This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X375SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X375SCM 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 MAL32X375SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X375SCM 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 MBL32X375SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X375SCM
The AirTAC MAL32X375SCM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 375 mm stroke, delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL32X375SCM, a drop-in alternative that retains the exact bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting interface. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body construction for equally rigid performance.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. On the MAL, this magnet interfaces with the older CS1-M and DS1-M reed switches, but the MBL replacement transitions to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families. Internally, the piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, while a self-lubricating bearing guide in the front cover supports the Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X375SCM 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 MBL32X375SCM 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 MAL32X375SCM Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Extends a cutting tool guide across a 375 mm span in an electronics assembly cell, utilizing the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa to maintain positive downward pressure on the fixture.
Package Divert Arm
Actuates a routing flap on a compact packaging conveyor, where the CM round-end back cover pivots smoothly to accommodate the sweeping arc of the diverter mechanism.
Textile Bobbin Ejector
Pushes loaded yarn bobbins out of a winding cradle using the 563 N extension force at 0.7 MPa, relying on the hard-chrome plated rod to resist fibrous dust infiltration.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X375SCM with MBL32X375SCM
To replace the MAL32X375SCM, order the MBL32X375SCM. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 375 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT tapered thread form are retained. The CM round-end back cover provides a pivot point that helps accommodate minor alignment deviations during operation. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, note that your existing CS1-M or DS1-M switches will need upgrading to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the new MBL body.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa alongside a larger G1/4 port. With a 375 mm stroke, the Ø12 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under lateral stress; you must use an external guide rail or ensure the CM pivot absorbs the arcing motion to prevent premature seal failure. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts but cannot hold the load if air pressure drops—for position holding, install an external rod lock. If your application requires adjustable end-cushioning to absorb kinetic energy, look at the current MBLC variant instead.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X375SCM (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 MBL32X375SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X375SCM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X375SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X375SCM, which matches the 32 mm bore, 375 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting. The primary change is that your existing CS1-M or DS1-M sensors will need to be swapped for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches on the new MBL body.
At 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore provides 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N, with a maximum theoretical output of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this model includes the -S magnet, it supports position detection via CS1-M or DS1-M switches on the MAL, or CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the MBL replacement.
