This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X80-30, 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 MALJ32X80-30 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 30 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 50 to 80 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X80-30.
The AirTAC MALJ32X80-30 is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and an 80 mm stroke. It is discontinued and the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X80-30. The -30 adjust code means you can trim up to 30 mm at the rear screw, giving a usable end-position window of 50-80 mm.
This SKU has no -S magnet, so it cannot take a position sensor. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. Upgrading to the MBLJ32X80-30 changes the switch family from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG if you ever need sensing, and swaps the threaded covers for a riveted rolling-packed body. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.

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 MBLJ32X80-30 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 MBLJ32X80-30 matches these values.

|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×80 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -30 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 50–80 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.
Fine-tune the tucking arm reach on a case erector by trimming 30 mm off the 80 mm stroke, adapting to varying box heights on the fly without swapping hardware.
Position a notching fixture against aluminum profiles with a 346 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, relying on the rear stop to prevent over-travel during the cut cycle.
To replace this MALJ32X80-30, order the MBLJ32X80-30. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, -30 adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (there is no back cover or SDB option). Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor. Remember the rear adjuster is a stop, not a lock, so add an external locking valve if you need to hold a load safely without air.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ32X80-30 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X80-30, which matches the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if you add a magnet.
The -30 adjust code lets you trim the rear travel stop by up to 30 mm, creating a usable stroke window of 50-80 mm. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock, and cannot hold a load without air pressure.
