This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X60-20S, 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 MALJ32X60-20S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20S 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 MBLJ32X60-20S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20S
The AirTAC MALJ32X60-20S is a discontinued 32mm bore, double-acting double-rod cylinder with a 60mm stroke and a 20mm rear adjustable stop. It provides a usable end-position window of 40-60mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X60-20S.
This SKU includes a -S magnet for CS1-M/DS1-M switches; the MBLJ successor upgrades to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The MALJ uses threaded covers, while the MBLJ features a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear adjuster sets travel without external stops, but it is a travel stop, not a lock. End impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper, as there is no adjustable air cushion.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALJ adjustable-stroke mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLJ32X60-20S |
| 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 |
| 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 MBLJ32X60-20S 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 MBLJ32X60-20S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20S Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Dialing the 40-60mm window lets a PCB routing spindle retract just enough for tool changes without crashing, using 402N at 0.5MPa to lift the spindle.
Connector Press Depth
Sets precise 40-60mm insertion depth for Molex connectors in wire harness assembly, fine-tuning the end position without adding external physical stop blocks.
Film Edge Nip
Adjusts the nip stroke on packaging film edge guides, trimming 20mm at the rear to prevent over-travel and tearing while applying 346N pull force.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20S with MBLJ32X60-20S
To replace the MALJ32X60-20S, specify the MBLJ32X60-20S. Confirm the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, 20mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). The -S magnet requires switching from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Remember the adjuster is a stop, not a lock.
The 60mm stroke is well within standard limits, avoiding rod-bending side-load risks seen on longer strokes.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X60-20S (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 MBLJ32X60-20S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-20S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X60-20S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X60-20S, matching the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, and 20mm adjust code. You must upgrade your sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The -20 adjuster trims up to 20mm at the rear, creating a usable 40-60mm window. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and it will not hold a load without live air.
