About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X50-10S
The AirTAC MBLCJ50X50-10S is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder engineered for high-force tasks, delivering 981 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. It integrates a rear stroke adjuster allowing you to trim up to 10 mm of travel, creating a usable 40-50 mm end-position window. Unlike the base MBLJ which relies on a fixed rubber bumper, this unit features a screw-tunable adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate heavier loads smoothly and protect the end covers from impact wear.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S) for use with AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG and EMSG solid-state sensor switches to track rod position. The Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod is treated with a 20 µm hard-chrome plating to resist scoring, paired with a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal inside the riveted rolling-packed barrel. Remember that the rear stopper sets the travel end and the cushion only decelerates; neither component acts as a mechanical lock to hold a load in place without live air pressure.

| 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 MBLCJ50X50-10S Is Used
Thermoforming Press Trimming
Delivers 981 N of push force to cleanly shear plastic webbing on a rotary thermoforming line, using the 40-50 mm stroke window to dial in the exact cutting depth.
Beverage Line Capping Heads
Applies precise downward torque on bottle capping spindles, utilizing the adjustable air cushion to prevent thread stripping during high-speed capping.
Woodworking Clamp Carriages
Secures wooden workpieces on a CNC router bed, relying on the -S magnet and DMSG sensor to confirm clamp engagement before the spindle starts cutting.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X50-10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 50 mm bore, stepping down to the 40 mm bore reduces your 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 over the MBLJ when your application generates high kinetic energy at the stroke ends and requires tunable cushioning rather than a fixed bumper. If your stroke length is fixed and does not need the 40-50 mm rear trim window, the MBLC variant offers the same air cushioning without the adjustment mechanism.
The rear travel adjuster is a hard stop, not a locking device, so external guides are required if the load must be held rigidly in place. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets; there is no SDB pivot or back-cover option available. To replace this exact unit, match the 50 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the -S magnet option.
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 MBLCJ50X50-10S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 10 mm rear stroke adjustment is a mechanical travel stop that sets the end position within a 40-50 mm usable window. The adjustable air cushion is a separate screw-tunable valve that regulates exhaust flow to decelerate the piston near the end covers. Neither feature locks or holds the load without continuous air pressure.
