This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X250-40S, 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 MALJ32X250-40-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-40-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 40 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 210 to 250 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-40-S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-40-S
The AirTAC MALJ32X250-40-S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod cylinder with a rear adjustable stroke. It provides a usable travel window of 210-250 mm by trimming up to 40 mm at the rear. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-40-S, matching the bore, stroke, adjust code, G1/8 port and mounting.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MBLJ upgrade shifts to CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. The MALJ uses threaded covers, while the MBLJ features a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear adjuster acts as a travel stop to fine-tune reach without external hardware, but it does not hold load without live air. End impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.

| Replacement | MBLJ32X250-40-S |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 250 mm |
| Adjustable window | 210 – 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 MBLJ32X250-40-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 MBLJ32X250-40-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-40-S Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Dial the 210-250 mm reach to push a carrier into a depaneling blade.
Textile Loom Takedown
Fine-tune the 250 mm stroke to grip varying fabric roll diameters. The 346 N pull force retracts the gripper clear of the weaving mechanism.
Carton Flap Folder
Set the exact end position to fold corrugated flaps of different heights. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs the repetitive impact of high-speed carton folding.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-40-S with MBLJ32X250-40-S
To replace this MALJ32X250-40-S with the MBLJ32X250-40-S, confirm the 32 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. Mounting is Basic, FA or LB only; there is no back-cover or SDB option. Remember the rear adjuster is a stop, not a lock. At 250 mm stroke, minimize side-load to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X250-40-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 210–250 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 MBLJ32X250-40-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-40-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X250-40-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-40-S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust code, G1/8 port and mounting. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and changes the magnet switches from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The -40 adjust code lets you trim the 250 mm stroke at the rear, creating a usable 210-250 mm window. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and cannot hold a load without live air.
