About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X500-100
The AirTAC MBLCJ40X500-100 is a double-acting, single-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and an adjustable air cushion at both ends. It delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The 100 mm rear trimmer sets a usable travel window of 400 to 500 mm, letting you fine-tune the end position without mechanical shims.
This 40 mm bore uses a G1/4 port, a Ø16 carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating, and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread. Because this lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot host a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining piston seal maintain consistent friction, while the twin screw-tunable cushions absorb kinetic energy at high speeds to protect the end covers.

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X500-100 Is Used
Carton Erector Transfer
Pushes cardboard blanks into a folding station with 628 N of force, using the 100 mm rear stroke adjustment to perfectly time the paper feed length without swapping cylinders.
Textile Beam Loom Feeder
Decelerates a heavy yarn carrier carriage over 500 mm of travel, using the adjustable air cushion to prevent sudden snaps that would break delicate weaving threads.
Wood Panel Edge-Router
Positions a router carriage along a 400-500 mm window, relying on the 20 µm hard-chrome plated rod to resist wear in high-dust woodworking environments.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ40X500-100 the Right Cylinder?
Step down to the 32 mm bore (402 N push @0.5 MPa) if your load is lighter, or step up to the 50 mm bore (981 N push @0.5 MPa) for heavier masses. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when you need tunable end-deceleration instead of a fixed rubber bumper, or over the MBLC when a project requires trimming the stroke within the 400-500 mm window.
Remember the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a load lock; the cushion only decelerates, so use an external locking mechanism to hold position. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, or LB; no SDB pivot or back-cover code applies. For a drop-in replacement, match the 40 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, 100 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and confirm no magnet is required. At this 500 mm stroke, the small 16 mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending—an external guide is mandatory to prevent jamming.
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 MBLCJ40X500-100 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push and 528 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 880 N. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Because this SKU lacks the -S code, it has no built-in magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The 100 mm rear adjuster is a travel stop that sets the 400-500 mm end position, and the air cushion only decelerates the piston; neither mechanism locks or holds the load.
