The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ50X500-75S is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø50mm bore, a 500mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 75mm for a usable window of 425–500mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ50X500-75S is a compact double-acting mini cylinder engineered for heavy-duty positioning. It features a rear travel stopper that permits up to 75mm of trim, creating a precise 425-500mm usable stroke window. Delivering 981N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 50mm bore unit integrates an adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high kinetic-energy loads smoothly, preventing end-cover damage. The riveted aluminum barrel and 20um hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod ensure longevity in dynamic environments.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for compatibility with AirTAC CMSG reed and DMSG or EMSG solid-state sensor switches to track rod position. Because the 500mm stroke pushes the limits of the 16mm rod, an external guide is strongly recommended to prevent side-load bending. The rear stopper sets the end position, while the cushion damps velocity—neither component locks the load in place, so external holding mechanisms are required for pneumatic positioning.

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.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a margin.

Provides 981N of push force to eject heavy plastic parts from molds, using the 425-500mm stroke window to time the ejection length precisely.
Tunes the end-of-stroke air cushion to decelerate a 1374N thrust at 0.7 MPa when extending over 500mm to strap heavy pallets without shock-loading the frame.
Uses the built-in magnet (-S) with a DMSG electronic sensor to confirm rod extension in a 500mm wood planer feed system, ensuring consistent board thickness.
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the 40mm bore reduces thrust to 628N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 63mm bore yields 1558N. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your application generates too much momentum for a fixed rubber bumper, or over the MBLC when you need to fine-tune the end position. The 75mm rear adjuster sets the travel limit but does not hold the load; live air pressure is required to maintain position. Mounting is restricted to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets (no SDB or back-cover options exist). For a direct replacement, match the 50mm bore, 500mm stroke, 75mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the -S magnet. At 500mm, side-load mitigation is mandatory.
Quick checklist
This 50mm bore cylinder delivers 981N push and 881N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 200kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 500mm stroke is the maximum standard limit for this bore size, utilizing a 16mm rod and G1/4 port.
The 75mm rear adjuster physically stops the piston to set your exact end-of-travel window between 425mm and 500mm, but it does not lock the load. The adjustable air cushion is a separate screw-tunable valve that bleeds trapped air to decelerate the piston near the end covers, preventing impact damage.
