This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X150-S-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X150-S-CM 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 MAL32X150-S-CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X150-S-CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X150-S-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X150-S-CM
The AirTAC MAL32X150-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for compact spaces. Delivering 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it features a 32 mm bore, a 150 mm stroke, and a G1/8 port. This legacy unit utilizes a carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard chrome plating and a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for prolonged operational life.
AirTAC replaced this EOL model with the MBL32X150-S-CM, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CM round-end mounting. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL employs a riveted rolling-packed body. Furthermore, the -S magnet on this MAL pairs with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement transitions to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X150-S-CM 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 MBL32X150-S-CM 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 MAL32X150-S-CM Is Used
Packaging Line Diverter
With 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder reliably pushes cartons onto secondary packaging lanes within tight conveyor transfer zones.
Textile Yarn Guide
The 150 mm stroke moves yarn guides across weaving looms, while the CM round-end allows the slight pivot needed to prevent rod binding.
Small Part Ejector
Ejects molded plastic parts from tight fixture cavities, utilizing the self-lubricating front-cover bearing to maintain smooth retraction.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X150-S-CM with MBL32X150-S-CM
To replace the MAL32X150-S-CM, order the MBL32X150-S-CM. Confirm your 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT tapered thread form are correct. The CM round-end back cover provides a pivot point that accommodates slight arcing rod paths, which is highly recommended given the 150 mm stroke and 12 mm rod diameter. If you need to adjust force, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push. Remember that the fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact but is not an adjustable cushion; for shock absorption, consider the current MBLC line. Additionally, this cylinder will not hold its load if air pressure is lost, requiring an external rod lock for vertical applications.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X150-S-CM (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 MBL32X150-S-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X150-S-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X150-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X150-S-CM, which matches the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting. The new MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, and its -S magnet requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M sensors.
The 32 mm bore utilizes a G1/8 port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. At 0.5 MPa, it generates 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
