This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B01-MBL32X75CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B01-MBL32X75CA in place of this model. 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-MAL32X75CA
The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAL Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAL32X75CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 75mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B01-MBL32X75CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B01-MAL Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAL32X75CA
The AirTAC B01-MAL32X75CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. The "B01-" prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base MAL32X75CA, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model with a 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread form. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is now directly replaced by the drop-in MBL32X75CA.
The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body for equally robust performance. This specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet (-S), so it cannot accept a position sensor. Internally, a heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease, and the carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard-chrome plating runs through a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The B01-MBL32X75CA carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The B01-MBL32X75CA produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac B01-MAL Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAL32X75CA Is Used
Textile Loom Yarn Guide
Shifts a yarn guide across a loom carriage using 402 N of push force, where the CA pivot bracket accommodates the slight arcing motion of the linkage.
Bottling Line Diverter
Pushes a 75 mm stroke diverter gate to route plastic bottles on a packaging conveyor, relying on the self-lubricating bearing for continuous high-speed cycling.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds small corrugated carton flaps prior to tape sealing, utilizing the compact 32 mm aluminum body to fit within tight packaging machine frames.
Replacing the Airtac B01-MAL Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAL32X75CA with B01-MBL32X75CA
To replace this discontinued cylinder, order the MBL32X75CA. It is a true drop-in swap: you keep the identical 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover. If you need to adjust the force, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. Note that this specific B01-MAL32X75CA has no magnet, so it cannot support a sensor; if you ever need position detection on the new MBL, you must order an -S version and migrate to the modern CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switch family (the old MAL used CS1-M / DS1-M). The standard MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper; if your application requires adjustable end-cushioning, look at the current MBLC line instead. Finally, a plain cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure drops—the rod will drift—so use an external rod lock for vertical or gravity-loaded setups.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the B01-MBL32X75CA (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-MBL32X75CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac B01-MAL Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAL32X75CA FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC B01-MAL32X75CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75CA, which offers the same 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, CA pivot mount, G1/8 port, and force ratings. The "B01-" prefix simply designated it as an application-dedicated variant; mechanically, the MBL32X75CA matches it exactly, though the new body uses a riveted rolling-packed design instead of threaded covers.
At 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore provides 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot use CS1-M or DS1-M sensors for position detection.
