This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X500-100, 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 MALJ32X500-100
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-100 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 100 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 400 to 500 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X500-100.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-100
The AirTAC MALJ32X500-100 is a discontinued double-acting double-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 500 mm stroke. The -100 adjust code trims up to 100 mm at the rear, yielding a usable 400-500 mm end-position window. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X500-100, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot take a position sensor. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. The fixed rubber bumper softens end impact. Upgrading to the MBLJ32X500-100 transitions you from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body. On a 500 mm stroke, minimize side-load to prevent rod bending.

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 MBLJ32X500-100 carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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 MBLJ32X500-100 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-100 Is Used
Packaging Pusher
Adjusts the rear stop to fine-tune the 500 mm stroke for variable carton depths on a packaging line, ensuring positive 346 N pull retraction without adding external stops.
Pallet Dispenser
Sets a precise end window to push empty pallets in a materials handling cell, where the 100 mm trim absorbs mechanical drift without requiring custom spacers.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-100 with MBLJ32X500-100
To replace this MALJ with the MBLJ32X500-100, confirm the 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, -100 adjust code, PT G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod-end thread. Mounting is FA or LB only; there is no back-cover or SDB option. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if you need position detection on the MBLJ upgrade, you must select the -S variant and switch from the old CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
Remember the adjuster is a stop, not a lock. At 500 mm stroke, rod-bending from side-load is a real risk; guide the load externally.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X500-100 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 400–500 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 MBLJ32X500-100 instead of this discontinued model.
