This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X500-75, 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 MALJ32X500-75
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-75 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 75 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 425 to 500 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X500-75.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-75
The AirTAC MALJ32X500-75 adjustable-stroke mini cylinder is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X500-75, matching the 32mm bore, 500mm stroke, G1/8 port, and 75mm adjustment. This double-acting double-rod unit trims up to 75mm at the rear, creating a usable end-position window of 425-500mm.
The rear adjuster functions as a travel stop, not a lock, so it cannot hold a load without live air pressure. This SKU has no magnet (-S) and cannot accept a position sensor. The original MALJ uses threaded covers and the CS1-M/DS1-M sensor family, while the MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. End impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, as there is no adjustable air cushion.

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 MBLJ32X500-75 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 MBLJ32X500-75 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-75 Is Used
Textile loom beam indexing
Fine-tunes the 500mm reach to align fabric beams for take-up, where the 75mm rear adjustment compensates for weave stretch while the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the rapid end-of-stroke impact.
Woodworking sander stroke limit
Sets a precise 475mm travel limit to prevent the 12mm rod from over-extending into the sanding belt, relying on the travel stop to establish the exact sanding head depth.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-75 with MBLJ32X500-75
Replace the MALJ32X500-75 directly with the MBLJ32X500-75. Confirm the 32mm bore, 500mm stroke, 75mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; if you need sensing, step up to an MBLJ32X500-75S and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
Note that the 500mm stroke on a 12mm rod invites rod bending under side loads—use a guide to prevent jamming. Remember the adjuster is a stop, not a lock.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X500-75 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 425–500 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 MBLJ32X500-75 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X500-75 FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X500-75 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X500-75, which matches the 32mm bore, 500mm stroke, 75mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design from the original threaded covers.
The usable end-position window is 425-500mm, set by trimming up to 75mm at the rear. This SKU has no -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor.
