This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ40X25-10, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 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 direct replacement is the MBLJ40X25-10.
The AirTAC MALJ40X25-10 is a discontinued adjustable-stroke mini cylinder, directly replaced by the direct replacement MBLJ40X25-10. It is a double-acting double-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.
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.

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.

MALJ is double-rod: the rear rod that carries the stroke adjuster passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area. Push is shown at the annular-area value (conservative), lower than a single-rod MAL push of the same bore. The MBLJ40X25-10 matches these values.

| 40 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×25 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 15–25 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.
Fine-tune the 25mm stroke to crimp wire terminals accurately without changing hard stops, leveraging 528N pull for reliable retraction.
Adjust the end position to cap various bottle heights on a single line, ensuring consistent torque without over-compressing the caps.
To replace the MALJ40X25-10, use the exact direct replacement 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.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ40X25-10 is discontinued. The direct 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 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.
