This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X60-20, 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).

The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 20 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 40 to 60 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X60-20.
The AirTAC MALJ32X60-20 is a discontinued 32mm bore, double-acting mini cylinder with a 60mm stroke and a 20mm rear adjustable stopper. This gives a usable end-position window of 40-60mm, letting you dial in the exact reach without adding external spacers. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X60-20, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The rear adjuster is a mechanical travel stop, not a lock—it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. End impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. Upgrading to the MBLJ brings a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the MALJ's threaded covers, and enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if needed.

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 MBLJ32X60-20 carries the same ratings.
| 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 MBLJ32X60-20 matches these values.
| MALJ | Adjustable-stroke aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×60 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 40–60 mm window. |
| S | Optional magnet for a CS1-M / DS1-M sensor (MBLJ uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). |
Replacement: MALJ → MBLJ. No back-cover (CA/U/CM) and no SDB. Mounting: FA / LB.
Tune the rear stopper to 45mm on an automotive harness assembly press, preventing over-insertion of delicate plastic connectors while the 346N pull force safely retracts the tool.
Trim the end position by 15mm on a CNC machining vise to accommodate different raw aluminum stock lengths, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the 563N @0.7MPa clamping impact.
To replace the MALJ32X60-20, order the direct replacement MBLJ32X60-20. Confirm the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, 20mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and PT thread are retained. Mounting remains Basic, FA, or LB only—there is no back cover or SDB option. Since this is a no-S SKU, it cannot take a sensor; the MBLJ upgrade allows adding CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches later.
The 20mm adjuster sets the end position but does not hold load without air; use an external lock for suspended loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ32X60-20 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X60-20, which matches the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, 20mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and force. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this no-S MALJ SKU cannot accept a sensor.
The -20 adjust code provides a usable stroke window from 40mm to 60mm. The adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
