This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X110U — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X110U 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 MAL32X110U
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110U 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 MBL32X110U, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110U
The AirTAC MAL32X110U is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 110mm stroke. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa, using a G1/8 port and a Ø12mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard chrome plating. This U variant has a flat-end back cover for rigid mounting. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X110U, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and mounting.
This legacy unit relies on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping, not an adjustable cushion. It also lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. If adjustable air cushioning is required, the current MBLC line is recommended.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X110U 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 MBL32X110U 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 MAL32X110U Is Used
PCB Router Gantry Pusher
Deploys a 402N push at 0.5MPa to drive a cutting head across a PCB routing gantry, using the 110mm stroke to clear the fixture before retraction.
Carton Flap Folder
Actuates a folding arm on a small packaging line, where the flat-end U cover provides rigid alignment and the 346N pull retracts the arm quickly.
Vial Sorting Diverter
Pushes a diverter gate to route vials into a sorting lane, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the 110mm stroke impact without needing a cushion.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110U with MBL32X110U
To replace the MAL32X110U, order the MBL32X110U. Confirm the 32mm bore, 110mm stroke, G1/8 port, and the U flat-end back cover. Because this SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot support a position sensor. If you need end-of-stroke damping beyond the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC for adjustable air cushioning. The rod does not hold its load when air is lost; use an external rod lock for position holding.
For sizing, the next size down is the 25mm bore, giving 245N push at 0.5MPa. The next size up is the 40mm bore, yielding 628N push at 0.5MPa. Since the 110mm stroke is over 100mm, the small 12mm rod has low side-load tolerance. Use a pivot mount or external guide to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X110U (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 MBL32X110U instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X110U FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X110U is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X110U, which matches the 32mm bore, 110mm stroke, force, G1/8 port, and U flat-end mounting. The MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the threaded covers on the MAL.
The MAL32X110U delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa, 563N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor like the CS1-M or DS1-M switches.
