The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X300-10 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore, a 300mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 10mm for a usable window of 290–300mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ40X300-10 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and twin adjustable air cushions. A 10mm rear trimmer yields a usable travel window of 290-300mm. Delivering 628N of push force at 0.5MPa, this 40mm bore unit drives heavier slides over its 300mm length. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and 20um hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod withstand demanding cycles.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper on an MBLJ, the screw-tunable end cushions let you dial in deceleration for fast moving masses, protecting the end covers. Note this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The rear adjuster sets the physical travel stop but does not lock the load; external guides are required to prevent rod bending over this 300mm extension.

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.

Lifts a hinged conveyor section in a PCB assembly line, using the 290-300mm stroke window to dial in exact gate clearance and the air cushions to prevent slamming at high speeds.
Pushes carton flaps during case erecting, where the 628N force handles heavier cardboard and the adjustable cushioning softens the impact at the end of the 300mm travel.
Shifts a textile winding beam laterally between processing stations, relying on the tunable rear stopper for precise alignment without over-travel.
Choose this 40mm bore when you need 628N push (528N pull) at 0.5MPa with fine end-position tuning. If your payload is lighter, stepping down to the 32mm bore yields 402N push. If you need more thrust, the 50mm bore provides 981N push. The 10mm rear adjuster trims the stroke window down to 290mm, while the separate air cushion needle controls end-of-stroke deceleration—neither mechanism holds the load in place.
This cylinder is limited to Basic, FA, or LB mounting (no SDB pivot or back-cover options). For a drop-in replacement, match the 40mm bore, 300mm stroke, 10mm adjust code, G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod thread, PT thread form, and confirm no magnet is required. Because the stroke is 300mm, use an external guide to support the 16mm rod against side loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa, this 40mm bore cylinder provides 628N push and 528N pull force. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 880N. The maximum theoretical force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa. It uses a G1/4 port and a 16mm diameter rod.
This specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet (-S code), so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The 10mm rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop to set the 290-300mm window, and the air cushion only controls deceleration; neither feature locks or holds the load in place.
