This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X325SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X325SCM 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 MAL32X325SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X325SCM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 325mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X325SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X325SCM
The AirTAC MAL32X325SCM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, operating via a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard-chrome plating. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X325SCM, matching the 32 mm bore, 325 mm stroke, G1/8 port, CM round-end cover, magnet, and 82 kgf maximum force. You just order the MBL equivalent for a seamless physical swap.
This legacy SKU features a built-in -S magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M sensors, whereas the MBL upgrade uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The original MAL body utilizes threaded front and back covers, while the modern MBL employs a riveted rolling-packed body. A heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease, and a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide ensures smooth travel across the 325 mm distance.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X325SCM 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 MBL32X325SCM 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 MAL32X325SCM Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Actuates a cutting blade carriage across a 325 mm travel path, utilizing the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa to cleanly shear routed circuit boards.
Bottling Line Diverter
Pushes glass containers from a main conveyor to a labeling station, relying on the CM round-end cover to accommodate slight angular misalignment during the transfer.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds secondary packaging flaps on a continuous motion cartoner, with the fixed rubber bumper absorbing the kinetic energy at the end of the 325 mm extension.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X325SCM with MBL32X325SCM
To replace the MAL32X325SCM, order the MBL32X325SCM. Confirm your 32 mm bore, 325 mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, and the CM round-end back cover. Because this unit includes the -S magnet, you must update your sensing setup: the older CS1-M and DS1-M switches are retired, so plan to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the MBL body. If you need to step down force, the 25 mm neighbor provides 245 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more power, the 40 mm bore yields 628 N. Both alternatives share the 325 mm stroke.
With a 325 mm stroke, the Ø12 mm rod is vulnerable to bending under side loads, so use a CM round-end pivot or an external guide to prevent premature seal wear. The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion; if end-of-stroke impact is an issue, step up to the current MBLC. Finally, a plain cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure drops, so install a pilot-operated check valve or external rod lock for suspended masses.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X325SCM (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 MBL32X325SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X325SCM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X325SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X325SCM, which matches the 32 mm bore, 325 mm stroke, G1/8 port, CM round-end cover, and magnet. The MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the threaded covers on the MAL, but maintains the same mounting and force ratings.
The bore 32 cylinder provides 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, it works with the older CS1-M and DS1-M switches; when you switch to the MBL replacement, you must use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
