This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X60-40, 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).

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-40
The AirTAC MALJ32X60-40 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a 32mm bore and 60mm stroke. It features a rear screw stopper that allows you to trim up to 40mm, yielding a usable end-position window from 20mm to 60mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X60-40, matching the bore, stroke, adjust code, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The adjuster is a 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, as there is no adjustable air cushion. The original MALJ uses threaded covers and a PT tapered port, whereas the current MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body.

| Adjustable window | 20 – 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 MBLJ32X60-40 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 MBLJ32X60-40 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-40 Is Used
Dispenser Nozzle Height
Fine-tuning the 60mm reach down to 20mm sets the exact crush gap on a gasket applicator, preventing nozzle damage without adding external spacers.
Wire Straightener Feed
Trimming the return stroke prevents the 12mm rod from pulling the wire guide past the bearing block, ensuring the 346N pull force retracts consistently.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-40 with MBLJ32X60-40
To replace the MALJ32X60-40, specify the MBLJ32X60-40 to retain the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, 40mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, or LB, with no back-cover or SDB options allowed. Because this SKU lacks a -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; if you need position feedback, select an MBLJ32X60-40S and upgrade from the old CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family. Remember, the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and cannot hold a load without air pressure.
This 32mm bore generates 563N at 0.7 MPa and a maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X60-40 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 20–60 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 MBLJ32X60-40 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-40 FAQ
