This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ25X160-100, 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).
Airtac MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-100
The AirTAC MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-100 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 100 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 60 to 160 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ25X160-100.

About the Airtac MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-100
The AirTAC MALJ25X160-100 is a discontinued adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X160-100, matching the 25mm bore, 160mm stroke, G1/8 port, and 100mm adjustment range. By dialing the rear screw, you get a usable stroke window from 60 mm up to 160 mm without external stops.
The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor. Upgrading to the MBLJ replaces the threaded covers with a riveted rolling-packed body. If you previously used CS1-M or DS1-M switches, the MBLJ requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

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 MBLJ25X160-100 carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø25mm)
| 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 MBLJ25X160-100 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-100 Is Used
Label Applicator Stroke
Fine-tune the tamp stroke on a bottle label applicator to accommodate different container heights, using the rear stopper to shorten the reach without swapping the entire cylinder assembly.
Wire Straightener Clamp
Adjust the clamping reach on a CNC wire straightening machine to feed varying wire lengths accurately, relying on the 206 N pull force to retract the rod cleanly after each cut cycle.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-100 with MBLJ25X160-100
To replace this MALJ25X160-100, order the direct replacement MBLJ25X160-100. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 100 mm adjust code, PT G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. Mounting is FA or LB only; there is no back cover or SDB option. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a load lock. At 160 mm stroke, mind rod bending under side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ25X160-100 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 60–160 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 MBLJ25X160-100 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-100 FAQ
Yes, the MALJ25X160-100 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X160-100, which matches the 25 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 100 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and mounting. The MBLJ upgrades the threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this MALJ lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; if you need one on the MBLJ, use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M.
At 0.7 MPa, push is 343 N, and the maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 100 mm adjust code lets you trim the rear stopper, creating a usable stroke window from 60 mm to 160 mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, so it cannot hold a load without live air. End impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper; there is no adjustable air cushion.
