This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X200CASDB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X200CASDB 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 MAL32X200CASDB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200CASDB 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 MBL32X200CASDB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200CASDB
The AirTAC MAL32X200CASDB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for compact spaces. It delivers a robust 402 N push and 346 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X200CASDB, matching the 32 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and SDB mounting exactly.
This legacy SKU features a CA pivot back cover paired with an SDB pivot bracket, allowing the body to swing on a pin to absorb arcing side-loads. Unlike the older MAL with threaded front and back covers, the modern MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body for equal strength. Note that this specific configuration lacks a -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept a position sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X200CASDB 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 MBL32X200CASDB 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 MAL32X200CASDB Is Used
Carton Flap Folding
Provides 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to reliably fold heavy cardboard flaps on continuous packaging lines without stalling.
Pallet Divert Arm
The CA pivot and SDB bracket allow the 200 mm stroke to smoothly swing a diverter arm across a conveyor belt while absorbing arcing motion.
Press Ejector Station
Kicks stamped metal pins out of a die fixture; the compact 32 mm body fits tight machine cells while delivering 346 N pull on retraction.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200CASDB with MBL32X200CASDB
To replace the MAL32X200CASDB, order the MBL32X200CASDB and verify your CA clevis pin and SDB bracket dimensions. The PT port thread is standard. If you need position sensing, you must step up to an MBL32X200SCASDB, which shifts you from the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family. If sizing down, the 25 mm bore offers 245 N push at 0.5 MPa; if sizing up, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. Remember that the fixed rubber bumper is not an adjustable cushion—order an MBLC for air cushioning. At 200 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod tolerates minimal side-load, so the CA pivot is essential to prevent rod bending. This cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost, so fit an external rod lock for position holding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X200CASDB (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 MBL32X200CASDB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X200CASDB FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X200CASDB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X200CASDB, offering identical bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and SDB mounting. The newer MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the older threaded covers.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402 N and pulls 346 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; adding a magnet to the MBL replacement requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
