This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X210SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X210SCM 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 MAL32X210SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X210SCM 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 MBL32X210SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X210SCM
The AirTAC MAL32X210SCM 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, operating on a G1/8 port with a Ø12mm carbon-steel rod. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X210SCM, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CM round-end back cover.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection and a CM round-end back cover. The legacy MAL uses threaded front and back covers on the barrel, whereas the modern MBL body uses a riveted rolling-packed construction. Additionally, the -S magnet on this MAL operates with the older CS1-M and DS1-M switches; upgrading to the MBL requires transitioning to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X210SCM 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 MBL32X210SCM 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 MAL32X210SCM Is Used
PCB Shuttle Divert
Pushes 210mm to divert bare circuit boards between inspection lanes using 402N at 0.5MPa without overwhelming delicate fiberglass substrates.
Connector Insertion
Drives a 32mm bore pin insertion head for automotive ECU connectors, using the CM round-end to accommodate slight chassis misalignment.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds lightweight corrugated carton flaps in compact end-of-line packaging machinery where the 346N pull force easily retracts the 12mm rod.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X210SCM with MBL32X210SCM
To replace the MAL32X210SCM, order the MBL32X210SCM and verify the PT thread, CM round-end back cover, and the magnet configuration. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you must update your sensing setup: the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M switches are replaced by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the MBL. If you need to adjust force, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 628N push. Remember that a plain MAL or MBL does not hold a load when air is lost; the fixed rubber bumper only softens the end of stroke and is not a lock. If an adjustable air cushion is required for deceleration, look to the current MBLC line, as the MAL lacks this feature. Because the 210mm stroke exceeds 300mm, the 12mm rod has low side-load tolerance; use an external guide rail or a pivot mount to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X210SCM (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 MBL32X210SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X210SCM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X210SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X210SCM, which matches the 32mm bore, 210mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover. You simply order the MBL equivalent, though you will need CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches.
The 32mm bore uses a G1/8 port and a Ø12mm rod. At 0.5MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull force. At 0.7MPa the push force is 563N, and the maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa.
