AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X225-40S, 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 MALJ32X225-40-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 40 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 185 to 225 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-40-S.
The AirTAC MALJ32X225-40-S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 225 mm stroke. It features a 40 mm rear adjuster, giving a usable end-position window of 185-225 mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-40-S, matching bore, stroke, force, and port.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MBLJ upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The MALJ has threaded covers, while the MBLJ uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but holds no load without live air. A fixed rubber bumper softens end impact. Port is G1/8, rod is 12 mm, and rod-end thread is M10x1.25. Thread form is PT. Mounting is FA or LB only; no back cover or SDB applies. Operating pressure is 0.1-1.0 MPa. Temperature range is -20 to +70 C. Speed is 30-800 mm/s. Proof pressure is 1.5 MPa. Air must be filtered to 40 um. The rod is carbon steel with 20 um hard chrome. It uses a heterogeneous grease-retaining seal. Standard strokes for bore 32 are 25-500 mm. Adjust codes are 10,20,30,40,50,75,100. Related series are MAL/MBL (fixed stroke) and MALD/MBLD (double rod). The cylinder is not ISO 6432 or ISO 15552. The adjuster is not a lock. The bumper is not an adjustable cushion.

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-S matches these values.

Replacement: MALJ → MBLJ. No back-cover (CA/U/CM) and no SDB. Mounting: FA / LB.
Dial in the 185-225 mm reach on a PCB depaneling router to set the cutting depth without machining new hard stops.
Trim the end position by up to 40 mm to maintain tension on a packaging film converting line.
Replace the MALJ32X225-40-S with the MBLJ32X225-40-S. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust code, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and PT thread form. Mounting is FA or LB only; no back cover or SDB applies. The -S magnet on the MALJ works with CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MBLJ uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock. For the 225 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by avoiding side loads. The MALJ has threaded covers; the MBLJ has a riveted rolling-packed body. The fixed rubber bumper softens end impact.

Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ32X225-40-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-40-S, matching the 32 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust code, force, and G1/8 port. The MBLJ uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers, and its -S magnet works with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches.
The 40 mm adjuster allows a usable stroke window of 185-225 mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but holds no load without live air. A fixed rubber bumper softens end impact.
