This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X1000-S-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X1000-S-CM 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 MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X1000-S-CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X1000-S-CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 1000mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X1000-S-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X1000-S-CM
The AirTAC MAL32X1000-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa, scaling to a 82kgf maximum at 1.0MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X1000-S-CM, matching the 32mm bore, 1000mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover exactly.
This legacy unit features a threaded front and back cover, whereas the modern MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body for equivalent strength. The 1000mm stroke is a non-standard made-to-order length exceeding the 500mm standard maximum. Because the 12mm carbon-steel rod is thin relative to the 1-meter extension, it has low side-load tolerance and requires an external guide to prevent bending. The built-in -S magnet pairs with older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL successor upgrades to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X1000-S-CM 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 MBL32X1000-S-CM 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 MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X1000-S-CM Is Used
Textile Loom Beam Indexing
Drives the 1-meter indexing stroke on a weaving loom to shift heavy fabric beams, utilizing the 402N push force while relying on external guide rails to support the extended 12mm rod.
PCB Conveyor Diverter Gate
Actuates a 1-meter long diverter arm on an electronics assembly line conveyor, where the CM round-end back cover accommodates the slight arcing motion of the long pivot arm.
Vertical Carton Magazine Pusher
Pushes folded carton blanks upward out of a 1-meter deep magazine hopper, requiring the 346N pull force to retract the long rod against the weight of the stacked paper stock.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X1000-S-CM with MBL32X1000-S-CM
To replace this actuator, order the MBL32X1000-S-CM. Confirm the 32mm bore, 1000mm stroke, M10x1.25 rod thread, G1/8 port, and the CM round-end back cover. The -S magnet means you must upgrade your sensors: the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M switches will not fit the MBL, so select current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed or solid-state units. The standard PT tapered port thread is retained.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push. At 1000mm stroke, the 12mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side-loads; use a CM round-end pivot or an external linear guide. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact but does not lock the rod—if air is lost, the load drifts. For adjustable cushioning, specify the MBLC variant on the current line instead.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X1000-S-CM (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 MBL32X1000-S-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X1000-S-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X1000-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X1000-S-CM, offering the same 32mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 82kgf max force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting. You must upgrade your sensors from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
At 0.5MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull force. At 0.7MPa push is 563N. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact absorption, not an adjustable cushion; for adjustable air cushioning, specify the MBLC variant.
