This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X100-10, 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).

The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X100-10 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 90 to 100 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X100-10.
The AirTAC MALJ32X100-10 is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke. It provides a usable stroke window of 90-100 mm via a 10 mm rear adjuster. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X100-10, matching the bore, stroke, adjust code, and G1/8 port.
This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a position sensor. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. Upgrading to the MBLJ32X100-10 changes the threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body.

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 MBLJ32X100-10 carries the same ratings.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 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 MBLJ32X100-10 matches these values.
| MALJ | Adjustable-stroke aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×100 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 90–100 mm window. |
| S | Optional magnet for a CS1-M / DS1-M sensor (MBLJ uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). |
Replacement: MALJ → MBLJ. No back-cover (CA/U/CM) and no SDB. Mounting: FA / LB.
Dial the 90-100 mm window to set a precise Z-axis plunge on a PCB depaneling router, using the 402 N extend force to hold the cutting depth without bottoming out.
Trim the 10 mm rear stop to time a packaging line flap tucker perfectly, preventing the 563 N extend force at 0.7 MPa from crushing the corrugated board.
Fine-tune the end position on a leather skiving press to vary the blade bite, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the impact at the end of every 100 mm stroke.
To replace this MALJ32X100-10, order the MBLJ32X100-10. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB allowed). Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; the MBLJ upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if you need sensing. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
At 100 mm stroke, side-load risk is moderate; keep the load aligned to avoid rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ32X100-10 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X100-10, which matches the 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. The MBLJ upgrades the threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body.
The 10 mm adjuster is a travel stop that lets you shorten the stroke, creating a usable 90-100 mm window. It does not hold the load without live air.
