This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X110SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X110SU 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 MAL32X110SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110SU 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 MBL32X110SU, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110SU
The AirTAC MAL32X110SU is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 110mm stroke. It delivers 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5MPa, peaking at an 82kgf maximum at 1.0MPa. Because this legacy series is end-of-life, AirTAC mandates the MBL32X110SU as the exact drop-in replacement, preserving the original G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and U flat-end back cover for a seamless retrofit.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing and a rigid U flat-end rear cover. On the legacy MAL, the -S magnet interfaces with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, whereas the modern MBL replacement upgrades to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families. The original MAL body utilizes threaded front and back covers on the barrel, while the newer MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both generations rely on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X110SU 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 MBL32X110SU 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 MAL32X110SU Is Used
PCB Conveyor Diverter
Pushing populated PCB panels laterally between conveyor lanes using 402N of thrust at 0.5MPa within compact machinery frames.
Pick-and-Place Ejector
Ejecting small electronic components from test sockets with a 110mm stroke, relying on the built-in magnet for end-position confirmation.
Carton Flap Folder
Folding lightweight cardboard flaps on small packaging lines where the 346N pull force at 0.5MPa easily overcomes minor cardboard resistance.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110SU with MBL32X110SU
To replace the MAL32X110SU, order the MBL32X110SU and verify the 32mm bore, 110mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U flat-end back cover. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, note that your existing CS1-M or DS1-M sensors will not fit the MBL; you must upgrade to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. If your application requires adjustable end-cushioning rather than the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC32 variant on the current line. The plain bumper is not a locking mechanism, so the rod will drift if air pressure is lost—add an external pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to a 25mm bore reduces the push force to 245N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a 40mm bore increases it to 628N at 0.5MPa. With a 110mm stroke, the 12mm carbon-steel rod has limited side-load tolerance; ensure your mounting resists lateral forces. The self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide and the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal help manage friction, but external guidance is recommended if the load is not perfectly axial.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X110SU (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 MBL32X110SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110SU FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X110SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X110SU, which matches the 32mm bore, 110mm stroke, 82kgf max force, G1/8 port, and U flat-end mounting. You will need to update your position sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M reeds.
At 0.5MPa, the 32mm bore provides 402N push and 346N pull force. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 563N. The theoretical maximum force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. It uses a G1/8 port, a 12mm carbon-steel rod with M10x1.25 thread, and operates at 30-800mm/s.
