The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X25-30 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore, a 25mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 30mm for a usable window of -5–25mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ40X25-30 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and an adjustable air cushion at both ends. The 30mm adjustment code lets you trim the 25mm stroke, creating a usable 0-25mm end-position window. Driven by a Ø16mm rod through a G1/4 port, it yields 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, making it ideal for medium-force positioning tasks.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper on an MBLJ, the screw-tunable air cushion on this unit allows precise end-of-stroke deceleration for heavier moving masses, protecting the end covers. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining piston seal minimize friction. Note this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

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.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a margin.

Provides 628N of clamping force to secure aluminum workholding pallets onto a machining center sub-plate, using the 0-25mm stroke window to dial in exact contact.
Tunes its air cushion to smoothly decelerate a heavy diverter arm on a packaging line, preventing hard impacts that would eventually crack the aluminum end cover.
Positions a flexographic print head with 528N pull force, relying on the rear stopper to set a precise 15mm registration distance without drift.
If you need less force, the Ø32 bore provides 402N push at 0.5MPa; for heavier loads, the Ø50 bore offers 981N. Choose the MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your moving mass demands tunable end-cushioning rather than a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC when you need that rear travel stopper. Remember the adjuster sets the travel end and the cushion only decelerates; neither holds the load, so use an external locking mechanism for position holding. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot (no SDB or back-cover). Replacement match: 40mm bore, 25mm stroke, 30mm adjust, G1/4 port, PT thread, no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull. At 0.7MPa push increases to 880N, with a theoretical maximum of 128kgf at 1.0MPa.
The rear adjuster mechanically trims the stroke end-position within a 0-25mm window, acting as a travel stop. The adjustable air cushion uses a screw valve to tune pneumatic deceleration near the end of travel. Neither holds the load.
