This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ25X60-50S, 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 MALJ25X60-50S 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 10 to 60 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ25X60-50S.
The AirTAC MALJ25X60-50S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod mini cylinder with a rear adjustable stroke stopper. It trims up to 50 mm at the rear, giving a usable end-position window of 10-60 mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X60-50S, matching the bore, stroke, adjust code, G1/8 port and mounting.
Two key upgrade facts apply. First, the adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. Second, this MALJ has threaded covers and uses a CS1-M / DS1-M magnet switch, whereas the MBLJ replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body and uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches. The cushion is a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.

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 MBLJ25X60-50S 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 MBLJ25X60-50S matches these values.
| MALJ | Adjustable-stroke aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×60 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -50 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 10–60 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-tune the retraction window of a syringe dispenser on an SMT line; the 50 mm rear stop lets you adjust the nozzle lift precisely for different epoxy viscosities.
Act as an adjustable depth stop on a CNC wire bender, trimming the stroke window down to 10 mm so the 206 N pull reliably extracts the mandrel without stressing the wire.
To replace this MALJ25X60-50S, order the exact MBLJ25X60-50S direct. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and FA or LB mounting (there is no back cover or SDB option). Note the -S magnet sensor family changes from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. The rear adjuster is a stop, not a load lock.
At 60 mm stroke, side-load risk is low, but always guide the rod to prevent bending.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ25X60-50S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X60-50S, which matches the 25 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and mounting. You must upgrade your sensors from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
The 50 mm adjust code lets you trim up to 50 mm at the rear, giving a usable end-position window of 10-60 mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
