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

About the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X60-10-S
The AirTAC MALJ40X60-10-S is a discontinued double-acting single-rod cylinder with a 40 mm bore and a 60 mm stroke. A rear screw lets you trim the end position by up to 10 mm, creating a usable 50-60 mm window without external stops. It delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X60-10-S, matching the bore, stroke, adjust code, G1/4 port, and mounting.
This -S variant carries a magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches; the MBLJ upgrade moves to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors and swaps the threaded covers for a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock. It sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. End impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper, as there is no adjustable air cushion.

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 MBLJ40X60-10-S carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

Where the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X60-10-S Is Used
PCB Router Depth Stop
Dial in the 50-60 mm stroke window on a printed circuit board depaneling router. The 628 N push force holds the cutting head firmly while the rear stopper dials the exact cutting depth without external spacers.
Aluminum Extrusion Notcher
Trimming the stroke by 10 mm sets a precise notch depth on an aluminum profile milling fixture. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs the 880 N peak extension force at 0.7 MPa, protecting the profile from impact marks.
Pallet Wrapper Film Clamp
Fine-tune the film gripper on a stretch wrap machine. The 40 mm bore provides 528 N pull to hold the film tail, while the rear adjuster lets operators shift the clamp position by 10 mm to match different pallet widths.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X60-10-S with MBLJ40X60-10-S
To replace this MALJ40X60-10-S with the MBLJ40X60-10-S, confirm the 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/4 PT port, and M12x1.25 rod-end thread. Mounting is Basic, FA, or LB only; there is no back-cover or SDB option. You must also update your sensors: the old CS1-M/DS1-M switches will not fit the new body, so select CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG units. Remember the adjuster sets the end position but does not lock the load.
When sizing, step down to the 32 mm bore for 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up if you need more force. This 40 mm bore yields 628 N push and 880 N at 0.7 MPa. If your stroke approaches or exceeds 300 mm, use a guide to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ40X60-10-S (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-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ40 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ40X60-10-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ40X60-10-S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLJ40X60-10-S. It matches the 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/4 port, and mounting. You will need to switch your old CS1-M/DS1-M sensors to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG family.
The usable stroke window is 50-60 mm, set by trimming the rear stopper up to 10 mm. The 40 mm bore delivers 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 adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and cannot hold a load without air pressure.
