This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X50-50, 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 MALJ32X50-50
The AirTAC MALJ32X50-50 is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a 50mm rear adjuster. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X50-50, matching the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/8 port, and force ratings. This SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot take a position sensor.
It provides a usable stroke window of 0-50mm. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, so it cannot hold a load without live air. The original MALJ uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper; the MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body.

| Series | MALJ adjustable-stroke mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLJ32X50-50 |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 50 mm |
| Adjustable window | 0 – 50 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, adjustable stroke |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |

| 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 MBLJ32X50-50 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 MBLJ32X50-50 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X50-50 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw Stop
Sets a hard travel stop for a circular saw blade on a PCB depaneling router, using the 50mm window to fine-tune cut depth while relying on the fixed rubber bumper for impact absorption.
Connector Insertion Press
Provides variable end-position depth for pressing pin headers into plastic connectors, trimming up to 50mm to accommodate varying connector heights.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X50-50 with MBLJ32X50-50
To replace this MALJ32X50-50, order the MBLJ32X50-50. Confirm the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, 50mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT threads, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Since this SKU has no -S magnet, you lose switches; the MBLJ upgrade would require CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if you add a magnet. The adjuster sets the end position but does not lock the load.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X50-50 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 0–50 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 MBLJ32X50-50 instead of this discontinued model.
