This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X250-100, 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 MALJ32X250-100
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-100 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 100 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 150 to 250 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-100.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-100
The AirTAC MALJ32X250-100 is a discontinued double-acting double-rod mini cylinder with a rear adjustable stroke stopper. It has a 32mm bore and 250mm stroke, with the 100mm adjust code creating a usable end-position window of 150-250mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-100.
This SKU has no magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. The fixed rubber bumper softens end impact, and the cylinder uses a 12mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod with a grease-retaining seal.

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 MBLJ32X250-100 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 MBLJ32X250-100 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-100 Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Set the end position to prevent a routing spindle from crashing into a fixture, using the rear stop to fine-tune depth without adding external collars.
Bottle Sorting Gate
Adjust the retract distance to clear different bottle diameters on a sorting line, using the 346N pull force to snap the gate back rapidly.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-100 with MBLJ32X250-100
Replace this MALJ with the exact direct replacement MBLJ32X250-100. Confirm the 32mm bore, 250mm stroke, 100mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). The MBLJ upgrades the body from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed design. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock. For a 250mm stroke, minimize side-load to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X250-100 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 150–250 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 MBLJ32X250-100 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-100 FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X250-100 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-100, matching the 32mm bore, 250mm stroke, 100mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design. Because this MALJ lacks a magnet, it cannot take a sensor; the MBLJ uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if needed.
The 100mm adjust code lets you trim the rear position, creating a usable 150-250mm stroke window. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
