This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ25X350-40, 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 MALJ25X350-40 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 310 to 350 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ25X350-40.
It uses a rear screw stopper to trim the end position by up to 40mm, giving a usable stroke window of 310-350mm. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end impacts, but note this adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock. This SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept a position sensor.
The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X350-40, matching the 25mm bore, 350mm stroke, 40mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and 50 kgf max force. Upgrading brings a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the older threaded covers, and if you ever need a sensor, the MBLJ uses modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M family.

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 MBLJ25X350-40 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 MBLJ25X350-40 matches these values.
| MALJ | Adjustable-stroke aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×350 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -40 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 310–350 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.
Fine-tunes the knife extension reach on a roll-to-roll splicing station, trimming the stroke window to 310mm to cut delicate films accurately without over-travel.
Drives a long packaging arm where the exact end position must be dialed in on-site; the 206N pull force reliably retracts the mechanism against spring tension.
To replace this MALJ25X350-40, order the direct replacement MBLJ25X350-40. Confirm the 25mm bore, 350mm non-standard stroke, 40mm adjust code, PT thread form, and FA/LB mounting (this series uses no back cover or SDB). Because this is a non-magnet SKU, it cannot hold a sensor; if your upgrade needs sensing, specify an MBLJ with the -S option to use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Remember the rear adjuster sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air.
At 350mm, the long stroke makes the rod vulnerable to bending under side loads—ensure adequate guiding to prevent rod damage.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ25X350-40 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X350-40, matching the 25mm bore, 350mm stroke, 40mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design from the original threaded covers.
The 350mm stroke exceeds the 25mm bore's 300mm standard maximum, making it non-standard. The 40mm adjust code creates a usable stroke window of 310-350mm.
