This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLJ40X350-100 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLJ40X350-100 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 MALJ40X350-100
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X350-100 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 250 to 350 mm. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X350-100.

About the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X350-100
The AirTAC MALJ40X350-100 is a discontinued double-acting single-rod mini cylinder with a 40 mm bore and a 350 mm stroke. It features a rear travel stop that lets you trim up to 100 mm, creating a usable end-position window of 250-350 mm. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull force. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X350-100, which matches the bore, stroke, G1/4 port and mounting footprint.
This SKU has no magnet and cannot accept a position sensor. Upgrading to the MBLJ changes the switch family from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG if a sensor is later needed, and upgrades the threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body. The fixed rubber bumper softens end impact, but the adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, so it cannot hold a load without live air. On a 350 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by guiding the load to avoid side-load stress.

Where the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X350-100 Is Used
Pallet Conveyor Stops
Dial the stroke window from 250-350 mm to act as a depth stop for pallets, using the 628 N push force to halt heavy workpieces without adding external stop blocks.
Thermoforming Presses
Fine-tune the mould open height by trimming the rear screw up to 100 mm, synchronizing the 880 N push at 0.7 MPa to the exact plastic sheet thickness.
Woodworking Edge Banders
Set the end position to press edge banding materials, using the fixed rubber bumper to soften the impact at the end of the 350 mm travel without needing an air cushion.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X350-100 with MBLJ40X350-100
To replace this MALJ40X350-100, order the exact drop-in MBLJ40X350-100. Confirm the 40 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, 100 mm adjust code, PT G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod thread and FA/LB mounting. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor; if you need sensing, the MBLJ equivalent requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Remember the adjuster is a stop, not a lock. Because the 350 mm stroke is long, ensure your guidance system prevents side-load rod bending.
For sizing both ways, the next size down is the 32 mm bore, giving 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The 40 mm bore is the largest in this family, so there is no larger standard size available.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ40X350-100 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 250–350 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 MBLJ40X350-100 instead of this discontinued model.
