The AirTAC Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ63X160-10S is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore, a 160mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 10mm for a usable window of 150–160mm. Adjustable air cushion (both ends).
The AirTAC MBLCJ63X160-10S is a compact double-acting mini cylinder engineered for heavy-duty pneumatics, delivering 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. It features a rear travel stopper that allows you to trim up to 10 mm of movement, creating a precise usable stroke window of 150 to 160 mm. This is paired with a screw-tunable adjustable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to dial in end-of-stroke deceleration for fast moving loads, which protects the end covers far better than a fixed rubber bumper.
Built with a riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel and a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod plated with 20 µm hard chrome, this unit handles operating pressures from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa. The -S code indicates a built-in magnet for position detection, supporting AirTAC CMSG reed switches alongside DMSG and EMSG solid-state electronic sensors. Keep in mind the rear stopper sets the travel end but does not hold the load, and the cushion only decelerates; neither acts as a mechanical lock, so external holding mechanisms are required if power is lost.

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 1558 N of push force to eject dense plastic parts from molding machines, using the 150-160 mm adjustable stroke window to ensure parts clear the tooling without damaging the mold face.
Halts heavy loaded pallets on a packaging conveyor, relying on the tunable air cushion to decelerate the 318 kgf maximum kinetic impact smoothly without slamming the end covers.
Secures thick metal sheet stock feeding into a mechanical press, using the 1457 N pull force and the -S magnet with a DMSG electronic sensor to verify clamp engagement before the press cycles.
If you need to step down in force, the 50 mm bore variant offers 981 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up is not an option as 63 mm is the largest available size in this family. Choose this MBLCJ over the MBLJ when your application speed requires tunable pneumatic deceleration rather than a fixed bumper, or over the MBLC if you need the rear travel adjuster to fine-tune the end position. The overall length extends to A + 2 x stroke + adjust, and mounting is strictly limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles—no SDB pivot or back-cover options exist. For an exact replacement, match the 63 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the -S magnet specification.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1558 N of push force and 1457 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2181 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster is a mechanical travel stop that trims the usable stroke window down to 150-160 mm, setting the exact end position. The adjustable air cushion is a separate screw-tunable valve that controls pneumatic deceleration near the stroke end. Neither the stopper nor the cushion acts as a lock to hold a load in place.
