This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X195CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X195CA 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).

The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X195CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 195mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X195CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL32X195CA is a discontinued, double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder built for compact spaces. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a 32 mm bore, a 195 mm stroke, and a G1/8 port. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X195CA, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CA mounting accessory.
This legacy SKU includes a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads, distinguishing it from rigid flat-end U models. Because this specific configuration lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support a position sensor. Furthermore, the original MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body for enhanced structural integrity.

| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The MBL32X195CA 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.

Pivots a guide rail via the CA clevis to deflect 500 ml bottles on a 30-800 mm/s conveyor, utilizing the 402 N push force to overcome friction without bending the 12 mm rod.
Swings a tensioning idler arm into a synthetic fiber loom, where the 346 N pull force at 0.5 MPa maintains precise yarn tension during the 195 mm retraction cycle.
Pushes a mechanical flap-folding arm on a packaging machine, using the compact 32 mm aluminum body to fit within tight transfer spaces while delivering 563 N at 0.7 MPa.
To replace the MAL32X195CA, order the MBL32X195CA. Verify the 32 mm bore, 195 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and default PT thread are retained. The CA pivot back cover is crucial for arcing loads and must be specified on the new MBL. Since this SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; if detection is needed, upgrade to an MBL32X195CAS and switch from the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
For sizing flexibility, 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. At 195 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod has limited side-load tolerance; rely on the CA pivot to absorb misalignment or add an external guide. Note that the fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact but does not lock the rod—if air pressure is lost, the load drifts. For adjustable cushioning, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL32X195CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X195CA, which matches the 32 mm bore, 195 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA mounting. The modern MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the original threaded covers, but ratings remain identical.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 346 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration, not an adjustable cushion; for adjustable cushioning, use the current MBLC line.
