This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X250-30S, 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 MALJ32X250-30-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-30-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 30 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 220 to 250 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-30-S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-30-S
The AirTAC MALJ32X250-30-S is a discontinued 32mm bore, double-acting double-rod cylinder with a 250mm stroke and a 30mm rear adjustable stopper. This yields a usable travel window of 220-250mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-30-S, matching bore, stroke, port, and force.
This mini cylinder uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. The rear adjuster is a travel stop that sets the end position; it does not hold a load without live air. The old MALJ uses threaded covers and a CS1-M/DS1-M magnet, while the MBLJ replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. It has a G1/8 port and an M10x1.25 rod end.

| Replacement | MBLJ32X250-30-S |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 250 mm |
| Adjustable window | 220 – 250 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 MBLJ32X250-30-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 MBLJ32X250-30-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-30-S Is Used
Carton Flap Folder
Adjust the 30mm rear stopper to tune flap closure timing on packaging lines, relying on the 346N pull to retract the folding arm cleanly.
Textile Guide Tensioner
Trim the end position to fine-tune fabric tension on weaving looms, letting the fixed rubber bumper absorb the 250mm stroke impact gently.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-30-S with MBLJ32X250-30-S
To replace the MALJ32X250-30-S, order the exact direct replacement MBLJ32X250-30-S. Confirm the 32mm bore, 250mm stroke, 30mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. Mounting is FA or LB only; there is no back-cover or SDB option. The -S magnet changes sensor families from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the new CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Remember the adjuster is a stop, not a lock, so add an external lock for held loads. At 250mm stroke, watch rod-bending under side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X250-30-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 220–250 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 MBLJ32X250-30-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-30-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X250-30-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-30-S, which matches the 32mm bore, 250mm stroke, 30mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and changes the -S magnet sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The 30mm adjuster is a rear travel stop that lets you trim the usable stroke window down to 220mm. It sets the end position but does not hold the load without air pressure.
