This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ25X160-30, 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 MALJ25X160-30
The AirTAC MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-30 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 130 to 160 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ25X160-30.

About the Airtac MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-30
The AirTAC MALJ25X160-30 is a discontinued adjustable-stroke, double-acting double-rod mini cylinder. It lets you trim the rear end position by up to 30 mm, creating a usable stroke window of 130-160 mm without external stops.
The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X160-30, matching the bore, stroke, force, and port. This SKU lacks a -S magnet, so it cannot take a position sensor. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. The fixed rubber bumper softens end impact, and the original threaded covers upgrade to a riveted body on the MBLJ.

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 MBLJ25X160-30 carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 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 MBLJ25X160-30 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-30 Is Used
Wire Straightener Tensioner
Fine-tune the back position on a wire straightening feeder to maintain consistent tension on copper wire, letting the 206 N pull force guide the material while avoiding over-travel.
Carton Flap Folder
Adjust the end position on a packaging line flap folder to accommodate varying box heights, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the 0.5 MPa impact without damaging the cardboard.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-30 with MBLJ25X160-30
Replace the MALJ25X160-30 directly with the MBLJ25X160-30, confirming the 25 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and PT thread. Mounting is Basic, FA, or LB only; there is no back-cover or SDB option. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if you need sensing, the MBLJ upgrade moves from the old CS1-M / DS1-M switches to the CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family. Remember the adjuster is a stop, not a lock.
At 160 mm stroke, mind rod side-load; ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ25X160-30 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 130–160 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 MBLJ25X160-30 instead of this discontinued model.
