AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ20X75-75, 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).

The AirTAC Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X75-75 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 75 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 0 to 75 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ20X75-75.
The AirTAC MALJ20X75-75 is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a 75 mm rear adjustable stroke stopper. Because the adjust code equals the stroke, you can dial the usable extension window from 0 to 75 mm without adding external stops.
The direct replacement is the MBLJ20X75-75, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port and force. This SKU has no magnet (-S), so it cannot take a position sensor. The MALJ uses a fixed rubber bumper and threaded covers, whereas the MBLJ upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body. The adjuster sets the end position but does not hold load without live air.

| 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 MBLJ20X75-75 matches these values.

Replacement: MALJ → MBLJ. No back-cover (CA/U/CM) and no SDB. Mounting: FA / LB.
Adjust the end position to press connector pins into housings on an automated insertor, preventing over-travel and ensuring the bumper absorbs the 132 N pull load on retract.
Fine-tune the tamp head reach from 0 to 75 mm for varying product heights on a packaging line, avoiding the need to swap physical stop collars for each SKU.
To replace the MALJ20X75-75, order the exact direct replacement MBLJ20X75-75. Confirm the 20 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 75 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and PT thread. Mounting is Basic, FA or LB only (no back cover or SDB). Note the adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ20X75-75 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ20X75-75, which matches the 20 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 75 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and mounting. The MBLJ upgrades the threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body.
The 75 mm adjust code lets you trim the end position, creating a usable 0-75 mm window. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and cannot hold a load without live air. This SKU has no magnet, so it cannot accept a sensor.
