This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X180-30-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 MALJ32X180-30-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X180-30-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 150 to 180 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X180-30-S.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X180-30-S
The AirTAC MALJ32X180-30-S is a discontinued adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X180-30-S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, and G1/8 port exactly.
The -30 adjust code lets you dial the rear stopper back by 30 mm, creating a usable end-position window of 150-180 mm without adding external stops. This adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it cannot hold a load without live air pressure. Upgrading to the MBLJ brings a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the MALJ's threaded covers, and the -S magnet switches from the older CS1-M / DS1-M sensors to the modern CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family.

| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 180 mm |
| Adjustable window | 150 – 180 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 MBLJ32X180-30-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 MBLJ32X180-30-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X180-30-S Is Used
Carton Flap Folder
Fine-tune the folding arm reach on a packaging line, using the 30 mm rear stopper to synchronize side flaps without repositioning the cylinder's LB mounts.
Plastic Trim Press
Adjust the 180 mm end position to apply 563 N at 0.7 MPa for pressing small plastic trim pieces, ensuring consistent forming without bottoming out the tooling.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X180-30-S with MBLJ32X180-30-S
To replace this MALJ32X180-30-S, install the direct replacement MBLJ32X180-30-S. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and PT thread form are retained. Mounting remains FA or LB only, as there is no back cover or SDB option. Your -S magnet requires CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches on the new body.
Remember the rear adjuster sets the end position but does not hold loads without air; use an external lock for suspended weights.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X180-30-S (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 150–180 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 MBLJ32X180-30-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X180-30-S FAQ
Yes, the MALJ32X180-30-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X180-30-S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust code, and G1/8 port. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches.
The -30 adjust code gives a usable stroke window of 150-180 mm. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and the cylinder uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
