBLCJ40X100-50 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a single Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating. It generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for medium-duty handling tasks requiring a 100 mm travel distance. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal ensure durable, low-friction operation in tight machine spaces.
This SKU integrates a rear stroke adjuster allowing you to trim up to 50 mm of travel, creating a usable end-position window of 50 to 100 mm. It also features an adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you screw-tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb kinetic energy from heavier loads, which protects the end covers better than a fixed rubber bumper. Note that this specific model lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 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 MBLCJ40X100-50 Is Used
Textile Loom Beater
Drives the loom beater mechanism to lay weft yarns precisely, using the 628 N push force and tunable air cushion to absorb the high-impact kinetic energy at the 100 mm stroke end without damaging end covers.
Bottling Line Capper
Applies torque to spin plastic screw caps onto beverage containers, utilizing the 50-100 mm adjustable stroke window to accommodate varying bottle neck heights on the same filling lane.
PCB Depaneling Router
Feeds printed circuit boards into a depaneling router, relying on the 528 N pull force to retract the fixture quickly while dialing in the rear stopper for exact edge alignment.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X100-50 the Right Cylinder?
If your application demands less force, stepping down to the 32 mm bore yields 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 50 mm bore provides 981 N for heavier payloads. Choose this MBLCJ variant over the MBLJ when your moving mass requires tunable pneumatic cushioning rather than a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC when you need to fine-tune the rear travel end-point within that 50-100 mm window. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and the cushion only decelerates; neither will mechanically hold a load in place without live air pressure.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles, as this series omits back-cover or SDB pivot options. The overall length grows by the 50 mm adjustment dimension plus the 100 mm stroke, so verify your envelope dimensions. For a direct replacement, match the 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and confirm no magnet is required. Because the rod is only 16 mm in diameter, long strokes over 300 mm require an external guide to prevent rod bending under side-load.
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 MBLCJ40X100-50 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 880 N. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a safe operating pressure range of 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The rear adjustment lets you trim up to 50 mm of travel, creating a usable stroke window of 50 to 100 mm. This adjuster is a mechanical travel stop, not a lock, and the adjustable air cushion only manages end-of-stroke deceleration.
