This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X40-10, 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 MALJ32X40-10
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X40-10 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 10 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 30 to 40 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X40-10.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X40-10
The AirTAC MALJ32X40-10 is a discontinued adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. The -10 adjuster code lets you trim the rear travel by up to 10mm, creating a usable stroke window of 30-40mm.
This legacy unit features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, meaning it lacks an adjustable air cushion. The rear adjuster is a mechanical travel stop to fine-tune the end position, not a lock to hold a load without live air pressure. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. Upgrading to the MBLJ32X40-10 gives you a riveted rolling-packed body and moves to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family if needed.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X40-10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X40-10 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALJ adjustable-stroke mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLJ32X40-10 |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 40 mm |
| Adjustable window | 30 – 40 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 MBLJ32X40-10 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 MBLJ32X40-10 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X40-10 Is Used
Tabbing Wire Stamper
Dials the exact 10mm trim on the rear stop to crimp battery tabs accurately, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the 346N retraction impact.
Carton Flap Folder
Adjusts the end position to fold corrugated flaps on varying box heights, where the mechanical stop sets the fold angle without holding the load.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X40-10 with MBLJ32X40-10
To replace the MALJ32X40-10, order the exact direct replacement MBLJ32X40-10. Confirm your 32mm bore, 40mm stroke, -10 adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (there is no back cover or SDB option). The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X40-10 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 30–40 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 MBLJ32X40-10 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X40-10 FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X40-10 is discontinued. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
The usable stroke window is 30-40mm, set by trimming up to 10mm at the rear. At 0.5MPa it pushes 402N and pulls 346N. At 0.7MPa it pushes 563N, and the maximum force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. Note that this no-magnet SKU cannot accept a position sensor.
