This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the drop-in replacement MBLJ40X150-50SH, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 MALJ40X150-50SH
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X150-50SH is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 50 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 100 to 150 mm. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X150-50SH.

About the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X150-50SH
The AirTAC MALJ40X150-50SH is a discontinued double-acting single-rod mini cylinder with a 40mm bore and 150mm stroke. The -50 adjust code provides a 50mm rear travel stop, creating a usable stroke window of 100-150mm so you can dial in the exact end position without external spacers. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, features a G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and a fixed rubber bumper. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X150-50SH.
This SKU includes the -S magnet and H seal option. The MALJ uses threaded covers and the older CS1-M/DS1-M sensors, while the MBLJ replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Remember the adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. Mounting is FA or LB only with no back cover or SDB.

Where the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X150-50SH Is Used
Thermoforming Press
Dial in the 100-150mm window on a 628N push rod to set precise mold depth on a thermoforming press without machining new spacers.
Pallet Dispenser
Adjust the rear stop to fine-tune the pick height in an empty pallet dispenser, using the 880N push at 0.7MPa to break sticky stacks.
Bending Fixture
Set exact material deflection limits on a manual bending fixture, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the end impact.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X150-50SH with MBLJ40X150-50SH
To replace the MALJ40X150-50SH, order the MBLJ40X150-50SH. Confirm the 40mm bore, 150mm stroke, 50mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT threads, and FA/LB mounting. The -S magnet sensor family changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock, so add an external lock for held loads. If sizing force, step down to the 32mm bore (402N push at 0.5MPa) or step up if more force is needed. For a 150mm stroke, use central support to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ40X150-50SH (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 100–150 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 MBLJ40X150-50SH instead of this discontinued model.
