This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B01-MBL32X150SU, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. The MBL replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor switches (the MAL used CS1-M / DS1-M).
Airtac B01-MAL Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAL32X150SU
The AirTAC B01-MAL Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAL32X150SU is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B01-MBL32X150SU, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B01-MAL Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAL32X150SU
The AirTAC B01-MAL32X150SU is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. The B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the base MAL32X150SU, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard-chrome plating. AirTAC has ended the MAL line, so the direct replacement is the MBL32X150SU, which matches the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U flat-end back cover.
This legacy model features a threaded front and back cover design, whereas the current MBL replacement utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. The built-in -S magnet on this MAL unit is designed for the older CS1-M and DS1-M reed switches; if you transition to the MBL, you must update to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac B01-MAL Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAL32X150SU Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Pushes a carrier plate into the routing spindle area; the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa firmly secures the board without flexing the 150 mm stroke.
Carton Flap Folder
Extends 150 mm to tuck minor flaps on small packaging lines, relying on the self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide to handle repetitive actuation.
Bottle Divert Gate
Actuates a routing flap for PET bottle traffic, where the U flat-end back cover provides a rigid rear mount to withstand repeated lateral shifting.
Replacing the Airtac B01-MAL Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAL32X150SU with B01-MBL32X150SU
To replace the B01-MAL32X150SU, order the MBL32X150SU. This direct upgrade preserves the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U flat-end back cover, and the magnet for position detection. If your application requires adjustable cushioning instead of the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC32X150SU on the current line. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops; use an external rod lock for suspended loads.
When sizing, you can step down to the 25 mm bore (providing 245 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter duties, or step up to the 40 mm bore (delivering 628 N push at 0.5 MPa with a larger G1/4 port) for higher force. Because the 150 mm stroke combined with the 12 mm rod presents a side-load risk, use an external guide rail or a pivot mounting bracket to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the B01-MBL32X150SU (same bore/stroke/force)
- ✓ Same G1/8 port and mounting accessories
- ✓ Sensor: swap CS1-M/DS1-M → CMSG/DMSG/EMSG
- ✓ Need a cushion? use MBLC (adjustable air cushion)
- ✓ Confirm back cover (CA / U) and thread (PT/NPT/G)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.1 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Front/rear covers are threaded — not intended for field disassembly.
- check Use the correct mounting accessory (LB / FA / SDB) and back cover (CA / U / CM).
- check For new builds, specify the B01-MBL32X150SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac B01-MAL Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAL32X150SU FAQ
Yes, the B01-MAL32X150SU is discontinued. The B01- prefix simply denotes an application-dedicated variant of the base MAL32X150SU. The direct replacement is the MBL32X150SU, which offers the same 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U flat-end cover. Note that the MAL -S magnet used CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement requires CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 346 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder operates at 30-800 mm/s and uses a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.
