This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ20X300-10, 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).
Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X300-10
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X300-10 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 290 to 300 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ20X300-10.

About the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X300-10
The AirTAC MALJ20X300-10 is a discontinued adjustable-stroke, double-acting double-rod mini cylinder. The -10 code provides a 10 mm rear travel stop, creating a usable end-position window of 290-300 mm. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor.
The direct replacement is the MBLJ20X300-10, matching the 20 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 10 mm adjuster, G1/8 port, and force. The original MALJ uses threaded covers and a carbon-steel rod with a 20 um hard chrome plating. The MBLJ upgrade shifts to a riveted rolling-packed body. Because the adjuster is a travel stop and 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 MBLJ20X300-10 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 MBLJ20X300-10 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X300-10 Is Used
Label Applicator Head
Fine-tune the tamp stroke by up to 10 mm at the rear stop to press labels onto varying carton depths without adding external spacers.
Wire Cut-and-Strip
Set the exact 300 mm maximum extension to feed wire into a cutter, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the end impact.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X300-10 with MBLJ20X300-10
To replace the MALJ20X300-10, order the MBLJ20X300-10. Confirm your 20 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, and FA or LB mounting (no back cover or SDB is used). If upgrading sensing, note this no-S SKU cannot take a sensor, while an MBLJ-S uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to a bore 20 is the smallest available MALJ option. At 300 mm stroke, avoid side-loading or rod-bending forces by ensuring rigid guidance, as the long rod is vulnerable to deflection.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ20X300-10 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 290–300 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 MBLJ20X300-10 instead of this discontinued model.
