This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X220-50-S, 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 MALJ32X220-50-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 50 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 170 to 220 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X220-50-S.
The AirTAC MALJ32X220-50-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a 32mm bore and 220mm stroke. It features a 50mm rear adjuster, creating a usable stroke window of 170-220mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X220-50-S, matching bore, stroke, and force.
This -S variant includes a magnet for CS1-M/DS1-M switches; the MBLJ upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The MALJ uses threaded covers, while the MBLJ features a riveted rolling-packed body. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end impact. The 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 MBLJ32X220-50-S carries the same ratings.
| 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 MBLJ32X220-50-S matches these values.

| 32 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×220 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -50 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 170–220 mm window. |

Replacement: MALJ → MBLJ. No back-cover (CA/U/CM) and no SDB. Mounting: FA / LB.
Fine-tune the rear stopper on a packaging line flap folder to accommodate varying box heights, ensuring the 346N pull force retracts the folding arm cleanly without crushing the corrugated board.
Adjust the end position to act as a depth stop for incoming pallets on a conveyor, using the 50mm adjuster to absorb impact via the fixed rubber bumper while the magnet confirms gate position.
Replace this MALJ32X220-50-S with the exact direct replacement MBLJ32X220-50-S. Confirm the 32mm bore, 220mm stroke, 50mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). The -S magnet changes sensor families from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; use an external lock for held loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ32X220-50-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X220-50-S, which matches the 32mm bore, 220mm stroke, 50mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. The MBLJ upgrades the threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body and shifts the -S magnet from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
The usable stroke window is 170-220mm (220mm stroke minus the 50mm rear adjuster). The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and the fixed rubber bumper softens end impact only.
