This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ20X100-100, 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).

About the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X100-100
The AirTAC MALJ20X100-100 is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a 20mm bore and 100mm stroke. It provides a usable stroke window of 0-100mm via a 100mm rear adjuster. The direct replacement is the MBLJ20X100-100.
This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a position sensor. The adjuster sets the end position but is a travel stop, not a lock. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion. The old threaded covers upgrade to a riveted body on the MBLJ.

| Adjustable window | 0 – 100 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, adjustable stroke |
| Port size | G1/8 |

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 MBLJ20X100-100 carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 185 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 27 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 MBLJ20X100-100 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X100-100 Is Used

Replacing the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X100-100 with MBLJ20X100-100
Replace with the MBLJ20X100-100, confirming the 20mm bore, 100mm stroke, 100mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, it uses no sensor; an MBLJ upgrade moves to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock. If sizing down, the 20mm bore is the smallest available.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ20X100-100 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 0–100 mm adjustable window
- ✓ Adjuster is a stop, not a lock
- ✓ No back cover / SDB — plan an FA/LB mount
- ✓ Sensor: swap CS1-M/DS1-M → CMSG/DMSG/EMSG
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.1 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check The rear adjuster sets the end position — it is not a load lock.
- check No back-cover / SDB on adjustable-stroke — use FA / LB.
- check Front/rear covers are threaded — not for field disassembly.
- check For new builds, specify the MBLJ20X100-100 instead of this discontinued model.
