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).
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20
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.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20 |

| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 60 mm |
| Adjustable window | 40 – 60 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 |

| 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 MBLJ32X60-20 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 MBLJ32X60-20 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20 Is Used
Connector Insertion Travel Limit
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.
Pneumatic Vise Jaw Adjustment
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.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20 with MBLJ32X60-20
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
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X60-20 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 40–60 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 MBLJ32X60-20 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20 FAQ
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.
