This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X375SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X375SU 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 MAL32X375SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X375SU 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 MBL32X375SU, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X375SU
The AirTAC MAL32X375SU is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL32X375SU, a drop-in alternative retaining the 32 mm bore, 375 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and flat-end U back cover.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. The original MAL works with older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, whereas the MBL successor requires current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The classic MAL uses threaded front and rear covers, while the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, though it will not lock the rod if air pressure drops.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X375SU 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 MBL32X375SU 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 MAL32X375SU Is Used
PCB Conveyor Diverter
Pushes lightweight PCB trays sideways on a packaging line, where the 402 N thrust at 0.5 MPa easily overcomes friction without damaging the boards.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds small cardboard flaps on a continuous flow packaging machine, utilizing the 375 mm stroke to reach across a 30 cm wide carton profile.
Textile Yarn Guide
Shifts a yarn guide carriage across a weaving loom, relying on the U flat-end cover for rigid mounting and the 12 mm hard-chrome rod for smooth travel.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X375SU with MBL32X375SU
To replace the MAL32X375SU, order the MBL32X375SU and verify your 32 mm bore, 375 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U flat-end back cover. Because this unit has the -S magnet, you must upgrade your switches from the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M family to the MBL-compatible CMSG/DMSG/EMSG series. If you need to adjust thrust, the next size down is the 25 mm bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the next size up is the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa). The 375 mm stroke on a 12 mm rod demands careful alignment; use an external guide rail or a pivot mounting to prevent rod bending under side loads. If your application requires adjustable end-cushioning rather than the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X375SU (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 MBL32X375SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X375SU FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X375SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X375SU, which matches the 32 mm bore, 375 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U back cover. You will need to update your sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M models.
The 32 mm bore uses a G1/8 port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 563 N, and the maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
