This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X140CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X140CM 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 MAL32X140CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X140CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 140mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X140CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X140CM
The AirTAC MAL32X140CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 140mm stroke. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X140CM, matching the force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover. You can order the MBL to keep your equipment running without mechanical modifications.
This legacy model features a fixed rubber bumper and a Ø12mm carbon-steel rod with 20μm hard chrome plating. The original MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long-term lubrication.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X140CM 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 MBL32X140CM 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 MAL32X140CM Is Used
Bottle Capping Diverters
Ideal for routing plastic bottles on packaging lines where 402N push at 0.5MPa reliably deflects containers into secondary labeling lanes.
PCB Router Gates
The 140mm stroke provides the exact travel needed to open safety gates on printed circuit board routing machines during tool changes.
Textile Bobbin Ejectors
Delivers 346N pull force to extract full yarn bobbins from spinning mandrels in compact weaving machinery without requiring ISO 15552 spacing.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X140CM with MBL32X140CM
To replace the MAL32X140CM, order the MBL32X140CM. Verify your 32mm bore, 140mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT tapered thread. The CM round-end back cover must be retained for your mounting interface. If you need to adjust force, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push at 0.5MPa. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, you cannot mount a sensor; if you need position detection, order the MBL32X140CMS and migrate to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
At 140mm stroke, the 12mm rod is vulnerable to side-load bending. Use a CM round-end joint or an external guide rail to prevent seal damage. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts but does not lock the load; if power fails, the rod drifts, so add an external pilot-operated check valve for position holding. For adjustable air cushioning, step up to the MBLC series.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X140CM (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 MBL32X140CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X140CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X140CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X140CM, which matches the 32mm bore, 140mm stroke, 402N push force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover. The MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the old threaded covers.
The 32mm bore generates 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa, 563N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. The port size is G1/8, the rod is Ø12mm with an M10x1.25 thread, and it operates at 30-800mm/s.
