This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X200-CA-H — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X200-CA-H 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-H
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-CA-H 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-H, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-CA-H
The AirTAC MAL32X200-CA-H is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Built for compact spaces, it features a 32 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, and a G1/8 port. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X200-CA-H, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, and mounting hardware.
This legacy unit features a CA pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL utilizes a threaded front and back cover assembly, whereas the modern MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body for equivalent structural integrity. The internal piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, gliding on a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X200-CA-H 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-H 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-H Is Used
Pouch Packaging Flap Folding
Swings a mechanical flap to fold packaging film on a vertical form-fill-seal machine, using the 402 N push force to crease heavy laminated pouches.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Pivots a yarn guide bar on a weaving loom, absorbing arcing movement via the CA clevis while maintaining consistent thread tension during high-speed operation.
PCB Conveyor Diverter
Pushes populated circuit boards from one belt lane to another at 200 mm stroke, fitting within the tight 32 mm bore envelope of electronics assembly lines.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-CA-H with MBL32X200-CA-H
To replace this MAL32X200-CA-H, order the MBL32X200-CA-H. Confirm your 32 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread form, and CA pivot back cover are correct. Because this SKU has no magnet, you cannot mount a sensor; if you need position detection, order an MBL32X200S-CA and upgrade to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch family. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts, but if your application requires adjustable cushioning, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
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 push at 0.5 MPa. With a 200 mm stroke driven by a 12 mm rod, side-load tolerance is low; use the CA clevis to absorb arcing loads or add an external guide to prevent rod bending. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X200-CA-H (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-H instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-CA-H FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X200-CA-H is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X200-CA-H, offering the same 32 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design rather than threaded covers.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull force; at 0.7 MPa it provides 563 N push, with a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept CS1-M or DS1-M position sensors.
