This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X175-10S, 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 MALJ32X175-10-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-10-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 10 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 165 to 175 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X175-10-S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-10-S
The AirTAC MALJ32X175-10-S is a discontinued 32mm bore, double-acting double-rod mini cylinder with a rear adjustable stroke. The -10 adjust code lets you trim up to 10mm at the rear, creating a usable end-position window of 165-175mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X175-10-S, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This cylinder has a fixed rubber bumper, meaning the adjustable stroke sets the travel end-point but does not provide an adjustable air cushion. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it will not hold a load without live air pressure. The original MALJ uses threaded covers and a -S magnet compatible with CS1-M/DS1-M switches. The MBLJ upgrade shifts to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-10-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-10-S |

| Series | MALJ adjustable-stroke mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLJ32X175-10-S |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 175 mm |
| Adjustable window | 165 – 175 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, adjustable stroke |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.1 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 500 mm |
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 MBLJ32X175-10-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 MBLJ32X175-10-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-10-S Is Used
PCB Edge-Gate Setter
Dials the exact 10mm window on a conveyor edge-gate setter, ensuring the 346N pull retracts the guide clear of wider PCB panels before transfer.
Carton Flap Tucker
Fine-tunes the end position on a carton flap tucker, using the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the 0.7 MPa 563N impact while perfectly timing the fold.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-10-S with MBLJ32X175-10-S
To replace this MALJ32X175-10-S with the MBLJ32X175-10-S, confirm the 32mm bore, 175mm stroke, and 10mm adjust code. Keep the PT G1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod-end thread. Mounting is FA or LB only; there is no back-cover or SDB option. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, note the sensor family change from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock.
At 175mm stroke, keep the rod-end threaded attachment loose during initial pressurization to avoid side-load rod-bending from misalignment.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X175-10-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 165–175 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 MBLJ32X175-10-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-10-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X175-10-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X175-10-S, matching the 32mm bore, 175mm stroke, 10mm adjust code, force, and G1/8 port. You will need to update your sensors, as the MALJ -S magnet uses CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MBLJ uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The -10 adjust code allows you to trim up to 10mm at the rear, creating a usable stroke window of 165-175mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
