This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X250-10S, 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 MALJ32X250-10-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-10-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 240 to 250 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-10-S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-10-S
The AirTAC MALJ32X250-10-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. It provides a usable travel window of 240-250 mm by trimming up to 10 mm at the rear stopper. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-10-S, matching the bore, stroke, force, and port.
This -S magnet variant uses the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBLJ upgrade transitions to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The MALJ features threaded covers, whereas the MBLJ replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. End impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.

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 MBLJ32X250-10-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 MBLJ32X250-10-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-10-S Is Used
Aluminum Profile Cut-Off
Trim the 10 mm rear stopper on an extrusion saw to square the cut-off face, relying on the 346 N pull force to retract the blade without resetting hard stops.
Carton Flap Folder
Fine-tune the 250 mm stroke on a packaging machine flap folder to clear varying carton heights, using the fixed rubber bumper to soften the end impact.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-10-S with MBLJ32X250-10-S
To replace the MALJ32X250-10-S, order the direct replacement MBLJ32X250-10-S. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). The -S magnet changes your sensor family from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. Remember the adjuster is a stop, not a lock. At 250 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by minimizing side loads and guiding the load externally.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X250-10-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 240–250 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 MBLJ32X250-10-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-10-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X250-10-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-10-S, matching the 32 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. The MBLJ upgrade uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers, and your -S magnet sensors change from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
The -10 adjust code lets you trim up to 10 mm at the rear, creating a usable stroke window of 240-250 mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
