The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X450-30S is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø50mm bore, a 450mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 30mm for a usable window of 420–450mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ50X450-30S is a compact, double-acting mini round cylinder engineered for high-force pneumatic positioning. It features a rear travel stopper that trims up to 30 mm of movement, creating a precise usable stroke window of 420 to 450 mm. Driven by a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod, it delivers 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for compatibility with AirTAC CMSG reed and DMSG or EMSG solid-state sensor switches to track rod position.
Distinguishing this SKU from a standard MBLJ is the integrated adjustable air cushion at both ends. While the base MBLJ relies on a fixed rubber bumper, the MBLCJ allows you to screw-tune the end-of-stroke deceleration. This protects the aluminum end covers from impact damage during fast, heavy 450 mm traversals. The rear stopper sets the travel end-point but does not hold the load; similarly, the cushion only decelerates and is not a mechanical lock. The riveted aluminum barrel and grease-retaining piston seal ensure consistent operation within the 30 to 800 mm/s speed range.

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.

Extracts heavy molded plastic parts from deep cavities. The 981 N push force reliably pushes stubborn parts off cores, while the 420 to 450 mm window accommodates varying mold depths.
Drives a carton sealing press where the tunable air cushion gently slows the 1374 N force at 0.7 MPa before the end of stroke, preventing cardboard crushing and cover fracture.
Positions a fabric tensioning roller in a calendering machine. The 450 mm travel handles wide fabric widths, and the DMSG electronic sensor confirms full extension.
When sizing this 50 mm bore, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1558 N. Choose the MBLCJ50X450-30S when your mechanism requires substantial thrust across a long 420 to 450 mm window with controlled deceleration. Compared to the MBLC (fixed stroke + cushion) or MBLJ (adjustable stroke + fixed bumper), this model provides both travel tuning and impact protection. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option. The overall length equals A + 2 x stroke + adjust. Because the stroke is 450 mm, the 16 mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending; an external guide rail is mandatory to prevent premature seal failure. For replacements, match the 50 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster allows you to trim up to 30 mm of travel, giving a usable stroke window of 420 to 450 mm. This mechanism acts strictly as a travel stop to set the end position; it does not hold a load. Likewise, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends. For position holding without continuous air pressure, an external locking device is required.
