This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ25X160-75, 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 MALJ25X160-75
The AirTAC MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-75 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 75 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 85 to 160 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ25X160-75.

About the Airtac MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-75
The AirTAC MALJ25X160-75 is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a 75 mm rear adjustable stroke stopper, yielding a usable travel window of 85-160 mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X160-75, matching the 25 mm bore, G1/8 port, and 50 kgf max force.
This SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept a position sensor (unlike the MBLJ upgrade, which uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches). The rear adjuster is a mechanical travel stop, not a lock; it cannot hold a load without live air pressure. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact absorption, and its threaded covers differ from the riveted rolling-packed body of the modern MBLJ line.

| Stroke | 160 mm |
| Adjustable window | 85 – 160 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, adjustable stroke |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |

| Max standard stroke | Up to 300 mm |
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 MBLJ25X160-75 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 MBLJ25X160-75 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-75 Is Used
Wire Forming Tip
Fine-tune the bend radius on a wire former by adjusting the rear stopper up to 75 mm, ensuring the 206 N pull retracts the forming tip clear of the wire cage.
Dispense Valve Probe
Set a precise lower end-position for a viscosity probe on a resin dispenser, trimming 75 mm off the 160 mm stroke to protect the nozzle from tank bottom impact.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-75 with MBLJ25X160-75
To replace the MALJ25X160-75, order the MBLJ25X160-75. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 160 mm base stroke, 75 mm adjust code, M10x1.25 rod thread, PT G1/8 port, and FA or LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Because this SKU has no -S magnet, you cannot mount a sensor; the MBLJ upgrade requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a load lock.
At 160 mm stroke, ensure your guiding is straight to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ25X160-75 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 85–160 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 MBLJ25X160-75 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X160-75 FAQ
Yes, the MALJ25X160-75 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X160-75, which matches the 25 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 75 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and 50 kgf max force. The MBLJ upgrades the threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body.
The 75 mm rear adjuster is a travel stop that lets you trim the 160 mm stroke down to a usable 85 mm window; it is not a lock and cannot hold a load without air pressure.
