This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X85-50-S, 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 MALJ32X85-50-S

This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X85-50-S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X85-50-S
The AirTAC MALJ32X85-50-S is a discontinued adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X85-50-S, matching the 32mm bore, 85mm stroke, and G1/8 port. The 50mm adjuster trims the rear position, creating a usable 35-85mm stroke window without external stops.
This -S magnet model uses older CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MBLJ replacement upgrades to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The MALJ features threaded covers; the MBLJ uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and end impacts rely on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable 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 MBLJ32X85-50-S carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 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 MBLJ32X85-50-S matches these values.

Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X85-50-S with MBLJ32X85-50-S
Replace the MALJ32X85-50-S directly with the MBLJ32X85-50-S, keeping the 32mm bore, 85mm stroke, 50mm adjust code, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Update your sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Remember the adjuster sets end position but does not hold load without live air.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X85-50-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 35–85 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 MBLJ32X85-50-S instead of this discontinued model.
