This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X90-30S, 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 MALJ32X90-30S 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 60 to 90 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X90-30S.
The AirTAC MALJ32X90-30S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 90 mm stroke. It provides a usable extension window of 60-90 mm by trimming up to 30 mm at the rear screw stopper. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X90-30S, matching the bore, stroke, adjust code, and G1/8 port.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for position sensing. The original MALJ works with CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBLJ replacement upgrades to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MALJ features threaded covers, whereas the newer MBLJ uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear 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 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 MBLJ32X90-30S 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 MBLJ32X90-30S matches these values.
| MALJ | Adjustable-stroke aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×90 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -30 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 60–90 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.
Dials the cutting depth window from 60 to 90 mm.
Trims the notch stroke to 75 mm for varied profile lengths. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs the 563 N impact force at 0.7 MPa, protecting the notch tooling from shock.
Sets a precise 60 to 90 mm fold depth for carton flaps. The 346 N pull force retracts the plate cleanly, and the rear stopper allows fast depth changes without swapping cylinders.
To replace the MALJ32X90-30S with the MBLJ32X90-30S, confirm the 32 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust code, PT G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. Mounting is Basic, FA, or LB only; there is no back-cover or SDB option. Remember the rear adjuster is a mechanical stop, not a lock, so an external holding mechanism is required for suspended loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ32X90-30S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X90-30S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and changes the magnet switches from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The usable stroke window is 60-90 mm, set by trimming up to 30 mm at the rear. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and will not hold a load without live air.
