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).
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X195CA

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X195CA
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.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X195CA 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 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.

Where the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X195CA Is Used
Bottling Line Diverter
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.
Textile Loom Tensioner
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.
Carton Flap Folder
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.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X195CA with MBL32X195CA
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
- ✓ Order the MBL32X195CA (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 MBL32X195CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X195CA FAQ
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.
