This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X35-20, 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 MALJ32X35-20
The AirTAC MALJ32X35-20 is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 35 mm stroke. A rear stopper lets you trim up to 20 mm, yielding a usable end-position window of 15-35 mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X35-20.
This SKU lacks the -S magnet code, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MALJ uses threaded covers and fixed rubber bumpers, while the MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but cannot hold a load without live air pressure.

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 MBLJ32X35-20 carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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 MBLJ32X35-20 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X35-20 Is Used
Carton Flap Tucking Arm
Fine-tune the tucking arm reach on a packaging line case erector, trimming the 35 mm stroke by up to 20 mm to perfectly fold minor flaps before tape application.
Bearing Press Locator
Use as a mechanical locator in a bearing press fixture, relying on the 12 mm carbon-steel rod and fixed rubber bumper to absorb the 346 N pull impact when positioning rings over shafts.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X35-20 with MBLJ32X35-20
To replace the MALJ32X35-20, order the MBLJ32X35-20. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and PT thread. Mounting is FA or LB only; there is no back cover or SDB option. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor, unlike the MBLJ which supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X35-20 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 15–35 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 MBLJ32X35-20 instead of this discontinued model.
