About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X250-100
The AirTAC MBLCJ50X250-100 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster and tunable air cushions at both ends. It delivers 981 N push and 881 N pull force at 0.5 MPa via a Ø16 hard-chrome plated rod. The rear stopper allows you to trim up to 100 mm of travel, creating a usable working window of 150 to 250 mm for precise end positioning.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper found on the MBLJ variant, the screw-tunable end cushions here allow you to dial in deceleration for heavy 250 mm strokes, protecting the end covers from impact. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet (-S), meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and grease-retaining piston seal ensure long service life in tight machinery spaces.

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)

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X250-100 Is Used
Packaging Conveyor Diverter
Pushes heavy cartons at 981 N force, using the 150-250 mm stroke window to accommodate varying box sizes without changing the cylinder mount.
CNC Pallet Stopper
Decelerates fast-moving machining pallets using the adjustable air cushions, preventing end-cover damage during high-cycle automated loading.
Wood Router Feed Clamp
Holds timber securely with 881 N pull force, relying on the 250 mm stroke to accommodate varying material widths in tight routing cells.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X250-100 the Right Cylinder?
For lower force requirements, stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to a 63 mm bore provides 1558 N. Choose this MBLCJ model over the MBLJ when your moving mass requires tuned pneumatic deceleration rather than a simple rubber bumper. If your travel length is fixed and does not need the 150-250 mm adjustment window, the standard MBLC series offers the same cushioning without the rear stopper.
Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load under pressure without continuous air supply. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles, as this series omits back-cover and SDB pivot options. The PT threaded port matches the G1/4 specification. Because the 250 mm stroke is substantial for a 50 mm bore, an external guide is recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads.
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 MBLCJ50X250-100 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 981 N push and 881 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 1374 N, with a theoretical maximum of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Neither the rear stroke adjuster nor the air cushions act as a lock; the rod drifts without live air, so an external locking device is required for true load holding.
The 100 mm code means you can mechanically trim the rear travel stop, creating a usable end-position window from 150 to 250 mm. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches for position detection.
