This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X225-40, 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 MALJ32X225-40

This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-40.

About the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X225-40
The AirTAC MALJ32X225-40 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 225 mm stroke. It features a rear screw stopper that lets you trim up to 40 mm of travel, giving a usable stroke window of 185-225 mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-40, matching the bore, stroke, adjuster, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This SKU lacks a -S magnet and cannot accept a position sensor. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air pressure. The MALJ uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Impact is softened by the rubber bumper only—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 MBLJ32X225-40 carries the same ratings.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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 MBLJ32X225-40 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X225-40 Is Used
Carton Flap Folder
Adjustable end-position tuning lets a packaging line dial the stroke to match varying corrugated carton heights, preventing flap crushing while the cylinder cycles at high speed.
Pneumatic Press Pin Stop
The rear stopper sets a precise lower dead point for seating bearings without bottoming out the rod, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the final impact.
Replacing the Airtac MALJ32 Adjustable Mini Cylinder MALJ32X225-40 with MBLJ32X225-40
To replace this MALJ32X225-40, order the direct replacement MBLJ32X225-40. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA or LB mounting (no back cover or SDB is used). If upgrading sensors, note the MBLJ uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches; this no-S MALJ cannot take a sensor. Because the 225 mm stroke is long, minimize side-load to prevent rod bending. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock; add an external lock for held loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLJ32X225-40 (same bore/stroke/adjust)
- ✓ Same 185–225 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 MBLJ32X225-40 instead of this discontinued model.
