This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X190SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X190SU 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 MAL32X190SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X190SU 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 MBL32X190SU, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X190SU
The AirTAC MAL32X190SU is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 190 mm stroke. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a G1/8 port and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X190SU, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, port size, and flat-end U back cover perfectly.
This legacy SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection and a rigid flat-end U back cover. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this unit lacks an adjustable cushion and only uses a fixed rubber bumper, heavy end-of-stroke impacts should be managed externally or by upgrading to the MBLC line.
The 12 mm carbon-steel rod is plated with 20 um of hard chrome and guided by a self-lubricating front-cover bearing. A heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease for long-term friction reduction. The -S magnet on this discontinued model interfaces with the older CS1-M and DS1-M sensor families, while the MBL32X190SU upgrade requires the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X190SU 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 MBL32X190SU 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 MAL32X190SU Is Used
PCB Conveyor Diverter
Pushes populated PCB panels onto secondary inspection lanes using 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, with the 190 mm stroke clearing adjacent belt rollers.
Bottle Capping Head
Drives threaded plastic caps onto bottles with a 346 N pull force, relying on the flat-end U cover for rigid vertical alignment.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds small cardboard shipping flaps in tight packaging machinery spaces where the 32 mm aluminum body fits without requiring ISO profile rails.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X190SU with MBL32X190SU
To replace the MAL32X190SU, order the MBL32X190SU and verify your existing plumbing matches the G1/8 port and default PT tapered thread. Retain your flat-end U back cover for rigid mounting, but note that the new MBL body uses a riveted rolling-packed construction instead of the original threaded covers. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you must also swap your legacy CS1-M or DS1-M sensors for the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch series.
If you need to adjust your force output, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. The 190 mm stroke on this 12 mm rod demands careful side-load management; use an external guide rail or a pivot bracket to prevent rod bending. Remember that the fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact but does not lock the rod—if you need to hold a load securely when air pressure drops, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. For adjustable end-cushioning, upgrade to the MBLC series.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X190SU (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 MBL32X190SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X190SU FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X190SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X190SU, which matches the 32 mm bore, 190 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and flat-end U back cover. The MBL upgrade uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers, and if you use the -S magnet, you must upgrade from the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
At 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore provides 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N, with a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact absorption; it does not have an adjustable cushion, so if you need adjustable air cushioning you must step up to the MBLC variant.
