This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLJ40X200-100-S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLJ40X200-100-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).
Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-100-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-100-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 100 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 100 to 200 mm. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X200-100-S.

About the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-100-S
The AirTAC MALJ40X200-100-S is a discontinued 40mm bore adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. It delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The 100 mm adjuster screw trims the rear travel, creating a usable 100-200 mm end-position window without external stops. The drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X200-100-S, matching the bore, stroke, G1/4 port and 128 kgf max force.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MBLJ upgrade shifts to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The MALJ uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MBLJ uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, so it cannot hold a load without live air pressure.

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

Where the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-100-S Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis Depth
Dial the 100-200 mm window to set precise Z-axis travel on a PCB depaneling router, using the 628 N force to plunge the spindle without stressing the 40 mm bore.
Carton Flap Folder
Adjust the rear stop on a packaging line to fold varying cardboard flap depths, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the 880 N @0.7 MPa end impact.
Pneumatic Press Sub-assembly
Tune the pressing distance for bearing insertion on a sub-assembly fixture, using the M12x1.25 rod thread to mount custom tooling within the 100-200 mm reach.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-100-S with MBLJ40X200-100-S
To replace this MALJ40X200-100-S, order the drop-in MBLJ40X200-100-S. Confirm the 40 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 100 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Swap your CS1-M/DS1-M sensors for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The rear adjuster sets end position but is not a lock; add an external lock for held loads. If sizing differently, step down to the 32 mm bore (402 N push @0.5 MPa) or step up if you need more force. At 200 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by managing side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ40X200-100-S (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-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-100-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ40X200-100-S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X200-100-S, matching the 40 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 100 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, and FA/LB mounting. You must upgrade your sensors: the MALJ -S magnet uses CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MBLJ uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The 100 mm adjust code lets you trim the rear travel, creating a usable stroke window from 100 mm to 200 mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock. 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.
