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).

The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X85-50-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 50 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 35 to 85 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X85-50-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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 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 MBLJ32X85-50-S matches these values.

Replacement: MALJ → MBLJ. No back-cover (CA/U/CM) and no SDB. Mounting: FA / LB.
Fine-tunes the insertion stroke for delicate automotive connector pins, using the stopper to absorb impact without locking the load.
Adjusts the folding arm reach on packaging lines to handle varying box heights, relying on the fixed rubber bumper for soft contact.
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
Yes, the MALJ32X85-50-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X85-50-S, which matches the 32mm bore, 85mm stroke, 50mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. You will need to upgrade your sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The 50mm adjuster creates a usable stroke window from 35mm to 85mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
