This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ20X130-10-S, 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).
Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X130-10-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X130-10-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 10 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 120 to 130 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ20X130-10-S.

About the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X130-10-S
The AirTAC MALJ20X130-10-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a 20mm bore and 130mm stroke. A rear stopper screw lets you trim up to 10mm, providing a usable end-position window of 120-130mm.
The direct replacement is the MBLJ20X130-10-S, matching the bore, stroke, adjuster, and G1/8 port. Upgrading moves you from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body. The -S magnet also shifts from the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family. Remember, the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it will not hold a load without live air pressure.
Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X130-10-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X130-10-S |

| Series | MALJ adjustable-stroke mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLJ20X130-10-S |
| Bore size | Ø20 mm |
| Stroke | 130 mm |
| Adjustable window | 120 – 130 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, adjustable stroke |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M8×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.1 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 300 mm |
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 MBLJ20X130-10-S carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 132 N | 132 N |
| 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 MBLJ20X130-10-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X130-10-S Is Used
Connector Pin Insertion
Fine-tuning the 10mm stopper on this 20mm bore unit ensures delicate surface-mount pins seat fully without bottoming out the 8mm rod, absorbing minor fixture height variations.
Thin Sheet Metal Bending
The 132N pull force retracts a small forming flap on a manual press brake, while the adjustable end position guarantees the metal sheet releases cleanly within the 120-130mm stroke.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X130-10-S with MBLJ20X130-10-S
To replace the MALJ20X130-10-S, specify the MBLJ20X130-10-S to retain the 20mm bore, 130mm stroke, 10mm adjuster, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Confirm the -S magnet, noting the sensor family changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. The adjuster sets the end position but does not lock the load; add an external lock for holding.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to a bore 20mm is the smallest available MALJ option. At 130mm stroke, minimize side-load to prevent rod bending, as the 8mm rod lacks inherent load-holding capacity.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ20X130-10-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 120–130 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 MBLJ20X130-10-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X130-10-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ20X130-10-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ20X130-10-S, which matches the 20mm bore, 130mm stroke, 10mm adjuster, and G1/8 port. The upgrade changes the body from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed design, and the -S magnet switches from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
The usable adjustable stroke window is 120-130mm via the 10mm rear stopper. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and does not hold the load without air pressure.
