This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X50-10-S, 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 MALJ32X50-10-S 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 40 to 50 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X50-10-S.
The AirTAC MALJ32X50-10-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a 10mm rear adjustable stroke stopper. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X50-10-S. The -10 adjust code lets you dial back the end position by up to 10mm, creating a usable stroke window of 40-50mm.
This cylinder features a fixed rubber bumper and a heterogeneous grease-retaining seal. The -S magnet pairs with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches; upgrading to the MBLJ requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MALJ uses threaded covers, whereas the MBLJ replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear adjuster is strictly a travel stop, not a mechanical lock, so it 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 MBLJ32X50-10-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 MBLJ32X50-10-S matches these values.

|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×50 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 40–50 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.
Fine-tune the 50mm return stroke on a small pneumatic press to control the bend angle on thin aluminum brackets without adding external shims.
Adjust the rear stopper by up to 10mm to perfectly time the folding arm reach on packaging lines, preventing carton crushing during closure.
To replace this MALJ32X50-10-S, order the MBLJ32X50-10-S. It matches the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, 10mm adjuster, G1/8 port, PT threads, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Remember the adjuster sets end position but does not lock the load.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ32X50-10-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X50-10-S, which matches the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, 10mm adjuster, and G1/8 port. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and changes the magnet switches from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The usable stroke window is 40-50mm (50mm stroke minus the 10mm adjuster). The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
