This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ20X200-50S, 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 MALJ20X200-50-S

About the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X200-50-S
The AirTAC MALJ20X200-50-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a 20mm bore and 200mm stroke. The -50 adjust code lets you trim the rear end position by up to 50mm, creating a usable stroke window of 150-200mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ20X200-50-S, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This -S magnet SKU uses the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas the MBLJ replacement upgrades to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The original MALJ features threaded covers, while the MBLJ uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but cannot hold a load without live air. End impact is softened only by a fixed rubber bumper.

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 MBLJ20X200-50-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 MBLJ20X200-50-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X200-50-S Is Used
Dispenser Valve Depth Stop
Sets a precise 160mm dispensing height for syringe valves, trimming 40mm of stroke to accommodate different cartridge lengths on a packaging line.
Leather Skiving Press

Replacing the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X200-50-S with MBLJ20X200-50-S
To replace the MALJ20X200-50-S, order the exact direct replacement MBLJ20X200-50-S. Confirm the 20mm bore, 200mm stroke, 50mm adjust code, PT G1/8 port, M8x1.25 rod-end thread, and FA/LB mounting (there is no back-cover or SDB option). Note that the adjuster is a stop, not a lock. For a 200mm stroke on an 8mm rod, be wary of side-load and rod-bending forces.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ20X200-50-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 150–200 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 MBLJ20X200-50-S instead of this discontinued model.
