This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ25X300-40, 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 MALJ25X300-40 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 40 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 260 to 300 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ25X300-40.
The AirTAC MALJ25X300-40 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 300 mm stroke. A rear stopper screw lets you trim up to 40 mm, creating a usable end-position window of 260-300 mm without adding external stops. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X300-40, matching the bore, stroke, port, and force.
This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The MALJ uses a fixed rubber bumper and threaded covers, whereas the MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to fine-tune reach; it does not hold load without live air pressure, so use an external lock for safety. With a 300 mm stroke on a 10 mm rod, minimize side-load to prevent rod bending.

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 MBLJ25X300-40 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 MBLJ25X300-40 matches these values.

| 25 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×300 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -40 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 260–300 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.
Adjust the rear stopper to tune the 300 mm extension for varying corrugated carton heights on a packaging line, ensuring the 206 N pull retracts the folder clear of the box.
Trim the end position by 40 mm to eject molded plastic parts from a deep cavity press, preventing the rod from overextending and stressing the 10 mm rod under side-load.
To replace this MALJ25X300-40, order the direct replacement MBLJ25X300-40. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and PT thread. Mounting is Basic, FA, or LB only (no back cover or SDB allowed). Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot hold a sensor; the MBLJ upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if sensing is later required. Remember the adjuster is a stop, not a lock.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ25X300-40 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X300-40, matching the 25 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and force. The MBLJ upgrades the threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body.
The -40 adjust code allows trimming up to 40 mm at the rear, yielding a usable stroke window of 260-300 mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
