About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X160-30S
The AirTAC MBLCJ50X160-30S is a compact double-acting mini cylinder featuring a single Ø16mm rod and a riveted aluminum barrel. It delivers 981N of push force at 0.5MPa. A rear adjuster allows you to trim up to 30mm of travel, creating a usable 130-160mm end-position window. This is mechanically distinct from the integrated adjustable air cushion, which uses screw-tunable valves at both ends to manage deceleration for heavy masses.
The -S code denotes a built-in magnet for position feedback via CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG solid-state switches. The 20µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod resists wear, while the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal maintains lubrication over 30-800mm/s speeds. The rear stroke stopper sets your travel end but does not lock the load; external guide rails should handle side loads to prevent rod bending.

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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 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 MBLCJ50X160-30S Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Handles 981N of push force to eject dense plastic parts from molds, using the 130-160mm stroke window to fine-tune the ejection height for varied tooling.
Automated Press Sub-assembly
Uses screw-tunable air cushions to safely decelerate a 1374N press stroke at 0.7MPa, preventing end-cover damage during rapid metal-forming operations.
Textile Calendering Feed
Employs the DMSG solid-state sensor signal to trigger fabric feed rolls, while the 160mm stroke handles thick textile calenders without side-loading the rod.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X160-30S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 50mm bore, step down to a 40mm cylinder (628N push at 0.5MPa) for lighter payloads, or step up to a 63mm bore (1558N push at 0.5MPa) for heavier machinery. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your moving mass needs tunable end-cover protection instead of a fixed rubber bumper. If your stroke length is fixed and never needs trimming, the MBLC variant offers the same cushioning without the rear adjuster.
Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; the cushion only decelerates. Neither function will hold a suspended load in place without live air. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets (no SDB pivot or back-cover options). For a drop-in replacement, match the 50mm bore, 160mm stroke, 30mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the -S 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 MBLCJ50X160-30S FAQ
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 981N and the pull force is 881N. At 0.7MPa, the push force reaches 1374N. The maximum theoretical force is 200kgf at 1.0MPa.
The rear adjustable stroke is a mechanical travel stop that trims the end position from 130 to 160mm, but it does not lock the load. The adjustable air cushion uses needle valves to tune end-of-stroke deceleration, protecting the end covers from heavy impacts.
