This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLJ40X125-75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLJ40X125-75 in place of this model. The MBLJ replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (the MAL used CS1-M / DS1-M).
Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X125-75
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X125-75 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 75 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 50 to 125 mm. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X125-75.

About the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X125-75
The AirTAC MALJ40X125-75 is a discontinued double-acting single-rod cylinder with a 40mm bore and 125mm stroke. It features a rear screw stopper that lets you trim the extend position by up to 75mm, giving a usable stroke window of 50-125mm. This 40mm bore delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5 MPa. The drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X125-75, which matches the bore, stroke, adjuster code, G1/4 port and FA/LB mounting.
The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but does not hold load without live air. The fixed rubber bumper softens end impact but provides no adjustable cushion. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a position sensor. The original MALJ uses threaded covers and the MBLJ upgrade shifts to a riveted rolling-packed body for higher structural integrity.

The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock — it sets the end position but does not hold the load without live air. No back-cover code and no SDB on adjustable-stroke. The MBLJ40X125-75 carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

Where the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X125-75 Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Dial the 50-125mm stroke window to time the exact ejection of plastic parts from a mold press, using the 628N push force to clear the cavity without resetting stops.
PCB Router Depth Stop
Trim the extend position by up to 75mm to set a precise Z-axis depth for a PCB depaneling router, preventing the 16mm rod from crashing into the tooling base.
Carton Flap Folding
Adjust the end position on the fly to fold varying corrugated carton sizes on a packaging line, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the 880N impact at 0.7 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X125-75 with MBLJ40X125-75
To replace the MALJ40X125-75, select the MBLJ40X125-75 to keep the 40mm bore, 125mm stroke, 75mm adjust code, G1/4 port and FA/LB mounting. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; if you need sensing on the new MBLJ, add the -S code to use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M. The rear adjuster sets end position but is not a lock; add an external lock for held loads.
For sizing flexibility, you can step down to the 32mm bore (402N push at 0.5 MPa) to save space, or step up if available for higher force. At 125mm stroke, the 16mm rod handles normal loads well, but always verify side-load alignment to prevent rod-bending and premature seal wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ40X125-75 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 50–125 mm adjustable window
- ✓ Adjuster is a stop, not a lock
- ✓ No back cover / SDB — plan an FA/LB mount
- ✓ Sensor: swap CS1-M/DS1-M → CMSG/DMSG/EMSG
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.1 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check The rear adjuster sets the end position — it is not a load lock.
- check No back-cover / SDB on adjustable-stroke — use FA / LB.
- check Front/rear covers are threaded — not for field disassembly.
- check For new builds, specify the MBLJ40X125-75 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X125-75 FAQ
Yes, the MALJ40X125-75 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X125-75, which matches the 40mm bore, 125mm stroke, 75mm adjust code, G1/4 port and FA/LB mounting. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
This 40mm bore cylinder provides 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -75 adjust code means you can trim up to 75mm at the rear, creating a usable stroke window of 50-125mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
