The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X400-75S is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore, a 400mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 75mm for a usable window of 325–400mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ40X400-75S is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and tunable air cushions at both ends. A 40mm bore yields 628N push and 528N pull force at 0.5MPa. The 75mm rear adjuster creates a usable 325-400mm travel window, allowing precise end-position tuning without redesigning your machine layout.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper on an MBLJ, this model uses screw-tunable pneumatic cushioning to decelerate heavy 128kgf loads over a 400mm run, protecting the end covers. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and 20um hard-chrome carbon-steel rod withstand 30-800mm/s cycling. The -S code adds a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing. Note the overall length equals A + 2 x stroke + adjust, so plan your envelope accordingly.

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.

Drives a heavy warp beam carriage through a 325-400mm adjustable travel window, using the tunable cushion to halt the 628N load smoothly without jarring the delicate yarn tension.
Positions machining pallets along a 400mm axis, where the dual screw-tunable air cushions absorb the 880N kinetic energy at 0.7MPa, preventing end-cover damage during rapid automated tool changes.
Actuates a carton forming arm over an extended 400mm reach, relying on the built-in magnet and DMSG solid-state sensor to confirm full extension despite the long, slender 16mm chrome rod.
For lighter loads, the 32mm bore offers 402N push at 0.5MPa; for heavier thrust, the 50mm bore provides 981N. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your end-of-stroke speeds demand tunable deceleration rather than a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC if you need that 325-400mm adjustable travel window rather than a fixed 400mm stop.
The rear adjuster sets a physical travel stop, and the cushion only decelerates; neither holds the load pneumatically, so use an external lock for vertical positioning. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot (no SDB pivot or back cover). To replace this SKU exactly, match the 40mm bore, 400mm stroke, 75mm adjust, G1/4 port (PT thread), and the -S magnet. At 400mm, the Ø16 rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending; always guide the load externally.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull force, increasing to 880N push at 0.7MPa, with a maximum theoretical thrust of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The 75mm rear adjuster allows you to trim the 400mm stroke down to a 325mm minimum, giving a usable 325-400mm travel window.
No. The rear mechanism acts as a travel stop to set the end position, while the adjustable air cushion only regulates deceleration speed near the stroke ends. Neither component locks or holds a load pneumatically; a separate external locking mechanism is required for vertical position holding.
