This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ25X300-50, 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 MALJ25X300-50 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 250 to 300 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ25X300-50.
The AirTAC MALJ25X300-50 is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a 50 mm rear adjustable stroke stopper. It gives a usable end-position window of 250-300 mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X300-50, matching the 300 mm stroke, 50 mm adjuster, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting.
This SKU lacks the -S suffix, so it cannot take a position sensor. The rear adjuster sets travel but is a stop, not a lock; it will not hold a load without live air. The fixed rubber bumper softens end impact. Upgrading to the MBLJ25X300-50 changes the construction from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body, and if you later need a sensor, the MBLJ uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.

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 MBLJ25X300-50 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 MBLJ25X300-50 matches these values.

|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×300 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -50 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 250–300 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.
Dial in the 250-300 mm reach on a printed-circuit-board conveyor gate.
Set exact 270 mm flap tuck depth on a packaging line. The rear stopper lets you tune the fold without machining new hardstops, while the fixed bumper absorbs the 300 mm stroke impact.
Act as a depth stop for a textile loom beam loader. The 206 N pull force retracts the stop clear of the warp beam, and the 50 mm adjust window fine-tunes the loading cradle position.
To replace the MALJ25X300-50, order the exact MBLJ25X300-50 direct. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust code, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Because this is a no-S SKU, it cannot accept a sensor; the MBLJ upgrade opens the door to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if needed. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a load lock.
At 300 mm stroke on a 25 mm bore, use careful guide alignment to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ25X300-50 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X300-50. It matches the 25 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 50 mm adjuster, G1/8 port, and 50 kgf max force. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design from the original threaded covers.
The 50 mm rear adjuster provides a usable stroke window from 250 mm to 300 mm. Remember the adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it cannot hold a load without continuous air pressure.
