This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ20X80-75S, 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 MALJ20X80-75-S
The AirTAC MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X80-75-S 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 5 to 80 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ20X80-75-S.

About the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X80-75-S
The AirTAC MALJ20X80-75-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a 20mm bore and 80mm stroke. It features a rear screw stopper that allows you to trim up to 75mm, creating a usable end-position window of 5-80mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ20X80-75-S, which matches the bore, stroke, port, and mounting.
This -S model includes a magnet for the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas the MBLJ replacement uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The original MALJ uses threaded covers, while the MBLJ features a riveted rolling-packed body. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. End impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.

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 MBLJ20X80-75-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 MBLJ20X80-75-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X80-75-S Is Used
Wire Termination Press
Set a precise crimp height on an automated wire harness line, using the rear stopper to fine-tune the 132N pull stroke for delicate terminal crimps.
Label Applicator Tamp
Adjust the tamp depth on a bottle labeling head to compensate for varying container tolerances, preventing label wrinkles while applying the 32 kgf max force.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ20 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ20X80-75-S with MBLJ20X80-75-S
To replace the MALJ20X80-75-S, order the MBLJ20X80-75-S. Confirm the 20mm bore, 80mm stroke, 75mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and PT thread. Mounting is FA or LB only; there is no back cover or SDB option. The -S magnet means you must upgrade your switches from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ20X80-75-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 5–80 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 MBLJ20X80-75-S instead of this discontinued model.
