This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X125CASDB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X125CASDB 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 MAL32X125CASDB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X125CASDB is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X125CASDB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X125CASDB
The AirTAC MAL32X125CASDB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 32mm bore and 125mm stroke. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X125CASDB, matching the force, G1/8 port, and SDB mounting. This legacy unit uses a CA pivot back cover and a fixed rubber bumper.
Because this SKU lacks an S designation, it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL features threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Internally, a heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease, and the carbon-steel rod has 20um hard-chrome plating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X125CASDB 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 MBL32X125CASDB 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 MAL32X125CASDB Is Used
Bottling Line Diverter
Uses the 402N push force at 0.5 MPa to swing a diverter gate on a packaging conveyor, with the CA pivot absorbing the arcing motion.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Moves a yarn tensioning jig through a 125mm stroke; the SDB pivot bracket accommodates minor misalignments during high-speed operation.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds cardboard flaps on a case packer; the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the end-of-stroke impact without requiring external adjustment.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X125CASDB with MBL32X125CASDB
To replace the MAL32X125CASDB, order the MBL32X125CASDB. Confirm the 32mm bore, 125mm stroke, PT thread, G1/8 port, CA pivot back cover, and SDB pivot bracket. If you need a sensor, the MBL upgrade requires CMSG or DMSG switches, as this legacy SKU has no magnet and cannot take one. If you need an adjustable air cushion, step up to the MBLC line.
For sizing, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold a load when air is lost; the rod drifts. At 125mm stroke, the 12mm rod handles side loads well, but for arcing motion, the CA clevis and SDB bracket are essential.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X125CASDB (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 MBL32X125CASDB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X125CASDB FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X125CASDB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X125CASDB, offering the same 32mm bore, 125mm stroke, force, G1/8 port, and SDB mounting. The modern MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers.
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 402N push and 346N pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 0.1-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
