This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X30-30S, 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 MALJ32X30-30-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X30-30-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 0 to 30 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X30-30-S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X30-30-S
The AirTAC MALJ32X30-30-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder featuring a rear adjustable-stroke stopper. It provides a usable stroke window of 0-30 mm, letting you dial in the exact end position without external stops.
The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X30-30-S, matching the bore, stroke, and G1/8 port. This -S SKU uses older CS1-M/DS1-M sensors, whereas the MBLJ upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The MALJ has threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MBLJ features a riveted rolling-packed body. Remember, the adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and cannot hold a load without live air pressure.

| Model | Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X30-30-S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALJ adjustable-stroke mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLJ32X30-30-S |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 30 mm |
| Adjustable window | 0 – 30 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 |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 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 MBLJ32X30-30-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 MBLJ32X30-30-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X30-30-S Is Used
Connector Insertion Depth
Fine-tune the insertion depth for pressing pin headers into PCBs, ensuring the 346 N pull force retracts the tooling cleanly without damaging the board.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X30-30-S with MBLJ32X30-30-S
To replace this MALJ32X30-30-S, order the direct replacement MBLJ32X30-30-S. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). The -S magnet means a sensor family change from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. The rear adjuster sets end position but is a stop, not a lock.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X30-30-S (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-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X30-30-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X30-30-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X30-30-S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, 30 mm 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 30 mm adjust code creates a usable stroke window of 0-30 mm. The rear adjuster acts as a travel stop, not a lock, so it will not hold a load without live air pressure.
