This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X210SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X210SCA 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 MAL32X210SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X210SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 210mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X210SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X210SCA
The AirTAC MAL32X210SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 210mm stroke. It delivers 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5MPa, making it a robust choice for mid-range actuation. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL32X210SCA, a true drop-in alternative retaining the exact same bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing, which paired with the older CS1-M or DS1-M switches on the MAL. When upgrading to the MBL, you must update to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. Additionally, the original MAL utilized threaded front and back covers on the barrel, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body for enhanced structural integrity. The 12mm carbon-steel rod features a 20um hard-chrome plating, and the piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long-term lubrication.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X210SCA 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 MBL32X210SCA 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 MAL32X210SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Shifts a yarn guide carriage across a 210mm path; the 402N thrust at 0.5MPa easily overcomes guide friction while the CA pivot absorbs lateral deck movement.
Pallet Diverter Arm
Extends a deflecting arm to push lightweight wood pallets onto a side lane, utilizing the 563N push force at 0.7MPa for positive engagement.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds secondary corrugated flaps on a packaging line, where the compact 32mm body fits within tight machine guards and the bumper absorbs the folding impact.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X210SCA with MBL32X210SCA
To replace the MAL32X210SCA, order the MBL32X210SCA, confirming the 32mm bore, 210mm stroke, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover are retained. If your application requires less force, step down to the 25mm bore (245N push at 0.5MPa); if you need more power, step up to the 40mm bore (628N push at 0.5MPa). Because this is a 210mm stroke, the 12mm rod has limited side-load tolerance; use the CA pivot bracket to accommodate arcing loads, or add an external guide rail to prevent rod bending. Note that the fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts but does not lock the load—if air pressure drops, the rod will drift. For adjustable air cushioning, specify the MBLC series instead of the standard MBL.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X210SCA (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 MBL32X210SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X210SCA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X210SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X210SCA, which matches the 32mm bore, 210mm stroke, CA pivot mounting, and G1/8 port. You will need to update your sensors, as the -S magnet on the MAL works with CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
At 0.5MPa, the MAL32X210SCA provides 402N of push force and 346N of pull force. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 563N. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. It operates at speeds between 30-800mm/s within a pressure range of 0.1-1.0MPa.
