This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLJ40X25-10 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLJ40X25-10 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 MALJ40X25-10
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X25-10 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 15 to 25 mm. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X25-10.

About the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X25-10
The AirTAC MALJ40X25-10 is a discontinued adjustable-stroke mini cylinder, directly replaced by the drop-in MBLJ40X25-10. It is a double-acting single-rod unit with a 40mm bore and a 25mm stroke. The rear adjuster allows you to trim up to 10mm, creating a usable end-position window of 15-25mm. At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 628N push and 528N pull force.
This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The adjuster functions purely as a travel stop, not a load lock. Upgrading to the MBLJ40X25-10 swaps the old threaded covers for a riveted rolling-packed body while retaining the G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and fixed rubber bumper.
Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X25-10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X25-10 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALJ adjustable-stroke mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLJ40X25-10 |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 25 mm |
| Adjustable window | 15 – 25 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 |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 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 MBLJ40X25-10 carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
Single-rod force, same as a standard MAL of this bore. The MBLJ40X25-10 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X25-10 Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Dial the 15-25mm window to set router plunge depth precisely, using the 628N push force to maintain bit pressure on copper-clad panels.
Connector Crimp Press
Fine-tune the 25mm stroke to crimp wire terminals accurately without changing hard stops, leveraging 528N pull for reliable retraction.
Bottle Capper Head
Adjust the end position to cap various bottle heights on a single line, ensuring consistent torque without over-compressing the caps.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X25-10 with MBLJ40X25-10
To replace the MALJ40X25-10, use the exact drop-in MBLJ40X25-10. Confirm the 40mm bore, 25mm stroke, 10mm adjust code, PT G1/4 port, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; the MBLJ upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The adjuster sets end position but does not hold load without air.
For sizing, step down to the 32mm bore for 402N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 50mm bore for higher force. This 40mm bore provides 880N push at 0.7 MPa, making it ideal for medium-duty tasks.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ40X25-10 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 15–25 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 MBLJ40X25-10 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X25-10 FAQ
Yes, the MALJ40X25-10 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X25-10, which matches the 40mm bore, 25mm stroke, 10mm adjust code, and G1/4 port. The MBLJ upgrades the threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body.
The MALJ40X25-10 provides 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 10mm adjuster creates a usable stroke window of 15-25mm. This adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it cannot hold a load without live air. Additionally, this non-S SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a position sensor.
