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-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).
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-10-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-10-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 490 to 500 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X500-10-S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-10-S
The AirTAC MALJ32X500-10-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod adjustable-stroke cylinder. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X500-10-S, matching the 32mm bore, 500mm stroke, G1/8 port, and magnet. The -10 code provides a 10mm rear trim, creating a usable 490-500mm end-position window.
This -S variant uses the older CS1-M / DS1-M sensor switches, whereas the MBLJ replacement upgrades to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The original MALJ features threaded covers, while the MBLJ uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to fine-tune reach without external bolts, but it does not hold load without live air. End impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper, as there is no air cushion.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-10-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-10-S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALJ adjustable-stroke mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLJ32X500-10-S |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| 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) |
|---|---|
| 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 MBLJ32X500-10-S 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-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-10-S Is Used
Long-Reach Pallet Pusher
Pushes light pallets at the end of a 500mm cycle; the 10mm rear stop fine-tunes the final resting position against a fixed machine wall without adding external bumpers.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Adjusts the full extension by up to 10mm to set precise yarn tension bar depth on a textile loom, taking advantage of the 346N pull force for smooth retraction.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-10-S with MBLJ32X500-10-S
To replace this MALJ32X500-10-S with the MBLJ32X500-10-S, confirm the 32mm bore, 500mm stroke, 10mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. Mounting is Basic, FA, or LB only, with no back cover or SDB. The -S magnet means a sensor family change from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. Note the adjuster sets end position but is not a lock.
Because this 500mm stroke is the maximum limit for a 32mm bore, the long rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending; ensure rigid guidance to prevent jackknifing.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X500-10-S (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-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-10-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X500-10-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X500-10-S, which matches the 32mm bore, 500mm stroke, 10mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and changes the -S magnet sensors from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
The -10 adjust code allows a 10mm rear trim, giving a usable stroke window of 490-500mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and will not hold a load without live air.
