This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X500-10, 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 MALJ32X500-10
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-10 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 490 to 500 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X500-10.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-10
The AirTAC MALJ32X500-10 is a discontinued double-acting adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. It provides a usable extension window of 490-500 mm via a 10 mm rear stopper screw. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X500-10, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port and mounting.
This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a position sensor. The rear adjuster sets the end position but is a travel stop, not a lock, so it will not hold a load without live air. Unlike the newer MBLJ riveted rolling-packed body, the MALJ uses threaded covers, and upgrading means switching from the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M sensor family to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG if a magnet is added later.

| Stroke | 500 mm |
| Adjustable window | 490 – 500 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, adjustable stroke |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|

| 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 MBLJ32X500-10 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 MBLJ32X500-10 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-10 Is Used
Long-reach PCB shuttle
Transfers delicate printed circuit boards between test stations. The 490-500 mm micro-adjustment window fine-tunes the hand-off reach without remounting brackets, while the 346 N pull force safely retracts the carrier.
Textile loom let-off
Maintains tension on long fabric webbing runs.
Carton flap folder
Extends 500 mm to fold large corrugated box flaps on a packaging line. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs the repeated end-of-stroke impact, protecting the mechanical fold arms from shock.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-10 with MBLJ32X500-10
To replace this MALJ32X500-10, order the exact MBLJ32X500-10 direct. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, and M10x1.25 rod-end thread. Mounting is Basic, FA or LB only as there is no back-cover or SDB option. Note this cylinder uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. Because the 500 mm stroke is at the maximum limit for this 32 mm bore, minimize side-load to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X500-10 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 490–500 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 MBLJ32X500-10 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-10 FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X500-10 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X500-10, which matches the 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. The MBLJ upgrades the construction to a riveted rolling-packed body from the original threaded covers.
The 10 mm adjuster is a travel stop that sets the 490-500 mm end position, not a lock; it cannot hold a load without continuous air pressure. This specific SKU also lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CS1-M or DS1-M position sensors.
