This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ20X200-10, 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 MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X200-10 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 190 to 200 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ20X200-10.
The AirTAC MALJ20X200-10 is a discontinued double-acting double-rod cylinder with a 10 mm rear stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 190-200 mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ20X200-10, matching the bore, stroke, adjust code, G1/8 port and 32 kgf max force.
This SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical travel stop to fine-tune reach, not a lock to hold load without live air. End impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper. The legacy MALJ uses threaded covers and CS1-M/DS1-M sensors, while the MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

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 MBLJ20X200-10 carries the same ratings.
| 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 MBLJ20X200-10 matches these values.
| MALJ | Adjustable-stroke aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 20 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×200 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 190–200 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.
Trim the final 10 mm of travel on an adhesive dispensing head, adjusting the drop distance for different syringe tips without moving the cylinder mounting block.
Set the exact bottom position for a small sheet-metal bending jig, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the 132 N retract impact at the end of the stroke.
To replace this MALJ20X200-10, order the exact direct replacement MBLJ20X200-10. Confirm the 20 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, PT G1/8 port, M8x1.25 rod thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB allowed). Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot hold a sensor; the MBLJ upgrade uses the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family if you need detection. Remember the adjuster sets the end position but does not lock the load.
At 200 mm stroke on a 20 mm bore, rod side-load is a real risk; use a guide rail to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ20X200-10 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ20X200-10, which matches the 20 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and 32 kgf max force. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 132 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 220 N; max force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 10 mm rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock. It sets the 190-200 mm end position but will not hold the load without live air. This SKU has no magnet, so it cannot take a sensor.
