This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X210SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X210SU 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 MAL32X210SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X210SU 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 MBL32X210SU, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X210SU
The AirTAC MAL32X210SU is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 210mm stroke. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X210SU, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and flat-end mounting. You simply order the MBL equivalent for a seamless retrofit.
This legacy SKU includes a U flat-end back cover for rigid mounting and an S magnet for position sensing. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the MAL -S magnet pairs with older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL upgrade requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The unit relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion, and its 12mm carbon-steel rod has a 20um hard-chrome plating with a grease-retaining two-way seal.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X210SU 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 MBL32X210SU 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 MAL32X210SU Is Used
PCB Conveyor Diverter
Pushes lightweight PCB trays laterally on a 210mm stroke using 402N of force at 0.5MPa, fitting tight machinery frames.
Chip Tray Ejector
Ejects empty silicon wafer carriers from a test station with 346N pull force, using the U flat-end cover for a rigid, square mount.
Carton Flap Plow
Folds small cardboard flaps on a packaging line where the 32mm bore provides enough thrust without consuming excessive space.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X210SU with MBL32X210SU
To replace the MAL32X210SU, order the MBL32X210SU. Verify your 32mm bore, 210mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread form. The U flat-end back cover provides rigid alignment, so ensure your mounting surface is square. Because this SKU includes an S magnet, you must update your sensing setup: the older CS1-M and DS1-M switches are retired, and the MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper; if your application needs adjustable end-of-stroke cushioning, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
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. With a 210mm stroke, the 12mm rod has limited side-load tolerance; use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending. A plain cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost—the rod will drift—so add an external pilot-operated check valve if position holding is required.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X210SU (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 MBL32X210SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X210SU FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X210SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X210SU. It offers the same 32mm bore, 210mm stroke, 82kgf max force, G1/8 port, and U flat-end mounting. You can swap them directly without altering your machine layout.
At 0.5MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull; at 0.7MPa it provides 563N push, with a maximum theoretical force of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. The -S magnet on this MAL works with CS1-M and DS1-M switches. When upgrading to the MBL32X210SU, you must switch to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
