This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X125CMLB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X125CMLB 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 MAL32X125CMLB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X125CMLB 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 MBL32X125CMLB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X125CMLB
The AirTAC MAL32X125CMLB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 125mm stroke. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X125CMLB, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and LB foot mounting. This CM round-end configuration with a PT threaded port is built for compact spaces.
This legacy unit features a fixed rubber bumper and a carbon-steel rod with a 20um hard-chrome plating. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The newer MBL32X125CMLB upgrades the body from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed construction for equal durability.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X125CMLB 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 MBL32X125CMLB 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 MAL32X125CMLB Is Used
Bottle Capping Diverter
Sorts capped glass bottles on a tight 125mm stroke using 402N of push force, mounted via LB foot brackets on the conveyor frame.
PCB Edge Guide Ejector
Pushes freshly routed circuit boards out of the routing machine with 346N pull force, relying on the CM round-end for slight alignment give.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds secondary cardboard flaps on a compact packaging line, using the 563N force at 0.7MPa to overcome light cardboard resistance.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X125CMLB with MBL32X125CMLB
To replace the MAL32X125CMLB, order the MBL32X125CMLB. Verify your 32mm bore, 125mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CM round-end back cover, and LB foot mounting accessory. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, no sensor is needed; if you ever add one, the MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the old CS1-M/DS1-M. The fixed rubber bumper is not an adjustable cushion; order an MBLC if you need adjustable air cushioning.
For sizing flexibility, the next size down is the 25mm bore (245N push at 0.5MPa) and the next size up is the 40mm bore (628N push at 0.5MPa). A plain cylinder does not hold a load when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for safety. At 125mm stroke, the 12mm rod handles moderate extension, but external guides help manage side-load stress.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X125CMLB (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 MBL32X125CMLB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X125CMLB FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X125CMLB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X125CMLB. It matches the 32mm bore, 125mm stroke, force, G1/8 port, CM round-end, and LB mounting. The newer MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers.
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 402N and the pull force is 346N. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 563N, with a maximum theoretical force of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor.
