This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALJ series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLJ32X25-30S, 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 MALJ32X25-30-S is a double-acting aluminum mini cylinder with a rear adjustable-stroke stopper: you can trim up to 30 mm, giving a usable end-position window from -5 to 25 mm. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBLJ32X25-30-S.
The AirTAC MALJ32X25-30-S is a discontinued 32mm bore, double-acting double-rod mini cylinder with a 25mm stroke and a 30mm rear adjustable stop. It provides a usable end-position window of 0-25mm. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X25-30-S, matching the bore, stroke, force, and port.
This -S magnet SKU uses the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas the MBLJ upgrade uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The original MALJ features threaded covers, while the MBLJ replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, and end impact is softened by a fixed rubber bumper, not an 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 MBLJ32X25-30-S carries the same ratings.
| 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 MBLJ32X25-30-S matches these values.

Replacement: MALJ → MBLJ. No back-cover (CA/U/CM) and no SDB. Mounting: FA / LB.
Adjusts the cap seating height on a packaging line, leveraging the 346N pull force to spin torque-limiting chucks onto varied bottle necks.
Sets the exact 25mm contact insertion depth for wire harnesses, ensuring the rod-end M10x1.25 thread seats terminals without crushing housings.
To replace the MALJ32X25-30-S, order the exact direct replacement MBLJ32X25-30-S. Confirm the 32mm bore, 25mm stroke, 30mm adjust code, G1/8 port, PT threads, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). The -S magnet means a sensor family change from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
Remember the adjuster sets the end position but does not hold load without live air; use an external lock for held loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MALJ32X25-30-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLJ32X25-30-S, matching the 32mm bore, 25mm stroke, 30mm adjust code, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. The MBLJ upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and changes the magnet sensors from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
The 30mm rear adjuster allows a usable stroke window of 0-25mm. The adjuster acts only as a travel stop, not a load lock.
