This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ20X200-40S, 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 MALJ20X200-40-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X200-40-S 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 160 to 200 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ20X200-40-S.

About the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X200-40-S
The AirTAC MALJ20X200-40-S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod cylinder with a 20mm bore and 200mm stroke. It trims up to 40mm at the rear, giving an exact usable window of 160-200mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ20X200-40-S, matching bore, stroke, adjust code, port, and mounting.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for CS1-M/DS1-M switches; the MBLJ replacement moves to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The MALJ uses 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 cannot hold a load without live air. Impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.

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 MBLJ20X200-40-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 MBLJ20X200-40-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X200-40-S Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Dial the 160-200mm reach on a PCB depaneling router to set precise cutting depth without adding external spacers.
Dispenser Nozzle Dip
Adjust the retract distance so a glue dispenser nozzle lifts precisely out of a pot before traversing to the next part.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X200-40-S with MBLJ20X200-40-S
To replace this MALJ20X200-40-S, order the MBLJ20X200-40-S. Confirm the 20mm bore, 200mm stroke, 40mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). The -S magnet changes the sensor family from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock; add an external lock for held loads.
At 200mm stroke, keep side-load minimized to avoid rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ20X200-40-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 160–200 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 MBLJ20X200-40-S instead of this discontinued model.
