This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ25X100-50S, 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 MALJ25X100-50-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 50 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 50 to 100 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ25X100-50-S.
The AirTAC MALJ25X100-50-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a rear adjustable stop. The 50 mm adjust code lets you trim the end position, creating a usable stroke window from 50 to 100 mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X100-50-S, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MBLJ upgrade shifts to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The MALJ uses threaded covers, while the MBLJ features a riveted rolling-packed body. Remember the 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 absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper.

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 MBLJ25X100-50-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 MBLJ25X100-50-S matches these values.

|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×100 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -50 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 50–100 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.
Fine-tune the 50-100 mm stroke window to tuck varying carton sizes, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the rapid end-of-stroke impact.
Set the travel stop to seat small bearings consistently without bottoming out, using the 206 N pull force to retract the tooling safely.
To replace the MALJ25X100-50-S, order the MBLJ25X100-50-S. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). The -S magnet means you must switch from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The adjuster sets the end position but does not hold load without air, so add an external lock for suspended loads. At 100 mm stroke, watch rod bending under heavy side loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ25X100-50-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X100-50-S, which matches the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and force. You must upgrade your sensors from the old CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
The 50 mm adjust code creates a usable stroke window of 50-100 mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
