This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ25X100-20S, 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 MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X100-20-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 20 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 80 to 100 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ25X100-20-S.
The AirTAC MALJ25X100-20-S is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a rear adjustable stroke. The -20 code provides a 20 mm rear trim, yielding a usable 80-100 mm end-position window. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X100-20-S.
This -S SKU uses a CS1-M or DS1-M magnet sensor, whereas the MBLJ upgrade transitions to CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The original MALJ features threaded covers, while the MBLJ uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The adjuster acts as a travel stop to fine-tune reach without external bolts, but it does not hold load without live air.

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 MBLJ25X100-20-S carries the same ratings.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.5 MPa | 206 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 289 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 42 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 MBLJ25X100-20-S matches these values.
| MALJ | Adjustable-stroke aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×100 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 80–100 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.
Dials the 80-100 mm cutter plunge depth precisely.
Sets the exact facing depth for copper tube cuts. The 20 mm window allows rapid tool setup changes across batches, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften impact.
Fine-tunes the wipe stroke for applying labels to cartons. The 206 N pull retracts the pad reliably, and the CS1-M magnet confirms the adjusted end position.
To replace this MALJ25X100-20-S, install the direct replacement MBLJ25X100-20-S. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA or LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Change your sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. The adjuster sets the end position but is not a lock; add an external lock to hold loads.
Stroke is under the 300 mm limit, so rod bending is minimal.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ25X100-20-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X100-20-S, matching the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. You must change sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The -20 code allows trimming up to 20 mm, creating a usable 80-100 mm stroke window. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
