This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X225-10S, 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).

The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X225-10-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 215 to 225 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-10-S.
The AirTAC MALJ32X225-10-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, and a 10 mm rear adjuster, yielding a usable travel window of 215-225 mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-10-S, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches; the MBLJ upgrade shifts to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors and swaps the original threaded covers for a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear screw is a travel stop to fine-tune reach, not a lock—it will not hold a load without live air. End impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper, as there is no adjustable air cushion.

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 MBLJ32X225-10-S carries the same ratings.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 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 MBLJ32X225-10-S matches these values.

| 32 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×225 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |

| 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.
Trims the 10 mm end position to tuck varying corrugated box flaps at speed, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the repetitive impact.
Micro-adjusts the 225 mm reach to press adhesive labels onto curved plastic bottles, ensuring the CS1-M sensor flags the exact extend signal.
To replace the MALJ32X225-10-S with the MBLJ32X225-10-S, confirm the 32 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust code, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and FA or LB mounting (there is no back cover or SDB option). Retain the -S magnet, but note the sensor family changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. The adjuster sets the end position but does not lock the load.
At 225 mm, the 12 mm rod is moderately extended; ensure lateral loads are minimized to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ32X225-10-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-10-S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 10 mm adjuster, and G1/8 port. You must upgrade your sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches for the new riveted body.
The 10 mm rear adjuster creates a usable stroke window of 215-225 mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
