This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ25X150-50S, 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 MALJ25X150-50-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 100 to 150 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ25X150-50-S.
The AirTAC MALJ25X150-50-S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod mini cylinder with a rear adjustable stroke stopper. It provides a usable extension window of 100-150 mm by trimming up to 50 mm at the rear screw. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X150-50-S, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for position sensing. The legacy MAL uses CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, whereas the MBLJ upgrade takes CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MAL features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MBLJ uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but cannot hold a load without live air pressure.

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 MBLJ25X150-50-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 MBLJ25X150-50-S matches these values.

| 25 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×150 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -50 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 100–150 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-tunes the folding arm end position on packaging lines to accommodate different box heights, preventing crushing with the fixed rubber bumper.
Sets precise material take-up reach. The rear stopper holds the set position, while the CS1-M sensor confirms the adjusted stroke end.
To replace this MALJ25X150-50-S, order the MBLJ25X150-50-S. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. Mounting is FA or LB only; there is no back cover or SDB option. Remember the adjuster is a stop, not a lock. At 150 mm stroke, mind rod side-load to prevent premature seal wear.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ25X150-50-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X150-50-S, which matches the 25 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. You will need to upgrade your sensors from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
The usable stroke window is 100-150 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245 N and pulls 206 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 343 N. The maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and cannot hold a load without air.
