This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLJ40X200-10 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLJ40X200-10 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 MALJ40X200-10
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-10 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 10 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 190 to 200 mm. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X200-10.

About the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-10
The AirTAC MALJ40X200-10 is a discontinued 40mm bore, double-acting adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. It has a 200mm stroke with a 10mm rear adjuster, giving a usable travel window of 190-200mm. This 40mm bore delivers 628N push and 528N pull force at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X200-10, matching the bore, stroke, adjust code, and G1/4 port.
This SKU has no magnet (-S code absent), so it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MALJ uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, whereas the MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear adjuster acts as a travel stop to fine-tune the end position, but it does not hold the load without live air pressure.
Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-10 |

| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 200 mm |
| Adjustable window | 190 – 200 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, adjustable stroke |
| Port size | G1/4 |
| Rod thread | M12×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.1 – 1.0 MPa |

| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 500 mm |
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 MBLJ40X200-10 carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

Where the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-10 Is Used
Packaging Carton Erector
Dials in the 190-200mm push stroke to fold corrugated flaps precisely, using the 628N force to break cardboard creases without crushing the carton.
PCB Depaneling Router
Provides a hard 200mm reach with a 10mm float to absorb cutter vibration, securely pressing the fixture while the router separates the board.
Woodworking Edge Bander
Trims the 10mm rear stop to set the exact 195mm clamp depth for applying edge banding to varying panel thicknesses, ensuring a flush glue line.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-10 with MBLJ40X200-10
To replace the MALJ40X200-10, order the exact drop-in MBLJ40X200-10. Confirm the 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, 10mm adjust code, M12x1.25 rod-end thread, and PT G1/4 port. Mounting is Basic, FA, or LB only; there is no back cover or SDB option. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot hold a sensor; upgrading to the MBLJ allows the use of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
The 10mm adjuster is a travel stop, not a load lock. If sizing from scratch, the next size down is the 32mm bore (402N push at 0.5MPa) for lighter loads, and the 40mm is the largest in this mini series. For any 200mm stroke, use guide rails to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ40X200-10 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 190–200 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 MBLJ40X200-10 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-10 FAQ
Yes, the MALJ40X200-10 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X200-10, which matches the 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, 10mm adjust code, and G1/4 port. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design, but force ratings remain the same.
This 40mm bore cylinder provides 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 880N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The 10mm rear adjuster allows you to trim the end position, creating a usable stroke window of 190-200mm. The adjuster is a travel stop only, not a lock, and this no-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor.
