The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X300-40 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 40mm for a usable window of 260–300mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ40X300-40 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and a tunable air cushion at both ends. It delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The rear stopper lets you trim up to 40 mm of travel, creating a precise 260-300 mm usable stroke window for varying end positions. A G1/4 port and Ø16 hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod handle robust pneumatic demands.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper on an MBLJ, the screw-tunable end cushions actively decelerate heavy loads over this long 300 mm stroke, protecting the end covers from impact. Note this SKU lacks a built-in magnet (-S), so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG position sensors. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining piston seal ensure consistent friction even at speeds up to 800 mm/s. Overall length equals A + 2 x stroke + adjust.

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.

Pushes 300 mm to index heavy machining pallets; the air cushion absorbs the 628 N kinetic impact at the stroke end, while the 40 mm trim dials in the exact docking position.
Actuates a carton folding arm where the 260-300 mm adjustable window fine-tunes the fold depth without remounting the cylinder, handling the 528 N retract load smoothly.
Sets a dynamic material stop on a high-speed routing line; the tunable cushion prevents bounce when the 880 N @0.7 MPa extension force hits the end cover.
Step down to the 32 mm bore (402 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or step up to the 50 mm bore (981 N push @0.5 MPa) when you need greater thrust. Choose MBLCJ over MBLJ when your moving mass requires active end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a passive bumper. Choose MBLC over MBLCJ if your travel length is fixed and you do not need the 40 mm rear trim window.
The rear adjuster sets the travel end point but does not lock or hold the load; external guide rails must manage side loads, especially at 300 mm stroke. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot—no SDB pivot or back-cover options exist. Exact replacement requires: 40 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 628 N push and 528 N pull. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 880 N. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
The adjustable stroke is a rear mechanical stopper that trims your usable travel window down to 260 mm from the 300 mm nominal length. The adjustable air cushion is a separate needle valve that regulates end-of-stroke deceleration. Neither feature locks or holds the load in place.
