The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X125-30 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore, a 125mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 30mm for a usable window of 95–125mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ40X125-30 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and an adjustable air cushion at both ends. It delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The rear stopper allows you to trim up to 30 mm of travel, creating a usable stroke window of 95 to 125 mm. This 125 mm travel length is well-suited for mid-range indexing and robust part ejection on automated lines.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper found on the MBLJ variant, the screw-tunable air cushions on this SKU allow you to dial in end-of-stroke deceleration for heavier moving loads, protecting the end covers from impact. The 16 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 um hard-chrome plating to resist scoring, while the riveted rolling-packed barrel ensures structural integrity. Note that this specific model lacks a built-in magnet (-S), meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors without a configuration change.

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.

Provides 628 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa to seat copper windings into motor stators, using the 95-125 mm stroke window to accommodate varying stack heights.
Handles the rapid 125 mm extension to position strapping heads over heavy pallets, relying on the adjustable air cushion to brake the 16 mm rod smoothly without slamming.
Uses the 30 mm rear stroke adjustment to precisely set the ejection depth of populated PCBs from test fixtures, preventing over-travel damage to delicate components.
Choose this 40 mm bore when you need 628 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your application is lighter, stepping down to the 32 mm bore yields 402 N of push force; if you need more power, stepping up to the 50 mm bore provides 981 N. Select the MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your moving mass requires tunable pneumatic deceleration rather than a fixed rubber bumper, or over the MBLC if you need to fine-tune the end position. The rear adjuster sets the travel end point, and the cushion governs deceleration speed—neither component acts as a mechanical lock to hold a load in place.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA (flange), or LB (foot) styles; this series does not support SDB pivot mounts or back-cover attachments. The overall length extends by the adjustment dimension (A + 2 x stroke + adjust). This SKU uses a G1/4 port with PT threads and an M12x1.25 rod-end. To replace this cylinder exactly, match the 40 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust code, PT thread, and lack of an S magnet.
Quick checklist
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 increases to 880 N. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU lacks the -S code, meaning it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The 30 mm rear mechanism is a travel stop that sets your 95-125 mm usable window, and the adjustable air cushion controls end-of-stroke deceleration; neither feature mechanically locks or holds the rod in place.
