This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ40X275-75-S, 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).

About the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X275-75-S
The AirTAC MALJ40X275-75-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. It features a 40mm bore, a 275mm stroke, and a 75mm rear adjuster, yielding a usable travel window of 200-275mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ40X275-75-S, matching the bore, stroke, adjuster, G1/4 port, and force.
This SKU includes a magnet (-S) for legacy CS1-M/DS1-M switches; the MBLJ upgrade moves 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 rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but cannot hold a load without live air.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 108 kgf | |
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 MBLJ40X275-75-S matches these values.

Replacing the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X275-75-S with MBLJ40X275-75-S
To replace the MALJ40X275-75-S, order the exact direct replacement MBLJ40X275-75-S. Confirm the 40mm bore, 275mm stroke, 75mm adjust code, PT G1/4 port, and M12x1.25 rod-end thread. Mounting is FA or LB only (no back cover or SDB). The -S magnet means a sensor family change from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
At 275mm stroke, the 16mm rod is prone to bending under side loads; guide the load externally to prevent rod distortion.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ40X275-75-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 200–275 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 MBLJ40X275-75-S instead of this discontinued model.
