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

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-S-CM
The AirTAC MAL32X200-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 32 mm bore and a 200 mm stroke. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X200-S-CM, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and mounting footprint exactly.
This legacy unit features a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing and a CM round-end back cover. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the -S magnet on this discontinued model interfaces with the older CS1-M and DS1-M switches, while the MBL successor is designed for the current CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor families.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X200-S-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 | — |

Where the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-S-CM Is Used
PCB Sorting Diverter
Actuates a routing gate on a PCB assembly line, using the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa to deflect boards into testing lanes.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds minor flaps on small packaging cartons, where the 346 N pull force at 0.5 MPa reliably retracts the folding arm.
Textile Tension Guide
Pivots a yarn tensioning bar using the CM round-end back cover, accommodating slight arcing motion during high-speed weaving.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-S-CM with MBL32X200-S-CM
To replace the MAL32X200-S-CM, order the MBL32X200-S-CM. Confirm your 32 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread form. You must also select the CM round-end back cover and verify your mounting accessory. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, plan to upgrade your sensors from the legacy CS1-M or DS1-M to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches used on the MBL. If your application requires an adjustable air cushion instead of the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC series.
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. Because the stroke is 200 mm, the 12 mm carbon-steel rod has limited side-load tolerance; use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending. A plain bumper softens end-of-stroke impact but does not hold the load if air pressure drops, so add an external rod lock for position holding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X200-S-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-S-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200-S-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL series is end-of-life. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X200-S-CM, which provides identical bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and mounting compatibility. You will need to update your position sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M.
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.
