This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLJ40X200-10-S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLJ40X200-10-S 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).

The AirTAC Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-10-S 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-S.
The AirTAC MALJ40X200-10-S is a discontinued double-acting, single-rod mini cylinder with a rear adjustable stroke stopper. It features a 40 mm bore, a 200 mm stroke, and a 10 mm rear adjuster, giving a usable end-position window of 190-200 mm. It delivers 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X200-10-S, which matches the bore, stroke, force, G1/4 port, and mounting.
This SKU includes the -S magnet, which uses the older CS1-M or DS1-M switches on the MAL threaded-cover body; the MBLJ replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, so it will not hold a load without live air. Impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper, as there is no adjustable air cushion.

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-S carries the same ratings.

Single-rod force, same as a standard MAL of this bore. The MBLJ40X200-10-S matches these values.

|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×200 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 190–200 mm window. |
| S | Optional magnet for a CS1-M / DS1-M sensor (MBLJ uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). |
Replacement: MALJ → MBLJ. No back-cover (CA/U/CM) and no SDB. Mounting: FA / LB.
Dial the 190-200 mm reach to set the exact blade cut depth on a depaneling router, using the 628 N force to drive the carriage without over-traveling the fixture.
Fine-tune the end position on a 40 mm profile cutoff die, trimming 10 mm at the rear stop to adjust for blade thickness without changing the cylinder body.
Adjust the 200 mm stroke window to match varying box heights on a packaging line, ensuring the 880 N push at 0.7 MPa squarely folds major flaps before tape application.
To replace the MALJ40X200-10-S, order the MBLJ40X200-10-S. Confirm the 40 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and LB or FA mounting (there is no back cover or SDB option). The -S magnet means you must switch from the old CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the MBLJ's CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Remember the adjuster sets the end position but does not hold load without air.
For sizing, the neighbouring 32 mm bore gives 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore is the largest in this mini series, offering 628 N push and 128 kgf max. At a 200 mm stroke, prevent rod-bending by guiding the load to minimize side-load stress on the 16 mm rod.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ40X200-10-S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X200-10-S, which matches the 40 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, force, G1/4 port, and mounting. You will need to upgrade your switches from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family, as the MBLJ uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers.
The 40 mm bore delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 10 mm adjuster is a rear travel stop that lets you trim the end position, creating a usable stroke window from 190 to 200 mm. It is not a lock and cannot hold a load without live air; end impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper.
