This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X180-10-S, 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 MALJ32X180-10-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X180-10-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 170 to 180 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X180-10-S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X180-10-S
The AirTAC MALJ32X180-10-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. It features a 32mm bore, 180mm stroke, and a rear adjuster that lets you trim up to 10mm, giving a usable window of 170-180mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X180-10-S, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and mounting.
The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but cannot hold a load without live air. The fixed rubber bumper softens end impact, and the -S magnet works with CS1-M or DS1-M switches. The MBLJ upgrade uses a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

| 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 MBLJ32X180-10-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 MBLJ32X180-10-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X180-10-S Is Used
Carton Flap Folder
Fine-tunes the end position to 175mm so the 346N pull retracts the folding arm just short of the mechanical stop, preventing crushing of corrugated box flaps.
Bottle Capper Heads
Adjusts the cylinder's reach in a capping station, allowing the 32mm bore to apply precise torque without repositioning the entire machine frame.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X180-10-S with MBLJ32X180-10-S
To replace the MALJ32X180-10-S, order the MBLJ32X180-10-S. Confirm the 32mm bore, 180mm stroke, 10mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). The -S magnet changes sensor families from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock.
At 180mm stroke, use a guide to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X180-10-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 170–180 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 MBLJ32X180-10-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X180-10-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X180-10-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X180-10-S, which matches the 32mm bore, 180mm stroke, 10mm adjust code, force, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. The MBLJ upgrade uses a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of threaded covers and CS1-M/DS1-M switches.
The 10mm adjuster allows a usable stroke window of 170-180mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it cannot hold a load without live air, and the cylinder uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
