This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X110SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X110SCA 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 MAL32X110SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110SCA 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 MBL32X110SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110SCA
The AirTAC MAL32X110SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 110mm stroke. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull force at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X110SCA, matching the same bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting for a seamless retrofit.
This legacy unit features a fixed rubber bumper and a carbon-steel rod with 20um hard chrome plating. Unlike the older MAL with its threaded front and back covers, the modern MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Furthermore, the -S magnet on this MAL works with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, whereas upgrading to the MBL requires the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X110SCA 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 MBL32X110SCA 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 MAL32X110SCA Is Used
Bottling Line Diverter
Uses the 402N push force at 0.5MPa to deflect plastic bottles on a packaging conveyor, with the CA pivot absorbing slight misalignment during the 110mm stroke.
PCB Edge Gate
Actuates a gating mechanism on a PCB assembly line, where the 32mm bore provides enough force to hold boards without crushing fragile components.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds minor flaps on small cartons in a tight-space packaging machine, relying on the compact aluminum body and 346N pull force to retract safely.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110SCA with MBL32X110SCA
To replace the MAL32X110SCA, order the MBL32X110SCA. Verify your 32mm bore, 110mm stroke, PT tapered port thread, and the CA pivot back cover, which swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, note that your old CS1-M or DS1-M sensors must change to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG family on the new MBL. If your application requires an adjustable air cushion instead of the standard fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push force at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push. Since the 110mm stroke is substantial, the 12mm rod has low side-load tolerance; use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending. A plain MBL does not hold its load when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for vertical positioning.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X110SCA (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 MBL32X110SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110SCA FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC MAL32X110SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X110SCA, offering the same 32mm bore, 110mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. You must upgrade your CS1-M or DS1-M sensors to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG family for the new MBL.
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 402N and the pull force is 346N. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 563N. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. It features a 12mm rod, an M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and a G1/8 port.
