This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLJ40X200-100 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLJ40X200-100 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).

About the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-100
The AirTAC MALJ40X200-100 is a discontinued 40mm bore adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. The drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X200-100, matching the bore, stroke, force, and G1/4 port. This SKU uses a rear screw stopper to trim up to 100mm of travel, giving a usable window of 100-200mm. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa.
The adjuster sets the end position but is a travel stop, not a lock, so it will not hold a load without live air. This unit has no magnet and cannot take a position sensor. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion. Upgrade details: the MBLJ swaps the threaded covers for a riveted rolling-packed body.
Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-100 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-100 |
|---|---|

| Adjustable window | 100 – 200 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, adjustable stroke |
| Port size | G1/4 |

| 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 MBLJ40X200-100 carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
Single-rod force, same as a standard MAL of this bore. The MBLJ40X200-100 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-100 Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Dial the 100-200mm window to set router depth on a PCB prototyping machine, using the 628N push at 0.5MPa to plunge the tool accurately.
Carton Sealer Flap Fold
Adjust the rear stopper on a packaging line carton sealer to fold varying flap heights without swapping hardware, relying on the fixed rubber bumper for soft impact.
Leather Press Skiver
Fine-tune the skiving depth on a leather splitting press, using the travel stop to set the exact end position for the 16mm rod without needing live air to hold the tool.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-100 with MBLJ40X200-100
To replace this MALJ40X200-100, use the MBLJ40X200-100. Confirm the 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, 100mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). The adjuster is a stop, not a lock; add an external lock for held loads. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; the MBLJ upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
Size both ways: stepping down to the 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up is unavailable as 40mm is the largest MALJ. For the 200mm stroke, use a guide rod to prevent side-load bending on the 16mm rod.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ40X200-100 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 100–200 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 MBLJ40X200-100 instead of this discontinued model.
