This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X300-CA-H — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X300-CA-H 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 MAL32X300-CA-H
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X300-CA-H is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 300mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X300-CA-H, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X300-CA-H
The AirTAC MAL32X300-CA-H is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 300 mm stroke, delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X300-CA-H, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. This legacy SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot support position sensing without physical modification.
The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body for streamlined assembly. Internally, a heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease, and a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide supports the 12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard-chrome plating. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X300-CA-H 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 MBL32X300-CA-H 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 MAL32X300-CA-H Is Used
Textile Loom Tensioning
Drives a 300 mm travel guide arm on a weaving machine, using the 402 N push force to maintain fabric tension while the CA pivot absorbs lateral arc sway.
Packaging Diverter Gate
Extends a routing flap on a packaging conveyor, where the 346 N pull force retracts the gate clear of passing cartons at cycle speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Warehouse Vertical Pusher
Ejects totes from a low-profile storage rack, relying on the compact 32 mm body to fit tight vertical clearances while moving loads within the 82 kgf maximum limit.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X300-CA-H with MBL32X300-CA-H
To replace this MAL with the MBL32X300-CA-H, verify the 32 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread form. The CA pivot back cover is essential here, as it swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads—critical for a 300 mm stroke where side-loading can bend the 12 mm rod. If your application requires end-of-stroke deceleration beyond the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC variant for adjustable air cushioning. If sizing down, the 25 mm bore offers 245 N push at 0.5 MPa; if stepping up, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. Note that this non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; if you need position detection, order the MBL32X300S-CA-H, which uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M. A plain bumper does not hold the load when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for vertical safety.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X300-CA-H (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 MBL32X300-CA-H instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X300-CA-H FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X300-CA-H is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X300-CA-H, matching the 32 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design. Because this specific legacy SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept position sensors.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 346 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s, operating pressure is 0.1-1.0 MPa, and it uses a fixed rubber bumper.
