This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X110SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X110SCM 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 MAL32X110SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110SCM 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 MBL32X110SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110SCM
The AirTAC MAL32X110SCM is a discontinued double-acting compact aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa through a 32 mm bore and 110 mm stroke. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL32X110SCM, a true drop-in upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port and CM round-end mounting. You simply order the MBL equivalent for your existing fixture.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing; the older MAL unit works with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, but the MBL replacement requires the modern CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensor family. The original MAL features threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL body uses a riveted rolling-packed construction. Internally, a heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease while the self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide supports the Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard chrome plating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X110SCM 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 MBL32X110SCM 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 MAL32X110SCM Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Drives a 402 N push stroke on a printed circuit board mechanical routing spindle, using the 110 mm travel to clear the deck for panel unloading.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds corrugated packaging flaps on a continuous flow wrapper, relying on the 346 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to retract the CM round-end pivot arm clear of the product.
Diagnostic Carousel Indexer
Advances a sample carousel using the 110 mm stroke, where the -S magnet triggers a DS1-M switch to confirm the rotor locked into the reagent probe position.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110SCM with MBL32X110SCM
To replace the MAL32X110SCM, order the MBL32X110SCM. Confirm your 32 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CM round-end back cover, and the -S magnet. Because the -S magnet is present, plan to upgrade your CS1-M or DS1-M sensors to the CMSG, DMSG or EMSG family used on the MBL. If you need an adjustable air cushion instead of the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. A plain MBL does not hold its load when air is lost; the rod drifts and the bumper only softens the end of stroke. For suspended loads, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. At 110 mm of stroke, the small Ø12 mm rod has low side-load tolerance, so keep the load axially aligned or use an external guide rail.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X110SCM (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 MBL32X110SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110SCM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X110SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X110SCM, which matches the 32 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, G1/8 port, CM round-end back cover and force ratings. You must upgrade your sensors because the MBL uses CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M models.
The 32 mm bore provides 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 0.1-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
