This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X30-30, 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).

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X30-30
The AirTAC MALJ32X30-30 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. It has a 32 mm bore and a 30 mm stroke. The -30 adjust code means the rear stopper lets you trim up to 30 mm, giving a usable end-position window of 0-30 mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X30-30, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port and mounting.
This SKU has no -S magnet, so it cannot take a position sensor. The MALJ uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock. It will not hold a load without live air. The old threaded covers upgrade to a riveted rolling-packed body on the MBLJ.

| Stroke | 30 mm |
| Adjustable window | 0 – 30 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, adjustable stroke |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |

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 MBLJ32X30-30 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 MBLJ32X30-30 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X30-30 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Stop
Set a precise end stop for a depaneling router fixture. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs the 346 N pull impact, while the 0-30 mm adjustment fine-tunes the board depth without adding external shims.
Carton Flap Brake
Control the flap position on a case erector. The 32 mm bore provides enough force to tame heavy corrugated board, and the rear stopper lets you trim the 30 mm stroke to match varying carton heights on the fly.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X30-30 with MBLJ32X30-30
Replace the MALJ32X30-30 with the direct replacement MBLJ32X30-30. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, -30 adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if you need position sensing, the MBLJ upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M. The rear adjuster sets the end position but does not lock the load.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X30-30 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 0–30 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 MBLJ32X30-30 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X30-30 FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X30-30 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X30-30, which keeps the same 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, -30 adjust code, force, G1/8 port and mounting. You only swap the cylinder; the MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
The -30 adjust code gives a usable end-position window of 0-30 mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
