The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X250-75S is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore, a 250mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 75mm for a usable window of 175–250mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ40X250-75S 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 75 mm rear adjuster creates a usable end-position window of 175 to 250 mm, allowing you to dial in the exact travel distance without moving the physical mounts.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper found on the MBLJ series, the screw-tunable air cushion on this unit lets you regulate end-of-stroke deceleration for heavier 250 mm moves, protecting the end covers from impact. The 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod resists corrosion, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains lubrication over high-speed cycles. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor switches for precise position detection.

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.

Raises and lowers heavy warp beams on a weaving loom, using the 628 N push force and the 175-250 mm window to fine-tune the lifting height for different fabric run lengths.
Acts as an adjustable hard stop for inbound machining pallets, where the tunable air cushion softly decelerates the 250 mm travel to prevent pallet payload shock at the end of the stroke.
Extends a routing flap on a PCB assembly conveyor, relying on the DMSG electronic sensor to confirm full extension before a 40 mm bore retraction diverts the board.
If you need less force, step down to the 32 mm bore (402 N push @0.5 MPa); if your load requires more thrust, step up to the 50 mm bore (981 N push @0.5 MPa). Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your 250 mm travel speed demands tunable cushioning rather than a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC if you need the 175-250 mm rear travel adjustment. Remember the rear stopper sets the travel end and the cushion only decelerates; neither holds the load, so use an external lock for position holding. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, or LB; no SDB or back-cover options exist. To match this exact replacement: 40 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 75 mm adjust, G1/4 port, PT thread, and an S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628 N and the pull force is 528 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 880 N. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The 75 mm rear adjuster is a mechanical travel stop that sets your usable stroke window between 175 and 250 mm. The adjustable air cushion is a separate screw-tunable valve that regulates end-of-stroke deceleration speed. The adjuster stops travel; the cushion softens the stop. Neither acts as a lock to hold a load.
