This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X375SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X375SCA 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 MAL32X375SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X375SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 375mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X375SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X375SCA
The AirTAC MAL32X375SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 375mm stroke. It delivers 402N of push force at 0.5MPa and features a G1/8 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL32X375SCA, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact same bore, stroke, force, port, and CA pivot mounting.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection and a CA pivot back cover designed to absorb arcing loads. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. Furthermore, the -S magnet on this MAL works with older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement requires the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X375SCA 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 MBL32X375SCA 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 MAL32X375SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Weft Insertion
Drives the weft guide arm across a 375mm span, utilizing the 402N push force to thread yarn at high cycle speeds while the CA pivot absorbs lateral arc sway.
PCB Depaneling Saw Feed
Advances a circular blade through populated circuit boards, where the 563N force at 0.7MPa cleanly cuts FR4 without stressing adjacent surface mount components.
Bottling Line Diverter Gate
Pivots a routing flap to sort glass containers, relying on the CA clevis mount to maintain alignment as the 375mm stroke throws the load off-center.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X375SCA with MBL32X375SCA
To replace the MAL32X375SCA, order the MBL32X375SCA. Confirm your 32mm bore, 375mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and magnet are retained. If you need to step down in force, the 25mm bore provides 245N of push at 0.5MPa; stepping up to the 40mm bore yields 628N. Because this is a 375mm stroke, the 12mm rod has low side-load tolerance—use the CA pivot to absorb arcing loads or add an external guide to prevent rod bending. Note that the fixed rubber bumper is not a lock; if you need adjustable end-cushioning, step up to the MBLC series.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X375SCA (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 MBL32X375SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X375SCA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X375SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X375SCA, which matches the 32mm bore, 375mm stroke, G1/8 port, CA pivot, and force. Note that the -S magnet on the MAL uses older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 402N and the pull force is 346N. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 563N. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. It operates between 0.1-1.0MPa, runs at 30-800mm/s, and uses a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.
