About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X160-100S
The AirTAC MBLCJ50X160-100S is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and an adjustable air cushion at both ends. It delivers 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and utilizes a G1/4 port with a robust Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod. The 100 mm rear trimmer allows you to tune the usable travel window down to 60 mm, providing exact end-position flexibility for a 160 mm nominal stroke.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper found on the base MBLJ, the screw-tunable air cushions on this unit decelerate heavy loads before impact, protecting the end covers during high-speed moves. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining piston seal ensure long service life. Fitted with a built-in magnet (-S), it supports AirTAC CMSG reed and DMSG or EMSG electronic sensor switches for precise rod position detection.

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X160-100S Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides 981 N of push force to eject dense plastic parts, using the 60-160 mm adjustable window to match varying mold depths without changing the cylinder.
Packaging Conveyor Diverter
Screw-tunable air cushions absorb the kinetic energy of heavy carton diverters at 800 mm/s, preventing end-cover damage while the magnet triggers DMSG sensors.
Woodworking Panel Press
Applies steady 881 N pull force to hold veneer panels, using the 100 mm rear stroke adjustment to dial in exact clamping positions for different panel thicknesses.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X160-100S the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring less thrust, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1558 N for heavier loads. Choose this MBLCJ variant over the MBLJ when your moving mass requires tunable end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a simple fixed bumper, or over the MBLC if you need to trim the travel end. Remember that the rear stopper sets the travel limit and the cushion only decelerates; neither component mechanically locks the rod, so external locking is required to hold a load safely in place.
Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles, as the MBLCJ series does not support SDB pivots or back-cover options. The overall length extends by the adjustment dimension (A + 2 x stroke + adjust). To replace this unit, match the 50 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 100 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the -S magnet. Because the nominal stroke is 160 mm, ensure external guides support the rod to prevent side-load bending on longer extensions.
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 MBLCJ50X160-100S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 981 N push and 881 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf when operated at the 1.0 MPa pressure limit.
The 100 mm rear adjuster is a mechanical travel stop that reduces the usable stroke window to 60-160 mm, but it does not lock the load. The adjustable air cushion is a separate screw-tunable valve that controls exhaust flow to decelerate the piston near the end covers, preventing impact damage.
