This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X60-40S, 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 MALJ32X60-40-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-40-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 40 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 20 to 60 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X60-40-S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-40-S
The AirTAC MALJ32X60-40-S is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a rear travel stopper. It gives a usable extension window of 20-60 mm by trimming up to 40 mm off the 60 mm stroke.
The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X60-40-S. Upgrading swaps the threaded covers for a riveted rolling-packed body, and the -S magnet changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The rear adjuster sets the end position but does not hold the load without live air; the fixed rubber bumper softens impact only.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-40-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-40-S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALJ adjustable-stroke mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLJ32X60-40-S |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 60 mm |
| 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 |
| 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 MBLJ32X60-40-S 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-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-40-S Is Used
PCB Router Depth Stop
Dials the exact 45 mm cutting depth on an SMT depaneling router.
Carton Flap Folder
Adjusts the tuck arm stroke on a packaging line for varying box heights. Trimming 20 mm off the stroke prevents crushing shorter cartons, using the 346 N pull force to retract the arm cleanly.
Pneumatic Press Pin Insertion
Sets the precise 55 mm bottoming position for pressing connectors into aluminum housings. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs the 563 N end impact, while the stopper allows quick depth changes for different connector lengths.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-40-S with MBLJ32X60-40-S
To replace this MALJ32X60-40-S, specify the MBLJ32X60-40-S and confirm the 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Remember the adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, so add an external holding valve for suspended loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X60-40-S (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-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X60-40-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X60-40-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X60-40-S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. You will need to upgrade your sensors because the MBLJ uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
The 40 mm adjust code creates a usable stroke window of 20-60 mm. Note that the rear screw is a travel stop, not a lock; it cannot hold a load without continuous air pressure.
