This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X150CASDB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X150CASDB 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 MAL32X150CASDB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X150CASDB 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 MBL32X150CASDB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X150CASDB
The AirTAC MAL32X150CASDB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 150 mm stroke. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust mid-range actuator for compact machinery. AirTAC ended the MAL line and replaced this exact configuration with the MBL32X150CASDB, a drop-in upgrade retaining the same 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and SDB pivot mounting.
This legacy SKU features a CA pivot back cover and an SDB pivot bracket, allowing the cylinder to swing on a pin to absorb arcing trajectory loads. Unlike the older MAL which used threaded front and back covers on the barrel, the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body for enhanced structural integrity. Because this specific model lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot support position sensing. Furthermore, end-of-stroke energy relies on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion; if your application requires shock tuning, the current MBLC variant offers that feature.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X150CASDB 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 MBL32X150CASDB 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 MAL32X150CASDB Is Used
Textile Loom Weft Feeder
Drives the weft thread insertion guide on a compact textile loom, utilizing the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa to reliably push the yarn carrier through the shed.
Packaging Box Flap Folder
Folds the trailing cardboard flaps on a continuous motion packaging conveyor, where the CA pivot and SDB bracket absorb the angular side-load as the carton passes through.
Bottling Line Divert Gate
Actuates a diverter gate on a 32 mm bore bottling line, swinging the arm via the SDB pivot bracket to route glass containers into the labeling lane.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X150CASDB with MBL32X150CASDB
To replace the MAL32X150CASDB, order the MBL32X150CASDB. Verify that your setup accommodates the PT tapered port thread, the CA pivot clevis, and the SDB pivot bracket. If you need position sensing, you must step up to an MBL32X150CASDBS model, which accepts the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-M or DS1-M sensors. If your application needs adjustable end-cushioning rather than a fixed rubber bumper, look at the MBLC series. For sizing flexibility, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628 N push. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure is lost; the rod will drift, so use an external rod lock for vertical safety. At 150 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending; rely on the CA pivot and SDB bracket to articulate, or add an external guide rail to protect the rod seal.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X150CASDB (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 MBL32X150CASDB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X150CASDB FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X150CASDB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X150CASDB. It shares the identical 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, CA pivot back cover, and SDB mounting bracket. You simply swap the cylinder without altering your existing plumbing or mounting geometry.
The 32 mm bore generates 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept a position sensor; legacy -S versions used CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the modern MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
