This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X600-S-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X600-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 MAL32X600-S-CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X600-S-CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 600mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X600-S-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X600-S-CM
The AirTAC MAL32X600-S-CM 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. Featuring a 32 mm bore, a 600 mm non-standard made-to-order stroke, and a CM round-end back cover, this legacy unit is replaced by the drop-in MBL32X600-S-CM. The new MBL matches the exact bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and mounting interface.
This unit includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing; the older MAL works with CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement requires CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the upgraded MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body for enhanced structural integrity. The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, and the carbon-steel rod has 20 um hard-chrome plating to resist wear.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X600-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 | — |

Where the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X600-S-CM Is Used
Carton Push-Off Diverter
Ejects packaged cardboard boxes from a flat-belt conveyor at 402 N of push force over a 600 mm travel distance.
Pallet Layer Separator
Splits individual sheet layers from a stack in a palletizing station, utilizing the 346 N pull force to retract the separator blade.
Textile Beam Traverse
Guides a yarn carrier across a 600 mm weaving width, relying on the CM round-end back cover to accommodate minor angular rod misalignments.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X600-S-CM with MBL32X600-S-CM
To replace the MAL32X600-S-CM, order the MBL32X600-S-CM. Confirm your 32 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT tapered thread. You must also account for the CM round-end back cover and the sensor family change: the MAL -S magnet pairs with CS1-M / DS1-M switches, but the MBL replacement uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. Because this is a 600 mm stroke (exceeding the 500 mm standard), it is a made-to-order item and you must verify production lead times.
When sizing, you can step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) for heavier duty. At 600 mm of stroke, the 12 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending; use an external guide or a pivot mount to manage side loads. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts but does not lock the rod—if air is lost, the load drifts, so add an external rod lock for position holding. If you need an adjustable air cushion, step up to the MBLC series.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X600-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 MBL32X600-S-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X600-S-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X600-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X600-S-CM, which matches the 32 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM mounting. Note that the -S magnet on the MBL works with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M / DS1-M sensors.
The 32 mm bore uses a G1/8 port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. It generates 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
