This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X300SUH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X300SUH 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 MAL32X300SUH
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X300SUH 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 MBL32X300SUH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X300SUH
The AirTAC MAL32X300SUH is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. It features a 32 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, and a G1/8 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL32X300SUH, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact same dimensions, output, and mounting interface.
This SKU includes a U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the -S magnet on this cylinder pairs with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, while the MBL replacement transitions to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X300SUH 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 MBL32X300SUH 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 MAL32X300SUH Is Used
Packaging Conveyor Diverter
Pushes lightweight cardboard cartons on a packaging line using 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, fitting into tight machinery gaps.
PCB Testing Fixture
Moves an electronics testing probe 300 mm to contact circuit boards, relying on the -S magnet and CS1-M switches to confirm the extended position.
Textile Loom Gate
Actuates a yarn tensioning gate on a weaving machine, where the compact 32 mm body and rigid U flat-end back cover mount securely to the frame.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X300SUH with MBL32X300SUH
To replace the MAL32X300SUH, order the MBL32X300SUH. Confirm your 32 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and U flat-end back cover. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, plan to upgrade your CS1-M or DS1-M switches to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors used on the MBL. If your application requires adjustable end-cushioning to absorb kinetic energy, step up to the MBLC variant, as the MAL only provides a fixed rubber bumper.
When sizing, verify if 32 mm is optimal. Stepping down to the 25 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245 N, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore increases it to 628 N. Because this unit has a 300 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod is susceptible to bending under lateral stress; use an external guide rail or a pivot mount to prevent side-load damage. Note that a plain bumper does not hold a load if air pressure drops; add an external rod lock for fail-safe positioning.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X300SUH (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 MBL32X300SUH instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X300SUH FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X300SUH is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X300SUH, which matches the 32 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U flat-end mounting. The MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers, and you must upgrade the -S magnet sensors from the older CS1-M or DS1-M to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 346 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder operates at 0.1-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
