This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X32-20, 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 MALJ32X32-20
The AirTAC MALJ32X32-20 is a discontinued double-acting double-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 32 mm stroke. It features a rear screw stopper that lets you trim up to 20 mm of travel, creating a usable end-position window of 12-32 mm without external stops. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X32-20, which matches the bore, stroke, adjust code, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This SKU has no -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. Impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, as there is no air cushion. The legacy MALJ uses threaded covers and a heterogeneous grease-retaining seal, while the MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body.

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 MBLJ32X32-20 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 MBLJ32X32-20 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X32-20 Is Used
Connector Pin Insertion
Fine-tune the press stroke for seating rectangular connector pins into housings, preventing over-travel that could damage delicate plastic molds.
Aluminum Extrusion Notching
Adjust the end position on a pneumatic notching jig to cut profiles at varying depths, avoiding the need to swap physical spacer blocks.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X32-20 with MBLJ32X32-20
To replace this MALJ32X32-20, order the MBLJ32X32-20. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 32 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust code, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and FA/LB mounting (there is no back cover or SDB option). Remember the adjuster is a stop, not a lock, so add an external lock for held loads. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; the MBLJ upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X32-20 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 12–32 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 MBLJ32X32-20 instead of this discontinued model.
