This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ25X75-40, 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 Airtac MALJ25 Adjustable Mini Air Cylinder MALJ25X75-40 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 35 to 75 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ25X75-40.
The AirTAC MALJ25X75-40 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a 40mm rear adjustable stroke stopper. This yields a usable end-position window of 35-75mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ25X75-40, matching the bore, stroke, adjuster, force, and G1/8 port.
This SKU lacks a magnet (-S), 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. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion. Upgrade details: the MALJ has threaded covers, while the MBLJ uses a riveted rolling-packed body.

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 MBLJ25X75-40 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 MBLJ25X75-40 matches these values.
| MALJ | Adjustable-stroke aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×75 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -40 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 35–75 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 the end position within the 35-75mm window to set precise Z-axis plunging depth for a PCB depaneling router without machining new hard stops.
Fine-tune the extension reach on a packaging line label applicator, adjusting the stroke on the fly to match varying box widths without changing cylinders.
To replace the MALJ25X75-40, order the MBLJ25X75-40. Confirm the 25mm bore, 75mm stroke, 40mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and PT thread form. Mounting is FA or LB only; there is no back-cover or SDB option. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a CS1-M/DS1-M sensor, and the MBLJ upgrade would shift to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if needed.
The adjuster is a travel stop, not a load lock.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ25X75-40 is discontinued. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design from the original threaded covers.
The 75mm stroke with a 40mm rear adjuster gives a usable window of 35-75mm. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, and the adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
