This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X225-100S, 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 MALJ32X225-100-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 100 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 125 to 225 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-100-S.
The AirTAC MALJ32X225-100-S is a discontinued 32mm bore, double-acting double-rod cylinder with a 225mm stroke and a 100mm rear adjustable stopper, yielding a usable extension window of 125-225mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-100-S, matching the bore, stroke, adjuster, and G1/8 port.
This -S variant includes a magnet for position sensing, using the legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches on the MALJ; the MBLJ upgrade shifts to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The original MALJ features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MBLJ replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, meaning it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air pressure.

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 MBLJ32X225-100-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 MBLJ32X225-100-S matches these values.
| MALJ | Adjustable-stroke aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×225 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |
| -100 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 125–225 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.
Sets the precise nip gap on long fabric runs, allowing operators to trim the 225mm extension down by 100mm to accommodate different material thicknesses on the fly.
Adjusts the folding arm reach on packaging lines for different box heights, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the end-of-stroke impact during rapid cycling.
To replace the MALJ32X225-100-S with the MBLJ32X225-100-S, confirm the 32mm bore, 225mm stroke, 100mm adjust code, PT G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. Mounting is limited to FA or LB (no back cover or SDB), and the -S magnet requires a sensor family change from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock; add an external lock for held loads.
At 225mm stroke, minimize side-load on the 12mm rod to prevent premature seal wear and rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ32X225-100-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-100-S, which matches the 32mm bore, 225mm stroke, 100mm adjuster, and G1/8 port. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and changes the -S magnet sensor compatibility from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The -100 adjust code allows you to trim up to 100mm at the rear, creating a usable stroke window of 125-225mm. Note that the rear screw is a travel stop, not a lock; it cannot hold a load without continuous air pressure.
