This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X110CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X110CA 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 MAL32X110CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 110mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X110CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110CA
The AirTAC MAL32X110CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 346 N at 0.5 MPa, operating via a 12 mm carbon-steel rod with a 20 um hard-chrome plating. Its front-cover bearing guide is self-lubricating, and the piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long service life. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X110CA, which matches the 32 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy unit features a CA pivot back cover, designed to swing on a pin to accommodate arcing loads. Because this SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot support a position sensor. Additionally, the MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper at the end of stroke rather than an adjustable cushion. The modern MBL successor upgrades the body from threaded front and back covers to a riveted rolling-packed assembly, retaining identical output ratings.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X110CA 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 MBL32X110CA 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 MAL32X110CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guiding
Provides 402 N of push force to tension and guide fabric webs through textile machinery, where the CA pivot bracket absorbs misalignment during the 110 mm travel.
Packaging Diverter Arm
Swings a routing gate on a packaging line to sort cartons, using the 346 N pull force and the 110 mm stroke to clear the conveyor lane quickly.
Pallet Chain Ejector
Pushes completed pallet loads off an assembly cell, relying on the self-lubricating bearing to handle high cycle counts without external grease.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110CA with MBL32X110CA
To replace the MAL32X110CA, order the MBL32X110CA. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, PT tapered port thread, and the CA pivot back cover are correct for your clevis mounting. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; if you require end-of-stroke detection, step up to an MBL32X110SCA, which uses the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M sensors. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts but does not lock the rod; if you need to hold a load vertically when air is lost, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For adjustable air cushioning, look at the MBLC line.
If you need to adjust the force, the next size down is the 25 mm bore, which provides 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The next size up is the 40 mm bore, delivering 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Because the 110 mm stroke is substantial for the 12 mm rod, use an external guide rail to prevent side-load bending and premature seal wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X110CA (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 MBL32X110CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X110CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X110CA, which offers the same 32 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL upgrades the body from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed design while keeping the same output force.
The 32 mm bore uses a G1/8 port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 thread. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402 N push and 346 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it delivers 563 N push. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
