This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X160-50, 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).

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X160-50
The AirTAC MALJ32X160-50 is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a rear adjustable stroke stopper. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X160-50, matching the 32 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, and 50 mm adjust code.
This SKU provides a usable travel window of 110-160 mm. Because it lacks an -S magnet, it cannot take a position sensor. The original MALJ uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body for better structural integrity. The rear adjuster sets the end position but does not hold load without live air.

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 MBLJ32X160-50 carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 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 MBLJ32X160-50 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X160-50 Is Used
Carton Flap Folder
Fine-tune the 160 mm end position on a packaging line flap folder, ensuring the 346 N pull retracts clear of the carton flow before the next cycle.
Leather Skiving Press
Adjust the rear stopper on a leather skiving machine to vary the roller contact depth, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the end impact.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X160-50 with MBLJ32X160-50
To replace this MALJ32X160-50, order the exact MBLJ32X160-50 direct. Confirm the G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and FA or LB mounting, as no back cover or SDB exists. Since this SKU has no magnet, you lose the CS1-M/DS1-M switches entirely; the MBLJ upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
At 160 mm stroke, avoid side-loading to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X160-50 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 110–160 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 MBLJ32X160-50 instead of this discontinued model.
