The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X175-30 is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø50mm bore, a 175mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 30mm for a usable window of 145–175mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ50X175-30 is a compact double-acting mini cylinder featuring a riveted aluminum barrel and a single Ø16 mm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod. It integrates a rear travel stopper allowing you to trim up to 30 mm, creating a usable end-position window of 145-175 mm. Delivering 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore unit is built for substantial actuation tasks.
Distinct from the fixed bumper on an MBLJ, this model uses a screw-tunable adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate heavy loads smoothly. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The rear stopper sets the travel end but does not lock the load, and the overall length equals A + 2 x 175 + 30 mm.

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.

Provides 981 N of push at 0.5 MPa to eject plastic parts from heavy molds, using the 145-175 mm stroke window to time the ejection length precisely.
Tunes the end-of-stroke air cushion to softly deflect glass bottles onto a packaging belt, preventing impact breakage during high-speed routing.
Handles timber feeding in a CNC router infeed system, where the 30 mm rear stroke adjustment accommodates varying raw board thicknesses without repositioning the cylinder.
If you need less force, step down to the 40 mm bore (628 N push @0.5 MPa), or step up to the 63 mm bore (1558 N push @0.5 MPa) for heavier demands. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your moving mass requires tunable end-of-stroke deceleration rather than a fixed rubber bumper, or over the MBLC if you need to fine-tune the travel end.
The rear adjuster is strictly a travel stop, not a lock; the cushion only decelerates, so external holding mechanisms are required for position retention. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, or LB styles, with no SDB pivot or back-cover options available. For an exact replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and confirm no magnet is fitted.
Quick checklist
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 is 1374 N, with a theoretical maximum of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 50 mm bore supports standard strokes up to 500 mm.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic position sensors. Additionally, the rear stroke adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the load; neither feature will hold the rod position without live air pressure.
