This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X175-30S, 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).
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-30-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-30-S 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 145 to 175 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X175-30-S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-30-S
The AirTAC MALJ32X175-30-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. It features a 32mm bore, 175mm stroke, and a 30mm rear adjuster, giving a usable end-position window of 145-175mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X175-30-S, matching the bore, stroke, adjust code, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing. The older MALJ uses CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBLJ upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The MALJ has threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper; it has no air cushion, so do not confuse the adjustable stroke with cushioning. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it cannot hold a load without live air pressure.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-30-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-30-S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALJ adjustable-stroke mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLJ32X175-30-S |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 175 mm |
| Adjustable window | 145 – 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 |

| 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 MBLJ32X175-30-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 MBLJ32X175-30-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-30-S Is Used
Aluminum Extrusion Cut-off
Trim the saw stroke up to 30mm short on an aluminum extrusion cut-off saw, preventing the blade from striking the fixture base while cycling at 30-800mm/s.
Pneumatic Press Pin Insertion
Fine-tune the insertion depth of connector pins into an injection-molded housing, using the 346N pull force to retract the tooling cleanly without over-pressing the part.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-30-S with MBLJ32X175-30-S
To replace the MALJ32X175-30-S, order the MBLJ32X175-30-S. Confirm the 32mm bore, 175mm stroke, 30mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Note the sensor family change: the -S magnet upgrades from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. The adjuster sets end position but does not hold load; use an external lock for held loads.
At 175mm stroke, watch rod bending: the 12mm rod can take side loads, but guide the load to prevent binding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X175-30-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 145–175 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 MBLJ32X175-30-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-30-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X175-30-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X175-30-S, matching the 32mm bore, 175mm stroke, 30mm adjuster, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and changes the -S magnet sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The 30mm adjust code lets you trim the rear position, creating a usable stroke window of 145-175mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and the fixed rubber bumper softens end impact.
