This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ25X100-30S, 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 MALJ25X100-30-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 30 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 70 to 100 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ25X100-30-S.
The AirTAC MALJ25X100-30-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a 100 mm stroke and a 30 mm rear adjuster, giving a usable travel window of 70-100 mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X100-30-S, matching the 25 mm bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This -S SKU carries a magnet for legacy CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, which upgrades to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG solid-state switches on the MBLJ. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, meaning it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. The original MALJ uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, whereas the MBLJ features a riveted rolling-packed body.

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 MBLJ25X100-30-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 MBLJ25X100-30-S matches these values.

Replacement: MALJ → MBLJ. No back-cover (CA/U/CM) and no SDB. Mounting: FA / LB.
Fine-tune the 100 mm reach on a packaging line carton erector, shortening the stroke by 30 mm to accommodate varying box heights while tucking flaps at 0.5 MPa.
Set a precise end position for pressing snap-fit caps into small aluminum housings, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the impact at the adjusted 80 mm mark.
To replace this MALJ25X100-30-S, order the MBLJ25X100-30-S. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB is used). Swap the CS1-M/DS1-M sensors for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The rear screw is a travel stop, not a lock, so add an external lock for held loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ25X100-30-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X100-30-S, which matches the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 30 mm adjuster, G1/8 port, and force. You will need to upgrade your CS1-M/DS1-M sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches for the new riveted body.
The 30 mm adjuster lets you trim the rear end position, creating a usable stroke window of 70-100 mm. The adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without air pressure.
