This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X160-75S, 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 MALJ32X160-75-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X160-75-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 75 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 85 to 160 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X160-75-S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X160-75-S
The AirTAC MALJ32X160-75-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a rear adjustable stroke stopper. The 75mm adjust code creates a usable end-position window of 85-160mm, letting you dial in exact reach without adding external stops. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X160-75-S, matching the 32mm bore, 160mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
Two key upgrade facts apply to the MBLJ successor: the old MALJ used threaded covers and a CS1-M/DS1-M magnet system, while the MBLJ features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Remember the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but cannot hold a load without live air. Impact is softened only 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 MBLJ32X160-75-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 MBLJ32X160-75-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X160-75-S Is Used
Aluminum Extrusion Notcher
Fine-tune the cutting stroke on an aluminum profile notcher; the 75mm rear adjustment lets you alter the cut depth for different profile sizes without machining new hard stops.
Carton Flap Folder
Adjust the folding arm reach on a packaging line carton sealer; the 346N pull force securely retracts the arm, and the travel stop lets you accommodate varying box heights quickly.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X160-75-S with MBLJ32X160-75-S
To replace the MALJ32X160-75-S with the MBLJ32X160-75-S, confirm the 32mm bore, 160mm stroke, 75mm 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. Because your SKU has the -S magnet, you must upgrade your sensors from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the new CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family. The rear adjuster sets the end position but is a stop, not a lock; use an external lock for held loads.
At 160mm stroke, keep side-load minimized to prevent rod bending, as the fixed rubber bumper cannot correct misalignment.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X160-75-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 85–160 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 MBLJ32X160-75-S instead of this discontinued model.
