This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ20X35-10, 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 MALJ20X35-10

About the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X35-10
The AirTAC MALJ20X35-10 is a discontinued adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. The direct replacement is the MBLJ20X35-10, matching the 20mm bore, 35mm stroke, and 10mm adjuster. This double-acting double-rod unit uses a rear screw to trim the end position, giving a usable travel window of 25-35mm without external stops.
The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it cannot hold a load without live air. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot take a position sensor. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion. The original MALJ has threaded covers and a PT G1/8 port, while the MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body.
Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X35-10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X35-10 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALJ adjustable-stroke mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLJ20X35-10 |
| Bore size | Ø20 mm |
| Stroke | 35 mm |
| Adjustable window | 25 – 35 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, adjustable stroke |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M8×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.1 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 300 mm |
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 MBLJ20X35-10 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 MBLJ20X35-10 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X35-10 Is Used
Dispenser Nozzle Height
Fine-tune the downstroke of an adhesive dispensing nozzle on a 20mm bore body, trimming up to 10mm at the rear to prevent crushing the substrate.
Wire Forming Gauge
Act as an adjustable mechanical stop in a wire bending jig, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the 132N pull force at the end of each cycle.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X35-10 with MBLJ20X35-10
To replace the MALJ20X35-10, order the MBLJ20X35-10. Confirm the 20mm bore, 35mm stroke, 10mm adjust code, M8x1.25 rod thread, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if you previously used CS1-M/DS1-M switches, the MBLJ requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The rear adjuster sets the end position but does not lock the load.
At 35mm stroke, rod bending is minimal, but always guide the load to prevent side-load wear on the 8mm rod.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ20X35-10 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 25–35 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 MBLJ20X35-10 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X35-10 FAQ
Yes, the MALJ20X35-10 is discontinued. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if a magnet is added.
The 10mm adjuster lets you trim the rear travel, creating a usable stroke window of 25-35mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and this no-S SKU cannot accept a position sensor.
