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

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-CM
The AirTAC MAL32X200-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 200mm stroke. It delivers 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5MPa, peaking at 82kgf at 1.0MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X200-CM, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting exactly. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor.
Structurally, the legacy MAL uses threaded front and back covers on the barrel, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. The cylinder relies on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping, not an adjustable cushion. A heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease on the carbon-steel rod, which is plated with 20um hard chrome for wear resistance.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X200-CM 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-CM 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-CM Is Used
Pallet Transfer Gate
With 402N push at 0.5MPa, this 32mm bore cylinder drives a diverting gate arm on a 200mm stroke to reroute 400mm pallets on a packaging conveyor line.
PCB Edge Router Lift
The 200mm stroke lowers a pneumatic edge router into a PCB processing station, using the 346N pull force at 0.5MPa to retract the spindle safely out of the work zone.
Carton Flap Folder
A 32mm round-body actuator folds top major flaps on medium corrugated cartons, where the 82kgf maximum force handles board resistance without stalling.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-CM with MBL32X200-CM
To replace the MAL32X200-CM, order the MBL32X200-CM. Confirm the 32mm bore, 200mm stroke, PT port thread, and CM round-end back cover are retained. Since this configuration has no -S magnet, no sensor is required or possible. If you ever need position feedback later, you must switch to an MBL32X200S-CM and update your switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family, as the older CS1-M/DS1-M sensors are phased out.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push at 0.5MPa. At 200mm stroke, the 12mm rod is vulnerable to side-load bending; use the CM round-end pivot to accommodate arcing loads. Note that the fixed bumper softens impact but does not lock the rod—air loss means drift. If true end-of-stroke cushioning is required, specify the MBLC variant instead.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X200-CM (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-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-CM FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC MAL32X200-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X200-CM, which matches the 32mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/8 port, 12mm rod, and CM round-end mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design but retains the same output force.
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 402N and the pull force is 346N. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 563N. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot support a position sensor.
