This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X225-20, 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 MALJ32X225-20
The AirTAC Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X225-20 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 20 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 205 to 225 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-20.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X225-20
The AirTAC MALJ32X225-20 is a discontinued double-acting mini cylinder with a 20mm rear travel stop, yielding a usable 205-225mm stroke window. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-20, matching the 32mm bore, G1/8 port, and force ratings.
This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a position sensor. The rear adjuster sets the end position but is a travel stop, not a lock—it will not hold a load without live air. The original MALJ uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper; the MBLJ upgrade shifts to a riveted rolling-packed body. Impact absorption relies entirely on that 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 MBLJ32X225-20 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 MBLJ32X225-20 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X225-20 Is Used
Carton Flap Tucking
Fine-tune the 20mm rear stop on a packaging line carton erector to tuck varying flap heights, preventing crush damage while the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the end-of-stroke impact.
Aluminum Extrusion Notching
Trim the stroke on an extrusion notching fixture to accommodate different profile lengths, using the 346N pull force to retract the tooling clear of the workpiece for safe unloading.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X225-20 with MBLJ32X225-20
To replace this MALJ32X225-20, order the MBLJ32X225-20. Confirm the 32mm bore, 225mm stroke, 20mm adjust code, PT G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if you need position detection on the new unit, specify an MBLJ-S to use the updated CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock.
At 225mm, the 12mm rod is manageable, but keep side-load alignment tight to avoid rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X225-20 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 205–225 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 MBLJ32X225-20 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X225-20 FAQ
