This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X200-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X200-CA 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 MAL32X200-CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 200mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X200-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-CA
The AirTAC MAL32X200-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder, delivering a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 346 N at 0.5 MPa. It features a 32 mm bore, a 200 mm stroke, and a G1/8 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL32X200-CA, a drop-in upgrade retaining the exact same bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CA pivot mounting.
This SKU includes a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads, which is critical for a 200 mm stroke. Because this specific model lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a position sensor. The legacy MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both designs rely on a fixed rubber bumper, meaning the rod will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X200-CA 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 MBL32X200-CA 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 MAL32X200-CA Is Used
Pallet Transfer Gate
Uses the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa to divert small pallets along a 200 mm stroke conveyor lane without overwhelming the lightweight aluminum frame.
Textile Loom Guide
Leverages the CA pivot mounting to swing a thread guide arm through a 200 mm arc, absorbing lateral movement during high-speed weaving operations.
PCB Component Pusher
Shifts populated circuit boards into testing fixtures with 346 N of pull force, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to prevent impact damage to delicate solder joints.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-CA with MBL32X200-CA
To replace the discontinued MAL32X200-CA, order the MBL32X200-CA. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and default PT tapered thread. The CA pivot back cover is essential for arcing movements; ensure your clevis pin matches. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, no sensor can be mounted. If you need position detection, order the MBL32X200-S-CA and upgrade to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, as the older CS1-M and DS1-M sensors are obsolete.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25 mm bore reduces the push force to 245 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore increases it to 628 N. At 200 mm of travel, the 12 mm rod has limited side-load tolerance; use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts, but if your load requires adjustable air cushioning, specify the MBLC32X200-CA on the current line. Remember that a standard bumper does not lock the rod, so add an external rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X200-CA (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 MBL32X200-CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X200-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X200-CA, which matches the 32 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the older threaded covers.
The MAL32X200-CA delivers 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, it cannot accept a position sensor; the -S version requires CS1-M or DS1-M switches.
