This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X250-50S, 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).

This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-50-S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-50-S
The AirTAC MALJ32X250-50-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a 32mm bore and a 50mm rear adjuster. This gives a usable stroke window of 200-250mm, letting you dial in the exact end position without external stops. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-50-S.
This -S SKU has a magnet for CS1-M/DS1-M switches; the MBLJ upgrade moves to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The MALJ uses threaded covers, while the MBLJ features a riveted rolling-packed body. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it will not hold a load without live air pressure.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)

| 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 MBLJ32X250-50-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-50-S Is Used
Packaging Flap Folder

Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-50-S with MBLJ32X250-50-S
To replace the MALJ32X250-50-S, order the MBLJ32X250-50-S. Confirm the 32mm bore, 250mm stroke, 50mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod-end thread. Mounting is FA or LB only (no back cover or SDB). Remember the adjuster is a stop, not a lock. For this 250mm stroke, use a guide to prevent rod-bending side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X250-50-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 200–250 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 MBLJ32X250-50-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X250-50-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X250-50-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X250-50-S, which matches the 32mm bore, 250mm stroke, 50mm adjuster, G1/8 port, and force. You will need CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for the MBLJ, replacing the CS1-M/DS1-M switches used on this MALJ.
The usable stroke window is 200-250mm, set by the 50mm rear adjuster. The adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not lock the load without air.
