This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLJ40X200-50 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLJ40X200-50 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 MALJ40X200-50
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-50 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 50 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 150 to 200 mm. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X200-50.

About the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-50
The AirTAC MALJ40X200-50 is a discontinued 40mm bore, double-acting single-rod mini cylinder with a 50mm rear adjustable stroke stopper. This yields a usable travel window of 150-200mm. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull force at 0.5MPa, and 880N push at 0.7MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X200-50, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/4 port, and mounting.
This SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot take a position sensor. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. Unlike the older threaded covers on this MALJ, the MBLJ replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Impact is absorbed solely by a fixed rubber bumper, as there is no adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-50 Is Used
PCB Edge Router Depth Stop
Dial the 150-200mm window to set a precise Z-axis plunge for a PCB depaneling router, using the 628N push force to hold the spindle carriage firmly against the rear stop.
Injection Mold Ejector Pin
Trim the stroke by up to 50mm to time the ejection of plastic parts from a mold cavity, preventing the 16mm rod from over-traveling and marking the parting line.
Carton Sealer Flap Fold
Fine-tune the folding arm reach on a packaging line carton sealer, ensuring the 880N force at 0.7MPa crisply folds major flaps without crushing the corrugated board.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-50 with MBLJ40X200-50
To replace the MALJ40X200-50, order the MBLJ40X200-50. Confirm the 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, 50mm adjust code, G1/4 port, and M12x1.25 rod-end thread. Mounting is Basic, FA, or LB only (no back cover or SDB). Since this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; the MBLJ upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if sensing is needed. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock.
For sizing, step down to the 32mm bore (402N push @0.5MPa) or up to the 40mm bore's maximum standard stroke range. With a 200mm stroke, minimize side-load on the 16mm rod to prevent bending and premature seal wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ40X200-50 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 150–200 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 MBLJ40X200-50 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X200-50 FAQ
Yes, the MALJ40X200-50 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X200-50, which matches the 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, 50mm adjuster, G1/4 port, and 128kgf max force. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if a magnet is added.
The full force set is 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 880N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The 50mm adjuster code lets you trim the rear travel stop, creating a usable stroke window of 150-200mm. The adjuster is a travel stop only, not a lock, and will not hold a load without continuous air pressure.
