This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X1100CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X1100CA 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 MAL32X1100CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X1100CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 1100mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X1100CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X1100CA
The AirTAC MAL32X1100CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and a 1100mm made-to-order stroke. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X1100CA, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy unit features a fixed rubber bumper and threaded front/back covers, whereas the current MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The carbon-steel rod has a 20um hard-chrome plating, and the self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide supports its 12mm diameter.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X1100CA 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 MBL32X1100CA 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 MAL32X1100CA Is Used
Textile Loom Tentering
Uses the CA pivot to swing fabric guide arms across a 1100mm span, relying on the 402N push force to maintain tension without binding.
Packaging Diverter Arm
Pushes cardboard cartons on a long-stroke routing lane where the 346N pull force cleanly retracts the 12mm rod over 1100mm.
Vertical Lift Gate
Raises an access panel on a compact machinery cabinet, requiring the full 1100mm stroke and the fixed rubber bumper to soften the end of travel.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X1100CA with MBL32X1100CA
To replace the MAL32X1100CA, order the MBL32X1100CA. Confirm the PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and that no magnet is needed. If a position sensor is required, you must move to an MBL32X1100SCA, which uses the newer CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M. If you need an adjustable air cushion at the end of stroke, step up to the MBLC series, as the MAL only has a fixed rubber bumper.
For sizing flexibility, the next size down is the 25mm bore (245N push @0.5 MPa), and the next size up is the 40mm bore (628N push @0.5 MPa). At 1100mm, this 12mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; always use the CA clevis to allow arcing movement or add an external guide rail. A plain cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost, so add a pilot-operated check valve for safety.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X1100CA (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 MBL32X1100CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X1100CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X1100CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X1100CA, offering the same 32mm bore, 1100mm stroke, CA pivot, and G1/8 port. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
The 32mm bore uses a G1/8 port and a 12mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 563N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
