This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLJ40X150-75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLJ40X150-75 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 MALJ40X150-75
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X150-75 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 75 to 150 mm. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X150-75.

About the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X150-75
The AirTAC MALJ40X150-75 is a discontinued 40mm bore, double-acting single-rod mini cylinder with a 75mm rear adjuster. The rear screw lets you trim the end position, creating a usable stroke window of 75-150mm without adding external stops. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull force at 0.5MPa, uses a G1/4 port, and has a fixed rubber bumper. This SKU has no magnet and cannot take a sensor.
The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X150-75, matching the 40mm bore, 150mm stroke, 75mm adjust code, force, and G1/4 port. Upgrading swaps the threaded covers for a riveted rolling-packed body. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air.

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 MBLJ40X150-75 carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

Where the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X150-75 Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Dialing the 75-150mm window sets exact router bit depth on a PCB depaneling machine, using the 628N push force to maintain a firm cut without crashing the stroke end.
Aluminum Extrusion Notcher
Adjusts the notch depth for aluminum profiles, relying on the 40mm bore's 528N pull force to cleanly retract the tooling from deep cuts without needing external mechanical stops.
Packaging Carton Flap Folder
Fine-tunes the folding arm reach on a case erector, trimming up to 75mm at the rear to handle varying carton heights while the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the 880N end impact.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X150-75 with MBLJ40X150-75
Replace the MALJ40X150-75 with the exact MBLJ40X150-75 drop-in. Confirm the 40mm bore, 150mm stroke, 75mm adjust code, PT G1/4 port, and M12x1.25 rod thread. Mounting is FA or LB only; there is no back cover or SDB option. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot hold a sensor; if you need position detection on the new unit, specify an MBLJ-S model to use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M. The adjuster sets end position but does not lock the load.
To size either direction: stepping down to the 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up is not available as 40mm is the largest MALJ bore. For a 150mm stroke, use a guide rail to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ40X150-75 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 75–150 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 MBLJ40X150-75 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X150-75 FAQ
Yes, the MALJ40X150-75 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X150-75, which matches the 40mm bore, 150mm stroke, 75mm adjust code, G1/4 port, and mounting. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design from the original threaded covers.
The 40mm bore provides 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 880N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The 75mm adjuster is a travel stop that lets you trim the usable stroke window down to 75-150mm; it does not lock the load without live air. This SKU has no -S magnet and cannot accept a position sensor.
