This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X175-75S, 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).

The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X175-75-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 100 to 175 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X175-75-S.
The AirTAC MALJ32X175-75-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. A rear stopper screw lets you trim the end position by up to 75 mm, creating a usable stroke window of 100-175 mm.
The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X175-75-S, matching the bore, stroke, adjust code, and G1/8 port. This original MALJ uses threaded covers and a CS1-M / DS1-M magnet sensor. The MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and switches to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end impact, but the adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.

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 MBLJ32X175-75-S 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 MBLJ32X175-75-S matches these values.

|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×175 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -75 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 100–175 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.
Fine-tune the rear stop to 150 mm to fold minor carton flaps precisely without crushing the corrugated board, adjusting reach without swapping hardware.
Trim the stroke by 75 mm to match varying package heights on a tamp-label applicator, ensuring the 346 N pull retracts the pad cleanly.
To replace the MALJ32X175-75-S, install the MBLJ32X175-75-S. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 75 mm adjust code, PT G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. Mounting stays FA or LB only, as there is no back cover or SDB option. You must also 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.
At 175 mm stroke, minimize side loads to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ32X175-75-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X175-75-S, matching the 32 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 75 mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. You will need to upgrade your switches from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
The 75 mm adjust code lets you trim the 175 mm stroke, giving a usable window of 100-175 mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
