About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X160-30
The AirTAC MBLCJ50X160-30 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and a tunable air cushion at both ends. It delivers 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The 30 mm rear adjuster creates a usable stroke window of 130 to 160 mm, allowing you to dial in the exact end position for your tooling. A Ø16 hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod handles the lateral stresses of rapid actuation.
Unlike the base MBLJ which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this model uses screw-tunable air cushioning to decelerate heavier loads smoothly before the end cap, preventing impact damage. Note that this specific SKU is built without a magnet, meaning it cannot host a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The riveted aluminum barrel and grease-retaining two-way piston seal ensure consistent friction over a 30 to 800 mm/s speed range.

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X160-30 Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to eject heavy plastic parts from molds, using the 130-160 mm adjustable window to match varying mold depths perfectly.
Wood Routing Clamp
Secures dense MDF panels during high-speed CNC routing, utilizing the tunable air cushion to prevent sudden 160 mm stroke impacts from shaking the machine frame.
Bending Press Stop
Acts as a precise 160 mm travel stop in light metal-forming presses, where the 20 um hard-chrome rod resists wear from repetitive high-force cycling.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X160-30 the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down to the 40 mm bore drops the output to 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore increases it to 1558 N. Choose this MBLCJ variant over the fixed-stroke MBLC when your tooling requires precise end-position tweaking within that 130-160 mm window. Remember the rear adjuster is strictly a travel stop, not a lock; it cannot hold a load in place, and the air cushion only decelerates. For position holding, you need external guided mechanics. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles, as no SDB pivot or back-cover options exist. To match this exact replacement, verify bore 50, stroke 160, 30 mm adjust, G1/4 port, PT thread, and no magnet.
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 MBLCJ50X160-30 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The 30 mm rear adjuster lets you trim the travel down to a 130 mm minimum, creating a 130-160 mm usable window. This mechanism is a hard travel stop that sets the end position; it is not a lock, and the separate adjustable air cushion only handles deceleration. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept a CMSG or DMSG sensor.
