This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X350-S-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X350-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 MAL32X350-S-CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X350-S-CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 350mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X350-S-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X350-S-CM
The AirTAC MAL32X350-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 350mm stroke. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa, utilizing a PT-threaded G1/8 port and a Ø12mm carbon-steel rod with 20µm hard chrome plating. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X350-S-CM, matching the force, port, and CM round-end mounting exactly.
This legacy SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection and a CM round-end back cover. The older MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. The -S magnet on this MAL works with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement transitions to current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. A fixed rubber bumper stops the stroke, and the piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long service life.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X350-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 MBL32X350-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 MAL32X350-S-CM Is Used
PCB Conveyor Gate
Actuates a lifting bypass gate on a printed circuit board conveyor, using the 350mm stroke to open a clear path for maintenance carts without stalling the main line.
Carton Flap Folder
Drives the side-flap folding arms on a continuous packaging conveyor, where 402N of push at 0.5MPa easily overcomes cardboard resistance and the CM round-end absorbs pivot stress.
Parts Ejector Chute
Pushes machined aluminum fittings from a CNC lathe into a collection bin, relying on the self-lubricating bearing guide to handle the 350mm extension without binding.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X350-S-CM with MBL32X350-S-CM
To replace the MAL32X350-S-CM, order the MBL32X350-S-CM. Confirm the 32mm bore, 350mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread form. The CM round-end back cover must be retained for your mounting interface, and because this SKU has the -S magnet, plan to upgrade your CS1-M or DS1-M sensors to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for the new MBL body. The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper, so if your application requires an adjustable air cushion, step up to the current MBLC variant instead.
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. At 350mm of stroke, the Ø12mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; use an external guide rail or a pivot bracket to prevent premature seal wear. Remember that neither this MAL nor the MBL holds a load when air pressure is lost, so add an external rod lock for vertical or gravity-driven applications.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X350-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 MBL32X350-S-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X350-S-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X350-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X350-S-CM, which matches the 32mm bore, 350mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting. You must upgrade your position sensors from the legacy CS1-M or DS1-M to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG family for the new MBL.
At 0.5MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull force. At 0.7MPa the push increases to 563N, with a maximum theoretical force of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke stopping, not an adjustable air cushion. If adjustable cushioning is required, the current MBLC line offers that feature.
