This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X190SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X190SCA 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 MAL32X190SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X190SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 190mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X190SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X190SCA
The AirTAC MAL32X190SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 190mm stroke. It delivers 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X190SCA, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting for a seamless swap.
This legacy SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection and a CA pivot back cover. The older MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the -S magnet on this MAL works with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement requires the newer CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X190SCA 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 MBL32X190SCA 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 MAL32X190SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Beam Indexing
Uses the 402N push at 0.5 MPa and CA pivot to swing and advance heavy fabric beams through a dyeing machine without binding.
Packaging Lane Diverter
Sorts cartons by swinging a guide arm; the 190mm stroke provides enough travel to open the lane while the bumper absorbs rod impacts.
PCB Conveyor Gripper
Actuates an electronic component gripper where the -S magnet triggers a DS1-M sensor to verify board pickup over 190mm.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X190SCA with MBL32X190SCA
To replace the MAL32X190SCA, order the MBL32X190SCA. Confirm your 32mm bore, 190mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread. You must also account for the CA pivot back cover, which swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, note that your existing CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches will not fit the MBL; you must upgrade to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper, so if your application now needs an adjustable air cushion, step up to the current MBLC variant.
When sizing, check the neighboring bores to ensure 402N push at 0.5 MPa is correct for your load. Stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push. Since the 190mm stroke exceeds 300mm, the 12mm rod has low side-load tolerance; use an external guide rail or rely on the CA pivot to prevent rod bending. A plain MBL cannot hold a load if air pressure drops, so add an external rod lock for vertical safety.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X190SCA (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 MBL32X190SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X190SCA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X190SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X190SCA, offering the same 32mm bore, 190mm stroke, CA pivot, and G1/8 port. You must update your sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
The 32mm bore uses a G1/8 port and a 12mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 563N, and the maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
