This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X225-50, 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 MALJ32X225-50 is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 50 mm, giving a usable end-position window from 175 to 225 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-50.
The AirTAC MALJ32X225-50 is a discontinued 32mm bore, double-acting double-rod mini cylinder with a 50mm rear adjustable stroke stopper. It provides a usable extension window of 175-225mm.
This SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept a position sensor. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it sets the end position but will not hold a load without live air. The original MALJ uses threaded covers and fixed rubber bumpers, while the MBLJ upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body.

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 MBLJ32X225-50 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 MBLJ32X225-50 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. |
| -50 | Adjustable amount: trim the end to a 175–225 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.
Adjust the rear stopper on a packaging line to fold varying corrugated carton heights, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the end-of-stroke impact.
Fine-tune the squeeze gap for different rivet lengths in an aerospace assembly jig, setting the exact 32mm bore reach without adding external shims.
Replace this MALJ32X225-50 directly with the MBLJ32X225-50, confirming the 32mm bore, 225mm stroke, 50mm adjust code, PT G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB allowed). Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot hold a sensor; upgrading to an -S MBLJ moves you from the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
The 50mm adjuster screw lets you dial in depth without external stops, but remember it acts only as a travel stop, not a mechanical lock.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ32X225-50 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X225-50, which matches the 32mm bore, 225mm stroke, 50mm adjuster, G1/8 port, and 82kgf max force. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design from the original threaded covers.
The 50mm adjust code allows you to trim the rear stopper, creating a usable stroke window of 175-225mm. This adjuster is a travel stop only, not a lock, and this no-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor.
