About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X500-10
The AirTAC MBLCJ40X500-10 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 of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The rear stopper allows you to trim up to 10 mm of travel, creating a usable 490-500 mm stroke window to dial in exact end positions. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.
Twin screw-adjustable cushions absorb kinetic energy near the stroke ends, protecting the end covers during these long 500 mm travels far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod resist wear, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains lubrication. Note that the rear adjuster sets the travel end and the cushion only decelerates; neither mechanism locks the load in place.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a margin.

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X500-10 Is Used
Textile Loom Let-off
Regulates fabric tension on a weaving loom. The 628 N push force maintains steady beam tension, while the 490-500 mm window allows exact alignment of the let-off mechanism.
Plywood Stacking Conveyor
Pushes veneer sheets onto a stacking platform. The tunable air cushion prevents harsh impacts at the end of the 500 mm extension, protecting both the wood sheets and the cylinder end covers.
Packaging Folder Gate
Actuates a folding gate on a corrugated box machine. The 10 mm rear stroke trim perfectly sets the folding dead-stop, ensuring consistent carton creases without needing sensor feedback.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X500-10 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing less force, the 32 mm bore offers 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more power, the 50 mm bore provides 981 N. This MBLCJ variant is chosen over the MBLJ when a fixed bumper cannot survive high-speed 500 mm strokes, and over the MBLC when you need that 490-500 mm fine-tuning window. The overall length equals A + 2 x 500 + 10 mm, and mounting is limited to Basic, FA, or LB styles (no SDB or back-cover options exist).
Because this stroke reaches the 500 mm maximum standard limit for a 40 mm bore, the small 16 mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending. An external guide is mandatory to prevent rod damage. For exact replacements, match the 40 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and confirm no magnet is present. The adjuster acts as a travel stop, not a brake, so external mechanical locking is required to hold a load.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Adjustable window fits your end position
- ✓ Adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — add a guide on long strokes
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Set the rear stopper for the end position (a travel stop, not a lock).
- check Avoid side load; add an external guide on long strokes.
- check Mounting: Basic / FA flange / LB foot (no SDB, no back-cover code).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X500-10 FAQ
It has a 40 mm bore and a G1/4 port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628 N and pulls 528 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 880 N, with a maximum theoretical force of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot mount a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor. Additionally, the rear adjuster is only a travel stop and the air cushion only decelerates; neither acts as a lock, so an external mechanical lock is required to hold a load.
