This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ20X25-10, 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).

About the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X25-10
The AirTAC MALJ20X25-10 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder featuring a rear adjustable stroke stopper. The -10 adjust code lets you trim up to 10 mm at the rear, creating a usable end-position window from 15 to 25 mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ20X25-10, matching the 20 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting footprint.
This SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MALJ uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, whereas the MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air pressure.

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 MBLJ20X25-10 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 MBLJ20X25-10 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X25-10 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Dial the 15-25 mm stroke window to set the exact blade clearance for routing populated circuit panels without repositioning the cylinder block.

Mounts on a packaging line to kick out lightweight plastic caps, using the fixed rubber bumper to soften the end-of-stroke impact.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X25-10 with MBLJ20X25-10
To replace this MALJ20X25-10, order the exact direct replacement MBLJ20X25-10. Confirm the 20 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB is used). Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; if you need a switch, the MBLJ replacement uses the newer CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock.
For sizing, stepping down is not an option as 20 mm is the smallest available bore.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ20X25-10 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 15–25 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 MBLJ20X25-10 instead of this discontinued model.
