This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X20-10S, 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 MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X20-10-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X20-10-S 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 10 to 20 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X20-10-S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X20-10-S
The AirTAC MALJ32X20-10-S is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a rear adjustable stop. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X20-10-S, matching the 32 mm bore, G1/8 port, and force.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MBLJ upgrade shifts to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors and uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the MAL threaded covers. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, so it sets the end position without holding the load pneumatically. Impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X20-10-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X20-10-S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALJ adjustable-stroke mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLJ32X20-10-S |
| 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 |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 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-S 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-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X20-10-S Is Used
Dispense Valve Profiling
Fine-tunes the 10-20 mm stroke window on adhesive dispensing heads, ensuring the nozzle retracts cleanly without dripping on the workpiece.
Connector Seating
Provides variable end-position stopping for pressing D-sub connectors, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the 346 N pull impact safely.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X20-10-S with MBLJ32X20-10-S
To replace this MALJ32X20-10-S with the MBLJ32X20-10-S, confirm the 32 mm bore, 20 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. Mounting is Basic, FA, or LB only, as there is no back cover or SDB option. Remember the adjuster sets end position but cannot hold a load without live air.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X20-10-S (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-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X20-10-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X20-10-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X20-10-S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 20 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. The MBLJ uses a riveted body and CMSG sensors instead of threaded covers and CS1-M switches.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402 N and pulls 346 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N, with a maximum 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 10 mm adjuster is a travel stop that creates a 10-20 mm usable stroke window, but it does not lock the load pneumatically.
