This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLJ40X60-10 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLJ40X60-10 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 MALJ40X60-10
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X60-10 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 50 to 60 mm. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X60-10.

About the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X60-10
The AirTAC MALJ40X60-10 is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a 10 mm rear stroke adjuster, providing a usable travel window of 50-60 mm. As a 40 mm bore unit, it delivers 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The direct drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X60-10, which matches the bore, stroke, G1/4 port, and 128 kgf maximum force.
This SKU lacks the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot accept a position sensor. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. The original MALJ features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MBLJ upgrade transitions to a riveted rolling-packed body for modern durability.

Where the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X60-10 Is Used
PCB Router Depth Stop
Dial in the 50-60 mm stroke window to set exact Z-axis plunge depth on a PCB depaneling router, leveraging the 628 N push force to maintain consistent cutting pressure.
Aluminum Extrusion Notching
Fine-tune the end position without external shims when notching aluminum profiles, using the 10 mm rear stopper to perfectly match varying profile lengths on the fly.
Pneumatic Press Pin Insertion
Drive connector pins into automotive harness blocks with 880 N of force at 0.7 MPa, adjusting the final 10 mm of travel to prevent over-stressing the plastic housing.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X60-10 with MBLJ40X60-10
To replace the MALJ40X60-10, order the exact drop-in MBLJ40X60-10. Confirm the 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB allowed). Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, step up to an MBLJ40X60-10S and use the newer CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M. Remember the adjuster sets the end stop but does not lock the load.
For sizing flexibility, you can step down to a 32 mm bore (yielding 402 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your application requires less force, or step up if you need more capacity. The 40 mm bore is the largest in this mini series, utilizing a 16 mm hard-chrome rod and M12x1.25 rod-end thread to handle the 880 N push force at 0.7 MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ40X60-10 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 50–60 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 MBLJ40X60-10 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X60-10 FAQ
Yes, the MALJ40X60-10 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X60-10, which matches the 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, and G1/4 port. The MBLJ upgrades the construction with a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers.
The 40 mm bore provides 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -10 adjust code allows you to trim the rear position by up to 10 mm, creating a usable stroke window of 50-60 mm. This adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without air pressure.
