The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X350-50S is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore, a 350mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 50mm for a usable window of 300–350mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ40X350-50S 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 50 mm adjustment code lets you trim the rear travel, creating a usable stroke window of 300 to 350 mm. This extended travel suits applications requiring significant reach within a riveted rolling-packed aluminum body.
Unlike the base MBLJ which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this model uses screw-tunable end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb kinetic energy from heavy fast moves, protecting the end covers. The rear stopper sets the end position but does not lock the load, while the cushion only decelerates. The -S code means a built-in magnet is fitted for position detection, and the Ø16 mm hard-chrome plated carbon steel rod requires an external guide over this 350 mm span to prevent side-load bending.

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.

Pushes finished molded parts out of an injection molding machine using 628 N of force over the 350 mm span, with the air cushion absorbing the impact at full extension.
Trims the rear travel down to 300 mm via the adjuster to tune the shot size for an adhesive dispensing head, relying on the -S magnet for exact timing.
Actuates a long folding arm on a packaging line, using the adjustable end cushion to softly decelerate the 350 mm stroke and prevent tearing cardboard.
If you need less force, stepping down to the 32 mm bore yields 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the 50 mm bore provides 981 N. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your moving mass demands tunable air cushioning rather than a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC when you need the 300-350 mm adjustable travel window. Remember the adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, so an external holding device is required if the air supply drops. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, or LB (no SDB or back-cover options). For a direct replacement, match the 40 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the -S magnet. Because the stroke is 350 mm, always use an external guide to support the rod and prevent binding.
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.
The 50 mm rear adjuster acts as a travel stop, letting you set the usable stroke anywhere between 300 and 350 mm. The -S indicates a built-in magnet for use with AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors. Neither the adjuster nor the air cushion locks the load.
