This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X20-10, 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).

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X20-10
The AirTAC MALJ32X20-10 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X20-10, matching the 32mm bore, 20mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting. The rear adjuster lets you trim up to 10mm, giving a usable stroke window of 10-20mm to fine-tune the end position without adding external stops.
It uses a fixed rubber bumper, meaning the adjustable stroke sets travel, not end cushioning. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MALJ has threaded covers, while the MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X20-10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X20-10 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALJ adjustable-stroke mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLJ32X20-10 |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 20 mm |
| Adjustable window | 10 – 20 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, adjustable stroke |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.1 – 1.0 MPa |

| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 500 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 MBLJ32X20-10 carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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 MBLJ32X20-10 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X20-10 Is Used
Leather Skiving Feed
Fine-tune the roller pressure arm on a leather skiving machine, trimming the stroke 10mm to prevent the blade from digging into the material.
Bottle Capper Head
Adjust the downward end position on a rotary bottle capping turret, ensuring the chuck seats correctly without crushing the plastic cap.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X20-10 with MBLJ32X20-10
To replace the MALJ32X20-10, order the MBLJ32X20-10. Confirm the 32mm bore, 20mm stroke, 10mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Because this unit lacks the -S magnet, it cannot hold a sensor; if you need position detection, step up to an MBLJ32X20-10S which uses the newer CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M. Remember the adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, so it will not hold a load without live air.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X20-10 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 10–20 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 MBLJ32X20-10 instead of this discontinued model.
