This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ20X150-75S, 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 MALJ20X150-75-S
The AirTAC MALJ20X150-75-S is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a rear adjustable stop. The 75 mm adjuster creates a usable stroke window of 75-150 mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ20X150-75-S.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for CS1-M / DS1-M switches; the MBLJ upgrade moves to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors and swaps the MAL's threaded covers for a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an air cushion. Port is G1/8 with an M8x1.25 rod end.

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 MBLJ20X150-75-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X150-75-S Is Used
Carton Flap Folder
Trims the rear stop to time folding arms perfectly for varying box heights, relying on the 132 N pull to retract the linkage.

Replacing the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X150-75-S with MBLJ20X150-75-S
To replace this MALJ20X150-75-S, order the MBLJ20X150-75-S. Confirm the 20 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 75 mm adjust code, PT G1/8 port, M8x1.25 rod, and FA/LB mounting. There is no back cover or SDB option. The -S magnet means a sensor family change from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
At 150 mm stroke, watch rod bending under side-load. The adjuster sets end position but will not hold a load without live air.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ20X150-75-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 75–150 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 MBLJ20X150-75-S instead of this discontinued model.
