This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X300-50S, 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).

The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X300-50-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 50 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 250 to 300 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X300-50-S.
The AirTAC MALJ32X300-50-S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod mini cylinder with a rear adjustable stroke. The 50 mm adjust code creates a usable 250-300 mm end-position window. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X300-50-S.
This -S SKU uses a CS1-M / DS1-M magnet. The MBLJ upgrade switches to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors and replaces the MAL threaded covers with a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear adjuster is a travel stop that sets depth without external bolts, but it will not hold a load without live air. Impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.

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 MBLJ32X300-50-S carries the same ratings.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 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 MBLJ32X300-50-S matches these values.
| MALJ | Adjustable-stroke aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×300 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -50 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 250–300 mm window. |
| S | Optional magnet for a CS1-M / DS1-M sensor (MBLJ uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). |
Replacement: MALJ → MBLJ. No back-cover (CA/U/CM) and no SDB. Mounting: FA / LB.
Dial the 250-300 mm stroke window to set the exact cutting depth on a printed circuit board routing spindle without machining new hard stops.
Adjust the rear stop to fine-tune the 346 N pull clamping depth on an embossing press, accommodating varying leather hide thicknesses on the fly.
To replace this MALJ32X300-50-S with the MBLJ32X300-50-S, confirm the 32 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Move your CS1-M / DS1-M switches to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. The adjuster sets the end position but is not a lock.
At 300 mm stroke, minimize side-load to prevent rod bending—keep the load guided.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, it is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X300-50-S, matching the 32 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. You must change your CS1-M / DS1-M sensors to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
The 50 mm adjuster is a travel stop that lets you trim the usable stroke window down to 250 mm. It does not hold the load without live air and uses a fixed rubber bumper.
