The AirTAC Airtac MBLJ Adjustable Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MBLJ50X350-40S is a genuine double-acting aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø50mm bore, a 350mm nominal stroke and a rear adjustable-stroke stopper — trim up to 40mm for a usable window of 310–350mm. Fixed rubber bumper.
The AirTAC MBLJ50X350-40S is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear travel stopper that allows you to trim the stroke end position. This creates a usable adjustment window of 310-350 mm, letting you fine-tune the extend distance without adding external physical stops. Driven by a Ø16 mm hard-chrome plated rod, it delivers 981 N of push force and 881 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for rod position detection via CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic switches. It uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end impacts and a grease-retaining piston seal within its riveted aluminum barrel. Because the overall length is calculated as A + 2 x stroke + adjust, this 350 mm travel unit is physically longer than a standard fixed-stroke variant.

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.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a margin.

Uses the 310-350 mm adjustable window to precisely set the pusher extension distance for varying carton widths on a packaging line without machining new stop blocks.
Leverages the 981 N push force at 0.5 MPa to shift a yarn guide carriage, fine-tuning the end-of-travel position to maintain exact material tension.
Employs the -S magnet with a DMSG electronic sensor to confirm rod extension, adjusting the 350 mm stroke by up to 40 mm to accommodate different board sizes.
If you need less thrust, stepping down to a 40 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 628 N; stepping up to a 63 mm bore raises it significantly to 1558 N. Choose this MBLJ adjustable version over a fixed MBL when your machine requires product changeover flexibility, or select the MBLCJ variant if your inertia requires adjustable air cushions rather than a fixed rubber bumper. To match this exact SKU for replacement, verify the 50 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the -S magnet.
The rear stopper on this cylinder sets the travel limit but does not function as a lock, meaning the rod will drift if air pressure is lost. Mounting is restricted to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles, as no back-cover or SDB pivot options exist for the MBLJ series. With a 350 mm stroke, the small 16 mm rod is highly susceptible to side-loading; always use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 981 N push and 881 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf at the 1.0 MPa operating pressure limit.
The rear screw stopper lets you trim the travel back by up to 40 mm, creating a usable stroke window from 310 mm to 350 mm. This stopper sets the end position and is not a lock; the cylinder cannot hold a load without live air pressure.
