This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X225-S-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X225-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 MAL32X225-S-CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X225-S-CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 225mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X225-S-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X225-S-CM
The AirTAC MAL32X225-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa, operating on a G1/8 port with a 12mm carbon-steel rod. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X225-S-CM, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and CM round-end back cover for a seamless swap.
This legacy unit features a built-in -S magnet for position sensing, which pairs with the older CS1-M or DS1-M switches. When upgrading to the MBL replacement, you must switch to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. Unlike the threaded covers on this MAL body, the modern MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body, and the original fixed rubber bumper remains non-adjustable.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X225-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 | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The MBL32X225-S-CM 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 MAL32X225-S-CM Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router Gate
Actuates a routing machine safety gate using the 402N push force at 0.5MPa, with the CM round-end pivoting smoothly to clear the 225mm stroke path.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds small packaging flaps on a conveyor line, where the 346N pull force easily retracts the 12mm rod against the carton material resistance.
Lab Sample Tray Diverter
Pushes sample trays into a testing carousel, relying on the -S magnet and DS1-M switch to confirm the 225mm extension before the analyzer starts.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X225-S-CM with MBL32X225-S-CM
To replace the MAL32X225-S-CM, order the MBL32X225-S-CM. Verify your 32mm bore, 225mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT tapered thread. The CM round-end back cover must be retained for your specific pivot or clevis mounting. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, plan to upgrade your existing CS1-M or DS1-M sensors to the MBL-compatible CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
If you need to adjust the force, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push. At 225mm of stroke, the 12mm rod has low side-load tolerance; use an external guide rail or a pivot mount to prevent rod bending. This cylinder does not hold its position when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for vertical loads. If you need end-of-stroke deceleration, the fixed rubber bumper is insufficient—step up to the current MBLC line for an adjustable air cushion.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X225-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 MBL32X225-S-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X225-S-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X225-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X225-S-CM, which matches the 32mm bore, 225mm stroke, G1/8 port, CM round-end cover, and -S magnet. You will need to update your sensors from the older CS1-M/DS1-M to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
The 32mm bore delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa, 563N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. It operates at 0.1-1.0MPa with a speed range of 30-800mm/s.
